My 2023 projects were pretty simple to pick. All Rift Bloodlines books, and compiling Ernie. The question is, will I have enough time to finish the books? Rift Bloodlines Book 1 – Buried by Earth Book 1 of the Rift Bloodlines series is the one that is the furthest along of of the first three …
In 2021 I started keeping track of how much time I spent writing, and how many words I got. This really helped when it felt like I wasn’t making progress on anything. It showed that I am moving forward. In 2022 I continued with this process and surprisingly the numbers were similar to last year. …
Below I’m going to breakdown of what I watched, read and played in 2022. I’ve never tracked anything except what I’ve read in the past, but when I picked Balance as my word of the year, I wanted to get a visual of how much time I spent having fun, and doing things unrelated to …
In 2022 I set a word of the year – BALENCE. It was all about finding a better split between writing and fun and work. This kind of balance is always going to take work as our lives and needs changed, but by making it my word of the year, I was able to change …

Christmas movies for 2022 are locked and loaded – though maybe i should have double checked where I will be watching them… But I am sure I will find them somewhere. Thank you to everyone who clearly agreed with me that Die Hard is a Christmas movie lol! I have decided to watch it, plus …
I got NaNoWriMo finished last week, and I was just shy of finishing Rift Bloodlines Book 2, but I made it over the line of Thursday. So book 2 Draft 2 is officially done! It’s not as clean as I was hoping, having gone from 35k to 71k long – though, to be fair, 15k …

The new website went live today! I did new colours, branding and logo and it has turned out epic. Or at least I think it has. I especially love the header and the coloured logo! New Logos and backgrounds I built this Logo inside Canava – with the pro licence – and it amazed me at …
And another month whooshes by… But I finished my fourth edit (yes, it’s been a lot) on Rift Bloodlines 1🥳. Buried by Earth went from 8k to 24k to 47k and now to 69k. One day, maybe, I will get it right on the first and second round… But… Here we are. I’m really satisfied …

National Novel Writing Month-or NanoWriMo for short-is a challenge to write 50000 words in the 30 days of November. It’s a hard challenge to complete. I have done it before. I won five times over the years. Last year was one of those, and it was how I got started writing again after so many …
This month has been busy all around, partly due to a few work commitments which meant I had to travel. Writing-wise, I have been bouncing between two projects, Wishing for Truths, my next standalone short story, and Earth Bound, which is a Paranormal Romance Novella. Both of these were existing published short stories that I …
