As we usher out 2016 in a hurry, and lovingly embrace 2017 as a welcome change, I wanted to use todays Thursday Thought to reflect back on what 2016 did right. All years have their ups and downs, but it’s the ups I want to remember and celebrate. Arranged in a somewhat-but-not-really chronological order (which …
New Year New…
...Me? You? Us? It’s a cliché phrase you hear thrown around from person to person. We’re celebrating the start of a New Year, a new calendar, so why not take the time to be a new you as well? I don’t know if it’s just my Facebook, my social network, but I’ve seen the phrase …
Gratitude: A Friday Feeling
Gratitude has come up quite a bit recently; as it should in all honesty, it’s a topic worth talking about. I wrote my 5 Things to be Thankful For, which even got a share on Erics Blog, and only this week did I write about 200 Followers, which I’m over the moon about and couldn’t …
200 Followers! – A WiPW
It’s Work in Progress Wednesday! A time for us to share anything in our life that is currently a work in progress. Maybe it’s your book, maybe it’s your photography, or maybe it’s even… your blog! I haven’t been working on my novel recently, I’ve had limited time to write in the busy-build-up for Christmas, …
Taking Risks with a Non-Risk Taker
How often do you take risks? It's a question I've found myself asking more and more this year. I’ve never really been a risk taker myself; I’ve always been a bit of a goody-two-shoes. When I was younger, I never liked to upset my parents, I never really went through that rebellious stage. I hardly …
Building upon the Clouds
With NaNoWriMo over and December flying past quicker than I’d like, I’ve made a decision to get more organised. When NaNo was happening all around me, and with me not finding enough time to write for it, I found myself feeling guilty if my pen hit the paper for anything other than my Work …
WiPW – NaNo Edition: A Nano-sized Success
I can’t quite believe it; it’s the end of November and, therefore, the end of NaNo. How lucky it fell on a WIP Wednesday so I could update you all about my progress! Firstly, I’d like to thank my Guest Posters, Cynthia over at Willowbeithe and Dominika over on her blog, for putting up a WIPW for the …
5 Things to be Thankful For
Today it’s Thanksgiving over in America, but that’s actually just a coincidence. It’s very well timed, serendipitous even, but it really was a coincidence. As you’ll see from next weeks post, this is part of a new series of Thursday posts which will be along the line of Thursday Thoughts or Thursday Thanks (Or Thoughtful …
Hurdles & Growth
I didn't know what to write about today, but then Kirsty said something that made me think, she said: "Do you know what I like about our house? People always say they knew straight away, but I don't think we did. When we first viewed it, being rushed round, and with your parents there, and …
WiPW – NaNo Edition: Featuring Dominika
So, it's midway through November, and it's Work in Progress Wednesday (WiPW), so what could you want more than a motivational guest post from someone who is not only taking part in NaNoWriMo 2016 but has completed numerous previous NaNoWriMo's! Please welcome Dominika. ***** 2016 is my fourth year participating in NaNoWriMo. At the end …
