Labor gives birth to ideas.Jim Rohn I stumbled across this short but sweet quote by entrepreneur and motivational speaker Jim Rohn while I was looking for some inspiration for this month to help me get back into writing again. Maybe it’s due to the change of season, or maybe it’s because I’m thinking a lot …
Happy Ada Lovelace Day! For those of you who might not be familiar with what today represents, Ada Lovelace Day is a celebration of women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths). The reason this day is named after her, is because she's considered the world's first computer programmer, a title that is extraordinary in …
Happy almost-October! We're about to start October, which means we're into the heart of Autumn, and so I've decided to make a moodboard to hopefully share the excitement I have for it. It encapsulates almost everything I love about October: cosy evenings in, fiery florals, pumpkins, steaming hot drinks, walks in the rain, Halloween, …
Hello, and if you're living in the UK, happy first day of Autumn! Out of all the seasons, Autumn is my favourite. I'm not sure why, because I love every season, but for some reason when I know Autumn is on its way, I feel well and truly in my element. Although I can't quite …

The things I put in my moodboard reflect that. I've been buying myself flowers, and over the weekend …

Target: 20,000 Achieved: 20,067 Whew - I just about achieved this with a few words to spare! Fortunately, this month I planned my time out well: I knew in advance when I was busy, and that meant I could plan dedicated time slots for writing. What did I learn? I learnt three lessons over the …
Target: 18,200 Achieved: 18,288 I’ve finally ended a week on target! It’s been the first weekend this month I had some free time. I wanted to make time to relax, but I was also very aware of my writing target, so while I managed to crack out a lot during the week, it helped having …
How is it almost August already?! For me, August has always been a month of sunshine, and sightseeing. When I was younger, I used go on family holidays during August, and now I’m older (and without my travel being limited to the school holidays), I still think of August as a time for adventure, albeit …
