Ah, moving. Just when I think I’m done with it, there comes another task to put on the to-do list. Organise the garage? Put it on the list. Get rid of all the poison-ivy infested hedges around the back patio? Put it on the list, then order some serious plant killer. Figure out what to […]

I’m Moving!
Yes, you read that title correctly! I have been planning a move for…well, a long time now. It was put off thanks to covid, but the time has finally come to transport myself from a land of trees and rain to a land of trees and rain. Different trees. Probably the same amount of rain. […]
Settling In
The move from Edinburgh was really tough. First, it was dealing with the packing of the suitcases, getting rid of things that wouldn’t fit/weren’t necessary here in the States, as well as cleaning the flat to the satisfaction of my letting agency (that’s a whole different story), getting to the hotel, sleeping not at all, […]
Ready to be DONE
Moving is stressful. No matter how easy it looks on paper (e.g. pack suitcases, pay final bills, clean flat) it’s stressful. I have been dealing with this all week, but now that the final day is here (flying out tomorrow early!) I feel like I’m running around with my head cut off. Basically, I’m stressed […]

Since I haven’t collected all that much stuff, and the washing machine ate most of my clothing, I haven’t got a whole […]
Musical Theatre
Tuesday. You know it’s going to be a decent day when you a) wake up at 5:48, realise you don’t have anywhere to be and fall back asleep and b) have musical theatre songs in your head. Specifically “Brush Up Your Shakespeare” from Kiss Me Kate. Yeah, things are going pretty well. My edits are […]
The Little Things
I’ve officially become a writer. So I should be hopping out of my bed and prancing over to my computer to go put words down, right? Wrong. I am still getting around 2K words down per day, but I am finding it increasingly difficult to just wander over to my computer and start writing. I […]
I am so ready to move
This last year (well, nine months) has been quite the adventure. I moved to a different country, leased a flat, started and (just about) finished my MSc, wrote multiple novels and prepared one of them for publishing (in October!). I have learned a lot about myself and figured out what I’m going to do for […]
