Happy Star Wars Day!
So this year I decided that I wanted to celebrate! So I have this friend who is absolutely obsessed with Star Wars and we were both off work on the 3rd of May (I know that’s the day before May the Fourth be with you but we are adults) so I invited him over to watch the movies. He agreed and little did he know that my “too much gene” was already going haywire.

Writers Block Makes me Feel Like a Failure
So this is the first time I’m sitting down to write something since probably January of this year and that makes me feel really sad at the lack of progress I have made on my writing. I have only added probably like 100 or 200 words to my book since I finished the first draft and I was planning on having an updated version of my book by the end of January. I have wrote maybe one or two articles for my Vocal page and I took a huge hiatus from promoting myself on Twitter. I want to fix this sore spot that I am currently in and this is how I am going to do it.

3 Things I Felt After Finishing My First Book Outline
Yesterday I finished my first ever book outline just in time to partake in NaNoWriMo 2021 for the first time. This is a book that originally made me want to become a writer and I’ve been sitting on it for about two or three years but I never sat down and made a proper outline.

Is Faking it Till You Make it True?
I always like to believe that I am the bigger person in every situation in my life. I also have a terrible habit of never admitting I’m wrong (because I never am). This can sometimes cause a conflict in my male-female relationships but hey ho. Who needs a man?

Saving Money
So yesterday I was out for lunch with one of my work friends and as we were sitting there enjoying our Pizza Hut I received a phone call. It was from my car garage where I purchased my first car a few years back. I still remember the panic attack I had driving home from said garage with my ex boyfriend in the car, I don’t want to talk about it…

Can a Night Owl become an Early Bird?
Is it possible to completely change your sleeping pattern in order to become the best version of yourself possible? It is currently 9am in the morning and I just started writing, I ate something for breakfast (which I never usually eat) and I have a bottle of water on my desk next to me (which I never drink)

Self Care Comes First
The first step to loving yourself is to realise that you come first in every situation. Your mental health and your happiness comes before friends, family and work. The sooner you come to realise this the better you will start to get in all aspects of your life.

A Day in the Life
“Now I know you want to take me alive but I want to know why” I turn slowly to look at each individual person before I face the one I assume is in charge. He is wearing a badge on his uniform unlike the others and his face seems to be more cruel. When he doesn’t open his mouth to speak I push down on the trigger slightly and that seems to startle the group. Even the leader falters a little. “Someone better speak up.”

A Day in the Life
Samson is blocking the front door, he’s trying to keep me here. “You can’t leave, if they don’t get you they will kill me. They won’t hurt you, they promised!” He steps forward to try and grab me so I throw myself over the banister to try and escape. I don’t stick the landing as my trainer lands on a broken piece of ceramic and I fall. My hand lands in a shard of glass and I yelp in pain.
