I haven’t felt creative lately. I mean I’ve been writing for my uni work, sure, and it is flowing more or less when I sit with it but I don’t feel very engaged. Excited? Sure? I don’t feel the urge to write my novels. I don’t feel excited for uni to finish so I can… Continue reading Journal entry: feeling creatively meh

Defining a challenge = defining success
This year I’ve challenged myself in many ways. My focus for 2022 was to enjoy myself and trust myself again, but I did end up tagging on a little extra in that I wanted to challenge myself quarterly (at least).

I choose to see the playfulness and lightness of life, even when the day feels long and tiring.… Continue reading I choose to see it all

What I Seek
I don't need beaches and scorching heat. I don't need endless cocktails served to me in the pool. Bikini pics with a backdrop of palm trees and endless oceans are nice, but maybe I should think twice before thinking it's for me. Instead, I want mountains and vast landscapes of untouched nature. I want hot… Continue reading What I Seek

A letter to my writing buddies
You’ll get there one day. I can’t tell you where “there” is but your version of it is coming, as long as you don’t give up, that is. Everything you write might seem wrong right now. That’s okay.
