Writing Wednesday
Writing Wednesday is here again! Yay. The weather has taken a right turn towards the chill of winter. I was okay with the first week of the chill now I’m thoroughly over it, but I think a lot of it is because I have to wear boots instead of pretty slip on shoes. Just ugh. Anyway, today’s writing prompt is about winter. So let’s see what you come up with. Layers, chill and rain are all apart of winter, how do you deal with them? What do you do with them? Use details about the climate and make it reflect through your piece. Don’t forget to send entries to…

Are you ready to be Bloghearted too?
Another release of Bright-Eyed and Bloghearted is coming around the corner on June 1st and it’s going to be the only one for 2015 because our beautiful leader, Rachel McDonald, is going to bring her her little bloghearted boy into the world this year! Yay. Now this course, oh gosh, this course has actually been a life saver. It’s content is rich and it’s given me the push to do what I want, you see I was doing BEBH next to B-School and I found that I got more out of Bloghearted alone. I was able to do my about page and share it with the beautiful woman in the…

Do What You Want
I’m standing at my kitchen counter writing to this as I listen to music and I realised just how freeing it is to do what you want. Do you hear that? To. Do. What. I. Want. I spent the day browsing the net before I settled on listening to random YouTube music from 7 or so years ago. Music was great then, music now is good too, but it was great back then. It brings me back to my days fresh out of high school where I had no idea what I wanted to do. I always thought that I could see myself in a high paying job doing something…

How Powerful Can Books Be?
Books save lives. I know that they saved mine. I have never been a kid that was suicidal, or had thoughts of just being over with this life, but I was fed up with how I was being treated. I was bullied at school it didn’t stop until I hit university. So for almost 13 years straight I was bullied because I was Greek; because I was too nice; because I wanted to get to know everyone; because I wanted to be friends with everyone; because I got to be friends with the new people before anyone else. I don’t know what their reasoning was, it just was. I resisted…

In Memory of My Dad, Georgie Porgie
It’s been a year today since I got that phone call that left me sobbing on my cold tiled apartment floor that a man that I loved and adored was gone. I always thought that my dad was always going to be around, he was always there when I needed him, even when my pride was telling me that I couldn’t ask for help, he was patiently waiting for me to find a way to get past it. But I was his daughter (and I still am), I’m stubborn to my core and I want to do things my way, no matter how I get them. I will work on…

Every Writer Needs a Place
I’ve been having a bit of a hard time with blog posts lately and largely I think that’s because I’ve been stressing out so much with trying to have enough income to support myself so I can stay in my apartment that is, very much, home to me. I got a promotion at work and I’m currently 2IC at an outlet store with a fantabulous manager and a great team. I was a little hesitant to move because my old store was so close to me, but now I’m so damn glad that I was able to do it. I’m much happier and life is a little shiny around the…

Adelaide Writers’ Week 2015
For the first time since I moved to Melbourne I attended the Adelaide Writers’ Week in (you guessed it, Adelaide) I had a duel sort of purpose for being down, one was this and the other was that I officially became godmother to the most adorable little man on the planet. Bliss. It was also, in short, a great little holiday I needed where I read, caught up with old friends, found out lots of new things as well as looked back on the past, but enough about that. What you really want to know about is the Writers’ Week. Being on a come down from almost being burnt out…
