Heyo Bookaholics! What’s the update? I’m just going to open this post by saying that something happened to the NaNoWriMo Website and I really do not like it. As someone who has a habit of backdating things – this includes forgetting to log my words on the day that I write them – I haven’t figured out Are you up-to-date? This is my third NaNoWriMo themed post. If you’d like to stay up-to-date with everything that’s happening with me this […]
Continue ReadingHeyo Bookaholics! Positivity!! Due to this month being taken up by NaNoWriMo (which I am participating in) and exams (yuck), I have chosen not to do a formal TBR this month, lest it pulls me off course and away from my goal. Reading is just soooooo tempting!!! From the title, you can tell that this isn’t going to be a normal post. It actually wasn’t going to be a post at all but I thought I should keep diciplined and […]

Heyo Bookaholics! Ah, Another Year Of Fake Optimism! So NaNoWriMo started yesterday… I only remembered to write because of @TheYARoom’s The Write Night on Twitter or I would have forgotten altogether. It actually allowed me to take a break from the horrid assignment I’d been working on all yesterday afternoon and smash out 610 words! My goal for the day was 2,000 as per my planning document, which I made and takes into account every day I’m busy, lowering the […]

Heyo Bookaholics! *Endless Screaming* This was supposed to be posted on Thursday (hence the modified header) but due to internet outages at home and using all my data on my last assignment meant I couldn’t publish my post when I wanted. Now the internet is back up, which means I bring to you two posts today! I hope you enjoy these and the upcoming posts xx Books Read! I fell very short of achieving my October TBR of 3 books […]

Heyo Bookaholics! The Perfect Amount of Spook! From the moment I started this novel, I knew it was going to be spectacular. For an author to captivate a reader within the first page and establish the voice of the main character so early on in the novel is amazing and something I absolutely live for. Blurb On her eighteenth birthday, Hayden inherits her childhood home—on the condition that she uncover its dark secrets. Hayden tried to put the past behind […]

Heyo Bookaholics! Setting up document & Stages of NaNo planning process! I’m creating this post for people like me who want to follow the NaNoWriMo story-planning guide PDF, but like flexibility and plan at a very high-level. In this post, I will be using the high-level steps from the NaNoWriMo story-planning guide (which I haven’t linked because I forgot where I found it) and include the ways in which I applied them to my plan, including snippets of the plan […]

Heyo Bookaholics! More #Realise Content! I’m trying to come as close as I can to finishing my first draft of #Realise before NaNoWriMo starts in just over a week so I want to talk about my characters as much as I can. This helps me to get to know them and makes it easier to write about them. In today’s post, I’m having my OCs write letters to their favourite fictional characters in novels that I love! If I have […]

Heyo Bookaholics! A perfect panel of authors, jaffles and best friends! I’ve been taking every opportunity possible to catch up with my friends and the Tuesday that this literary festival fell on was perfect! The Odyssey Literary Festival 2019: Raze / Rekindle was held at The Capitol, Melbourne and had seven events, of which I only went to one. Reads Like Teen Spirit: Writing Readers Through Trying Times was the event I attended with Lucie (@whatlucieisreading) and Sarah (@theyaroom) where […]

Heyo Bookaholics! Only a little spook this October! While just about everyone else but me loves the spooky season, I’ve never been one to celebrate it. Top it off with the fact that I can’t stand horror movies and I’m scared of the dark and you have someone who doesn’t look at her October TBR much differently from any other month. In fact, this year is the only year thus far in my 20 years of what we call life, […]

Heyo Bookaholics! Here’s to writing! I might as well change this series name to Writing Wednesday because, by this point, all I ever talk about is my current WIP, Realise and my multiple existential crises, but mostly Realise. So last week I spoke about my big goals to maybe finish my current WIP #Realise by the start of NaNoWriMo. We all know it’s not happening because I’ve currently been up watching tik-toks for 2 hours with intentions to do homework when […]
