Minions rule
I do like a good animated movie. The best ones are clever and heartwarming (and beautiful). I don't think I ever saw Despicable Me at the cinema but I watched it one night on iTunes and liked it a lot. And while I am a fan of Gru (gotta love a wannabe supervillain...
Random thoughts for a Monday
This was meant to be a bit of a big writing weekend but life decided that instead I should be granted a stomach bug on Saturday night. Which sort of knocked out Sunday and left me still feeling pretty lacking in oomph today. So lots of sleeping, a few movies watched...
Music fix: Kacey Musgraves
I'm a big believer in doing the stuff you like and being yourself. So is Kacey. This song makes me smile. Enjoy!
Fave things: Bullet journal
[Note, I originally wrote this post in 2015 but have updated it a little as of Jan 2017 as the topic comes up at this time of year :D] I had dinner with a some writer friends last week and somehow we got to talking about notebooks (writers and stationery is a thing)...
Art every day…the end result
Early in May I blogged about doing a draw/paint every day in May challenge. Well, I'm happy to report that I did make it the full 31 days. It was kind of fun to have to come up with something that matched the prompt each day and sometimes have to dash out something...
Vale to my microwave
I'm due a cooking post but I haven't really made any new recipes this month that really wowed me. But I did finally retire my old faithful microwave after being forced to admit it just wasn't working how it should...taking longer to cook things, heating unevenly. All...
Movie fix – Spy
I am in Sydney for work, so not too much exciting to report life wise, so here, have a movie recommendation. Last week I saw Spy with Melissa McCarthy, Miranda Hart, Jude Law and Jason Statham and it was hilarious. Now I saw the trailer for this a while back and...
Romance and fantasy at Dymocks
A quick whiz by post as a reminder that Keri Arthur, Anne Gracie, C.S. Pacat and I are doing a panel/talk/event on romance and fantasy on Thursday the 18th at Dymocks in Collins Street, Melbourne. It's at 6.30pm. So come along if you are in town, it'll be fun and...
Story fix: Uprooted
Go buy this book. Seriously. I liked Naomi's Temeraire series (Napleonic wars with dragons...what's not to like?) and I knew she had a new book coming out. I'd even read the blurb but had sort of made a note to self to buy it when it came out. Then the other day I saw...
A chilly writing update
Winter has hit Melbourne with a solid thump. We've had some very cold days and nights. Though, I have to say, also some very pretty sunsets! Winter is meant to be good for hunkering down inside and writing so hopefully that is true. I'm still working on Playing...
