For the last few weeks, I've been interviewing a few of my characters and now, for ease of access, I've built a little home for them. You can find all my interviews, plus heaps of photos from my pinterest boards HERE.

The Beauty of Success
This week, I have made some serious progress on my ROW80 goals and I am quite pleased. Even though I didn't finish all of them, I've managed to lever myself out of the rut that I've been in re: reading and writing and editing and life. My goals for ROW80 are: read a book a fortnight blog … Continue reading The Beauty of Success
Introducing…Itsak
Itsak perches on the edge of the couch, a shy smile on his face. He is short for his eight years but long limbs hint at hint at height to come. I hand him a cup of tea and take my own seat in the armchair opposite. Itsak sniffs the tea, swirling it around in … Continue reading Introducing…Itsak
Le WIPpet and le ROW80 (Pardon my French)
So. Where to begin? The last few weeks have been beyond hectic but now all my assignments are done and I'm two days away from the mid-semester break I feel I can begin to relax a little and refocus on writing and languages, both learning and constructing. I did a general wrap up on the … Continue reading Le WIPpet and le ROW80 (Pardon my French)
*INSERT CREATIVE TITLE HERE*
Today I'll be talking to you about all the things.

Today I'm going to talk about my process and my opinion on language creation in fiction. If there are other … Continue reading The Promised Post – Language in Fiction

A Late Addition
Yes, I know it is getting rather late and in some parts of the world (mine included) it is well past Wednesday. Oops. Nevertheless, according to wordpress I still have 50 mins to write and post this. So it totally counts, right? Due to assignments and other obligations I haven't yet got around to writing … Continue reading A Late Addition
A Journey Through Time
Last Friday I opened WordPress to check and reply to the comments and found a surprise waiting for in the notifications bar - a trophy and a congratulatory message on two years of this blog. Two years is a long time and I have trouble believing it is that long because it feels to me … Continue reading A Journey Through Time
Tragedies and the Loss of Innocence
I don't know how to describe my feelings about this WIPpet post. The events that occur in the scene I will present break my heart but mostly because I know what has happened, and what will happen. Hopefully for the rest of you, without all its context, it won't be too disheartening. But more on … Continue reading Tragedies and the Loss of Innocence
