Wandersom Scribbles - Breathing Fresh Air. Just a little musing from my walk this evening.

I am writing. Writing about whatever comes to mind.

The sun is setting on this gorgeous day and it’s mild out. How lucky am I? I am scared but at this moment it fades away. This walk I’ll cherish. The sunlight, the fresh air, and the smiles from the passersby. Though we cross over on the street or step aside to let eachother pass we still share a connection.

Through fleeting smiles and…

The Hobbit

By J.R.R. Tolkien

“I am looking for someone to share in an adventure that I am arranging, and it’s very difficult to find anyone.’

I should think so — in these parts! We are plain quiet folk and have no use for adventures. Nasty disturbing uncomfortable things! Make you late for dinner!”

― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again

The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien is a…

The Starry Night - Short Story - As per my last blog post here is the first of my short stories! #ShortStories #WritersCommunity #AmWriting #ShortFiction

CONTENT WARNING!!!

This short story contains references to self-harm and suicide which could act as triggers to some readers.

Hypnotized by the stars, the streaks of Milky Way sprayed across the page. The cat, who’s name was unknown to me at the time, refused to look away. No matter how I persisted he would not glance my way. His glossy coat and glassy eyes intently focused on the…

Short Stories for Structure -Self deprecation leads sometimes to self discovery! #AmWriting #PlotPractice #Shortstories #WriterSlump #Writingcommunity

Sorry for the long hiatus! I know I say that a lot but I’ve been very down on my writing as of late and this has led to a brief spell away from my words. I’m back now though and coming back stronger than ever. I glanced over my last post and saw that it was about writing rutts… Super accurate to my previous mindset but I want to dig a little deeper before I proceed to the meat of this post.

A blog post for you folks. This one is quite personal - Mind Rut - Writing Slump. #AmBlogging #WriterSupport #Published #MajiBorn

Recently I’ve been in a sort of mind rut when it comes to writing. I realized about a week ago that I was once again avoiding my favourite pastime and career goal and instead focusing on other things. I the last few months I’ve gotten a new boyfriend, learned to play Magic the Gathering, which I am ridiculously obsessed with, and moved into a new place.

I’ve been gaming, gardening, going…

Graceling by Kristin Cashore

“When a monster stopped behaving like a monster, did it stop being a monster? Did it become something else?” 

Graceling – Kristin Cashore

This list would not be complete without Graceling by Kristin Cashore. This book is one of my favourite Young Adult Fantasy books. It follows Katsa, a young woman graced with the ability to kill. She was given to the King as…

The Latest: Plotting As A Former Pantser! Do you plot or pants? Are you participating in #CampNaNoWriMo? #AmBlogging #AmPlotting #StoryGrid #NaNoWriMo

Some of you may be aware of my past as a self proclaimed “Panster”. I have discovered as I write that I am growing into a “Plantser”. For those of you who have not heard of this term before let me elaborate.

Once upon a time on the Internet I discovered the terms ‘Plotter’ and ‘Pantser’ and my glee ignited as I learned more and more about the two facilities of writing practice.

My latest post is all about why I decided to leave Facebook! Hope you enjoy! What's your thoughts on Facebook? #AmWriting #SelfPromoPlan #WriterConcerns

During the past month, I’ve gone through a shift in my personal and professional life. We are constantly evolving and this is reflected back to me every month through my choices and every new bridge I chose to cross or door I chose to open or shut.

As of yesterday, I am no longer on Facebook. This is a big change for me as I have held my Facebook account for over fifteen years.

Maji Born Update March 2019 - Maji Born is in edits and has a cover! #YAFantasy #AmEditing #ChroniclesofMaji

Hello Everyone! I’ve been MIA for a month or so due to my crazy busy work schedule and thought I should give you an update on my book. Maji Born is in edits as previously mentioned, but the first chapter has been polished to completion and submitted to Booksies First Chapter competition. If you are subscribed to my newsletter you will already be aware of this! This is very exciting news and I…

My latest article! Editing, Editing, Editing, Oh My!

When you start a book you never begin by thinking about all the work. During the last few years I’ve really begun to focus on my writing and on getting my work up to getting my work published.

When writing began it was a fun way to dive into another world, to experience someone else’s story. Now those elements, though still present, are met with lots of intricate partners. It’s a dance…

My latest ABC Book Tag, we're up to F! #Feed #FalconersKnot #Fire #FireSermon #AmReviewing #WritersReading

The Fire Sermon

“A history written in ashes, in bones. Before the blast, they say there’d been sermons about fire, about the end of the world. The fire itself gave the last sermon; after that there were no more.”

Francesca Haig’s, The Fire Sermon starts off slow but builds into a very enjoyable series. The plot is based around the idea that 400 years from now everyone is born with a twin.…

Check out the Mood boards i've created for #MajiChronicles #MajiBorn I find mood boards extremely helpful when plotting/writing! #amwriting #amediting #amplanning #writingtools

I’ve been editing Maji Born in a lot of my free time and spent some of today creating mood boards for my main cast. I find that having a visual element when plotting, problem-solving, and creating can be extremely helpful. Mood boards and playlists are a big part of my planning process.

I use BeFunky to create my boards with the help of Pinterest.

2018 is quickly drawing to a close! How was your year? A lot happened for me this year and I look forward to seeing what 2019 has to offer! #Change #NewYear #BringOn2019 #2k19

A lot has changed for me in 2018. At the beginning of the year, Mira Sinclair came into existence. Creating Mira was a big decision for me. I’ve always loved my given name but between pronouncing it and spelling it there has always been loads of miscommunication. Mira Sinclair was both a business and personal decision creating a separation between my personal and professional personas.
