Hufflepuff Writes

This is my review of Tina Brown's book, The Palace Papers: Inside the House of Windsor - the Truth and the Turmoil. I don't know if it's considered spoilers if the book is discussing headlines. But just in case - you have been warned about spoilers ahead.

I don’t know if it’s considered spoilers if the book is discussing headlines, but just in case you want to read it yourself without any knowledge on the content be warned: there are spoilers in this review. This book covers figures that are polarizing, so please try to keep comments respectful. I want this to be a place where we can share ideas without conversations devolving into name…

This one is a quick update. It's going to be a busy week for me, but I'll make it somehow!

I didn’t forget to post! I got distracted. Yes, that is an admission. My whole Saturday went off the rails yesterday because I thought I had time to watch a 3 hour Natalie Lawyer Chick video on youtube, and then time slipped away from me and I had to still do my groceries. And there was the migraine. So how are my goals doing? I did not write anything, last week, but I did make progress on my…

First blog post of the year! Mostly updates on Reading goals and writing goals, but there are w few other life things in here as well.

A look back at 2022, and writing and reading goals for 2023

2022 In Review Another year has come and gone, and it amazes me how fast time flew. Somehow between 6 day work weeks 2 separate Physical Therapy incidents and back to back vacations, this year has been one of the most creative-filled years of my life. I feel so fulfilled and satisfied, even if I didn’t reach all of my goals. So let’s first break down how 2022 went. In raw numbers, I wrote  5…

All of the reading updates you could possibly want.

So I figured I’d give a bit of an update on things. I haven’t written. It feels like every time I’ve opened up a writing project, I just sit there and stare at it. It’s probably post-nano exhaustion, and I’ll be ready to hit the ground running again, come January. I’ve mostly been listening to audio books, after splurging on Audible Premium after being offered a discount for four months. The…

An overview on how NaNo went, and an update on my Quarter Million Words goal.

Looking back at November, it’s obvious I learned a lot of lessons from July Camp. Rather than trying to squeeze my physical therapy stretches in at the end of the day, I moved them to the beginning of the day, before I left for work. This achieved two things:1. It gave me the strength that I needed for work, and it held up through my physical therapy sessions2. It freed up that hour before going…
