Goodbye 2019, hello 2020

While we celebrate moving into a new decade, my country is on fire. Lives have been lost, history has been destroyed, and families are homeless.  There isn't a "Happy New Year" for many people in Australia today.  So today I thank the men and women who are throwing themselves in front of these fires to protect people, homes, history, businesses, and animals.

NaNoWriMo 2018

So it's that time of year. I have been attempting this every year since 2006 and have never won. This year I'm hoping to break that drought. I'm working on various things this year. I'm looking at finishing some HP WIPs and my original fic. Fingers crossed, people. Let's see what magic I can do this year.

Life is crazy...

I'm back at work, the family has been sick for the last month and life is just CRAZY!!!  I've just started to transfer my reviews from HPFF, but realised I haven't transferred over all my stories yet - or chapters. I just started writing fanfiction again for a SAYS reunion exchange fic...I have NO IDEA where that's heading. And there isn't enough coffee or time to get through all that needs to be done. I haven't baby spammed in a while for my Slytherin's so that will be next.  If someone c

Philosopher's Stone & Cosplay

Last post for 2017. I hope this last year has been good to everyone. Ahhh...I'm guessing I was supposed to update last year?? It was left here too, ready for me to continue - well played, Blog, well played! I'm re-reading the books and there is so much that I miss about the books that the movies left out. Like in the Mirror of Erised, Harry sees his whole family, not just his Mum and Dad. And when Snape refs the second Quidditch game against Hufflepuff and Ron fights Draco in the stands an

Happy Christmas

Well, I failed Nano again  So that means I am on par with every other year!! Life simply got me with having a new baby with a toddler at home. I have been binge watching Netflix though while I nurse Jakob. I have caught up to date with Suits, and O.M.G! I WANT TO BE DONNA!!! I think her character is simply awesome. It's not just her quirky lines, but there is so much more to Donna than meets the eye. Just when you think you have her sussed, she surprises you. Apart from that, writing

Stalled, Christmas, Birthdays and more...

Ok, so - I have written 1,948 words. Yes, I am WAY behind  It's OK, I will catch up. But, has anyone noticed that Christmas is coming up?? I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!! Yes, I have been Christmas shopping and not writing. To be fair though, I have 5 babies to shop for. Even though my eldest is 14 and into Anime and Pokemon, I'm still looking at HP stuff to buy. Which also reminds me. A friend's son is turning 11 this year, so he is getting a HP birthday. I'm going to crochet something small up for him

Get ready. Get Set. And.........

So, I lied  in 2007, I wrote New Beginnings (MA) and wrote 33,560 words. This is the most I have written, not the 28,297 from the year before. I figured this out as I updated the NaNoWriMo site of my previous attempts and word counts. I'm missing documents from 2009 - 2010 or I may not have labelled them as "nano" and can't remember what they were  In any case, as I type this, there are 52 minutes to go till NaNo starts here in Sydney, Australia. I decided to continue writing my original piec

NaNoWriMo 2017

The countdown to NaNoWriMo is on again. I participate EVERY year and I fail every year. I expect no different this year. Why do I do it? Because I've been working on my original fiction since 2009 and have yet to complete my first draft. It's a historical fiction based on a true timeline of events in Australia. As such, its also dealing with real towns and the longer I fail at writing, the more "life" goes on and towns change. But, I have spent over $2000 of my own money in research for thi
