Fancy Bathroom Magazine

Hello all! I have a fancy bathroom magazine (ill put that in blue so the idea is more enticing) I would like you to read with me, my husband has refused to give in to my nonsense any longer, and I have taken to hiding and reading it in the child’s bedroom. I have had a…

Five Interestingly Awesome places to Visit in Edinburgh.

Edinburgh is such an interesting place to visit, and a popular one; cobble streets lined with grey granite buildings, looming with impressive vigour above you. The city generally makes you feel very small, and is and odd mixture of new and old. We decided a while ago to pick Edinburgh as our first Christmas Market…

How to Write an Amazing Book in a Year: Chapter four.

I am SO pleased to say this week I have moved on with my own word count well, I have managed to get to the 30,000 words mark! It has not come easy to me, to say the least. Writing a book in a year is not easy, especially as I don’t just mean to…

Short Story: A day in the life of a nurse

A few weeks ago I wrote a post for RN soul, about my nursing experience, This is a little bit different to what I usually write; I found it very easy to write as it is straight from my own experience. Its not a real story, its a mixture of many different shifts I have…

Short Story: The White Woman

About a week ago, I wrote a post for RN Soul, which was quite fun; I make a point of not writing much about my personal nurse experience for obvious confidentiality reasons, but writing it as a story using lots of different experiences was ok, and it’s nice to write from life experiences. So I’m…

Angry Banana Throwing

It has been six years… six years since we brought (when I say brought, actually mean borrowed money from the bank) our house. When we originally moved in it was an absolute shit tip, and that is being generous; it was as if no one had live there in years, when in fact the elderly…

How To Write A Book In A Year: Chapter Three.

Tip five: Don’t tell people about your story! I can’t remember where I read this one, but it made me stop and think, and go ‘oh.’ The reason it did this, is that it makes so much sense to me, it actually helped with my motivation tenfold. The theory behind this is, that if you…

Short Story: Little Lion’s

Hello! and welcome to my newest short story. This one is a historical fiction as prompted by Jen over at The Frozen Mind. I did some traveling around Crete in October last year, The history of how the islands people rallied together, to rebel against the invasion of Crete, is incredible and inspiring, and so…

Eggy Peggy Soldiers

Oh I’m so ashamed to admit it but I’m doing the whole ‘New Year new me’ thing, bugger it I do it every year, yes, yes maybe it is a bit sad and daft. Honestly I totally get the whole philosophy behind it being a crock of poo, but if it motivates me to do…

How to write a book in a year: chapter two

So here I am again, I have never been so tired in all my life! I think I’ve been unwell with something over the past few weeks because all I have been able to do is sleep. This obviously isn’t helping me with my goal of writing a book in year. I’ll leave in here,…
