Friday Reads | 20th November
Read more: Friday Reads | 20th NovemberLast week the unthinkable happened – I actually successfully read every book on my Friday Reads over the course of the weekend. I’m as surprised as anyone. However, none of them were particularly taxing reads, so that’s quite possibly how I managed to actually stick to a TBR for once. This weekend I’m hoping to…

Making Up For Monday | 16th November
Read more: Making Up For Monday | 16th NovemberAnother dreary Monday which means only one thing – I remember that ‘Making Up For Monday‘, a weekly meme created by Tiffany at An Avid Reader, exists and I gladly riff off this week’s prompt which is: What is your favourite book set in the past? Taking a look at my favourites shelf on Goodreads will illustrate that…

Friday Reads | 13th November
Read more: Friday Reads | 13th NovemberUnsurprisingly I have fallen so far behind with NaNoWriMo that I feel like I’ve stopped trying to catch up. I had put reading on the backburner a little in favour of writing but in the past few days I’ve realised that, if I’m falling behind with writing anyway, I might as well read a little…

T5W | Books You Did Not Finish
Read more: T5W | Books You Did Not FinishCourtesy of the wonderful Lainey, this week’s Top 5 Wednesday topic is ‘Books You Did Not Finish’. Now, I used to be the sort of reader who diligently stuck with books and soldiered on to the very bitter end, even if I wasn’t enjoying the reading experience one bit. However, lately I’ve realised (and we all come to this…

Thoughts from NaNo | The Perils of Pantsing
Read more: Thoughts from NaNo | The Perils of PantsingI feel as though every NaNoWriMo blog ought to include some kind of Ron Swanson gif and, since I seem to have unwittingly started some kind of pattern, I’ll somehow have to try to drop that in the middle of this summary of Week One’s progress. As the graph below visually shows, I was doing…

Thoughts From NaNo | Quality, Quantity, and Discipline
Read more: Thoughts From NaNo | Quality, Quantity, and DisciplineMost of my writing thus far for NaNoWriMo feels a little lot like this. In many ways, the concept of quantity over quality which NaNoWriMo advocates is perfectly suited to my writing style which, you might have noticed, could be described as using far too many commas, lists of three, not-strictly-necessary descriptive asides, and words…

Listlessness
Read more: ListlessnessListless: adjective (of a person or their manner) lacking energy or enthusiasm. e.g. “bouts of listless depression” synonyms: lethargic, enervated, lackadaisical, spiritless, unenergetic, lifeless, vigourless, lacking energy, limp, effete So… I’m particularly terrible at updating, it seems. Perhaps the prospect of writing 50,000 words next month was enough to make me consider conserving my words for…

NaNoWriMo 2015: Yay or Nay?
Read more: NaNoWriMo 2015: Yay or Nay?Well it’s that time of year when the one question on my own lips is: Am I doing NaNoWriMo this year? I certainly want to and I certainly have the time (hello unemployed graduate life), more so than I did last year when I tried and failed after one day, but I’m just never sure I have…

Read more: Making Up For Monday | 19th OctoberIt’s Monday morning which means only one thing – I remember that ‘Making Up For Monday‘, a weekly meme created by Tiffany at An Avid Reader, exists and I gladly riff off this week’s prompt which is: If you had money to buy a book today, which book would it be?
