I was hoping to get these updates out a little more frequently, but it seems that’s not happened. But I am updating! So there is that at least. I’ve got my first update for my NaNoWriMo project and it’s not great news. I should be on around 13,000 words by now, but I think I’m […]
Starting NaNoWrimo 2019
Today marks the beginning of National November Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo for short. It’s something that I’ve attempted a few times in the past and I decided yesterday that I wanted to give it another go this year. So I’m starting NaNoWriMo without a plan, a direction or really anything. Wish me luck! I’ve tried […]
Glen Moray Old Fashioned Cocktail Night*
Although I’ve never been much a whiskey fan, when I received an invite to the Glen Moray Old Fashioned cocktail night I knew I had to go. And not just for the alcohol! I was curious as to how you could make a cocktail from whiskey. I couldn’t understand how a scotch would lend itself […]
Do I Need to Niche my Blog?
This is something that I see online all the time. Should I niche my blog? Do I need to niche my blog? Honestly, it depends on what you want from blogging. Do you want to make it your new side hustle/business? If so, niching is going to be the best way for you to go. […]
Flying Visit To Edinburgh
Last weekend I had the quickest and most tiring visit to Edinburgh. Originally, Todd and I were due to be there for 4 days as he had a work course that he needed to go on. On Friday, just two days before, he was informed the course had been cancelled. I’m not going to lie, […]
Am I Cut Out To Be A Writer?
It’s something that often plays on my mind. When I want to try and edit, or when I have a new idea. But am I cut out to be a writer? It’s what I’ve always wanted, as long as I can remember at least. But does that mean I have what it takes? Will I […]
5 Tips for Moving In with your Other Half
This year saw me take a plunge and move in with my other half. I’d been asked by him around a year before (slow and steady has nothing on us), but it wasn’t until this spring that it went ahead. There were a few stressful weeks, so to make sure you don’t repeat any of […]
My Smear Test Experience
It’s not something I thought I’d ever share on my blog. I didn’t really think I’d ever need to. But with us being at record lows for people having their smear test I thought more awareness on its importance couldn’t harm. Plus, it might help some people to realise it’s not as scary as it […]
2019 Resolution Review
It’s been almost 6 months since I first wrote up my New Year Resolutions 2019. With that in mind, I’ve decided to do a 6 month resolution review on where I am and how I’m shaping up with them. Spoiler, this year has not quite gone according to plan. (Yes, I am now singing The […]
Missing In Action May
I swore to myself that I would get my butt into gear for May, but here we are. It’s almost the end of the month and I have been missing in action for most of it. I tried to sort myself out , but the more I don’t write anything, the more I guilt trip […]
