Hi, How Can I Help You?

There have been a couple things I’ve being doing recently, which could be of help to some writers. Firstly, prior to publication. Anyone who knows me knows I’m a big advocate of getting feedback on writing. I’ve written a post about it in the past, which can be found here, and I have a pageContinueContinue reading “Hi, How Can I Help You?”

Dangerous Women – Edited by George R.R Martin & Gardner Dozois [Books]

I always find it exciting, to open up a new anthology. To discover what stories wait inside, whether it’s a genre-specific anthology covering different themes, or a themed anthology covering different genres. Dangerous Women falls into the latter camp, with stories here ranging from fantasy to sci-fi to horror to historical. And they’re good, though with theContinueContinue reading “Dangerous Women – Edited by George R.R Martin & Gardner Dozois [Books]”

PROMPT #1: The Egg, Part 2 (Fantasy)

Part One Vetta lay before the fire, stretched out with her great head on her huge paws, looking every bit the house cat, if she weren’t ten times larger. Shadows flickered across her black and orange stripes, as Kas held up the egg. Eggs liked heat. So they kept this one as close to itContinueContinue reading “PROMPT #1: The Egg, Part 2 (Fantasy)”

Writing Prompts

I have a stack of books and booklets with writing prompts in. I love them – always have. It’s great to mull on an idea, have a scene sparked off by just a line or image. A good writing prompt can lead to a great story. In a way, it’s always why I sometimes likeContinueContinue reading “Writing Prompts”

That Dreaded TBR

My TBR is way, way too big. I definitely need to cull it down a little and…I’m not even just talking about physical. My Goodreads to read shelf is huge. In the thousands. So maybe culling it isn’t a bad idea? I saw this over at Becky’s Book Blog, and it seems like such a goodContinueContinue reading “That Dreaded TBR”

2019: What I’ve Read So Far

So, we are well over halfway through 2019, and I thought I’d take a moment to look back at the books I’ve read so far this year. Currently, I’ve had a really good year when it comes to reading. I’ve read the second books for two authors I absolutely love (Elizabeth Lim and Angie Thomas),ContinueContinue reading “2019: What I’ve Read So Far”

Circe – Madeline Miller [Books]

Sometimes, you read a book that is so wonderfully and beautifully written, with heaps of description aiding the characters and plot, that it feels like you really are transported to the novel’s location. Circe is, without a doubt, one of those books. Circe is the daughter of a Titan and a nymph, but lacks theContinueContinue reading “Circe – Madeline Miller [Books]”

Spin The Dawn – Elizabeth Lim [Books]

Firstly, look at that cover. It is absolutely stunning, and I spent ages just looking at both before and after reading Spin The Dawn. This novel is the story of Maia, a young woman who wants to become the best tailor in the land. However, standing in the way is the fact she is a woman,ContinueContinue reading “Spin The Dawn – Elizabeth Lim [Books]”
