HIS DIARY - Jasper & Spice

What Happened During NaNoWriMo 2020?

December 9, 2020December 14, 2020

Hai Beautiful! I’m back to my usual blogging schedule! I last spoke about my writing in this post titled: Announcing my 2020 NaNoWriMo Project. It was actually the last writing post before I disappeared from blogging in hopes to make more time for writing. In theory that was a great idea and in reality, it helped me to reduce stress, but did I write more? In my NaNo Announcement post, I spoke about starting my second WIP (which I am still […]

Announcing My 2020 NaNoWriMo Project!

November 4, 2020November 4, 2020

Hai Writers! Hopefully, this will be my year! Despite all the craziness of 2020, we all have things we’ve been looking forward to this year that will never fail us. One such reliable event is the National Novel Writing Month or NaNoWriMo. An event that runs online for the entire month of November with participants from all corners of the globe! For the fourth year in a row I will be attempting the challenge with _ other writers to write […]

Writing & Insecurities (SW#66)

September 24, 2020

Hai Beautiful! Writing is scary! I wanted to write this post ever since I changed my mindset regarding my writing. Recently I stopped telling myself that “ignoring your WIP is not the same as giving up,” and “you can’t be scard of a writing project!” and started trying to understand the reason why I was indeed ‘giving up’. Once I’d identified what the hell I was so damn scared of, I was able to start working on ways to make the writing […]

Hai Beautiful! Okay, that title may be a few letters too long… It’s about time I update you all on my WIP progress, methinks. Although, embarrassingly, I haven’t been writing lately and posting this novel has added that pressure that I thought I was ready for, but as it turns out, I don’t think I am. If you are new or haven’t yet seen any previous writing posts, I am pleased to inform you that I am writing another ‘novel’! […]

Writing Goals For September 2020

September 3, 2020

Hai Beautiful! I love disappointing myself by not achieving any of my writing goals… In today’s post I will be talking about my writing, some goals and hopes I have for it for the month of September. This will be realistic, within my limits and hopefully helpful to you if you are creating your own goals! If you are unaware, I am currently writing my second novel with the working title, His Diary and I am posting every single chapter to […]

The YA Page’s FIRST EVER Virtual Meet-Up! (SW#63)

August 30, 2020

Hai Beautiful! I’ve waited all quarantine for this! When The YA Page announced that they would be hosting a virtual writer’s group, I felt like dreams had been listened to and were finally coming true! If you don’t already know, @TheYAPage are a writer’s group who, before the lockdown, met up once a month in Melbourne to chat, drink coffee and write together. They also host weekly write nights on Twitter every Thursday which are super fun to participate in! The […]

Writing… What’s Next? Talking about my second WIP project (SW#63)

August 6, 2020September 10, 2020

Hai Beautiful! Don’t stop writing! All updates on this story will be under the tag: His Diary. I’ve started writing my second WIP and I am really excited to share it with you all (even though it’s only draft one). I want to apply all my learning from my last attempt at writing a novel to this one and go on a journey where my writing grows and improves before your very eyes! Albeit, slowly, but improvement shall be seen nonetheless […]

The Girl Behind The Blog!

HELLO WoooorrrrRLllD; THIS IS ME-eeeee!

Hi, that’s my face! My name is Bree and I’m the human teapot behind Jasper + Spice! I’m a huge nerd – no shock to anyone here I hope.

When I’m not doing my 7.5 hours at work or mindlessly watching YouTube videos; you’ll find me lurking in bookstores, talking to myself (no joke I actually do this); or eating. Though not at the same time, because books + food = bad!

I’ve started many projects. Some of which won’t ever be finished. I have journals on top of journals, and unfinished manuscripts that I attend to from time to time. My current projects are NaNo2019 Novel [Completed], #Realise [On Hold] and The Inversion [On Hold]. I post writing content on Wednesdays!

To find out more about me, you can visit my about me page or you can start a conversation with me on my Instagram or Twitter!

P.S. If any of you have seen The Saddle Club, you’d understand the above reference, and even though the show is no more, the theme song never leaves my head!!
