An aspiring author's creative writing space, featuring a white desktop, a laptop, a stack of books, a notebook and pen, a plant, and a wooden sign that says "write".

Ups and downs and everythings of an aspiring author.

Get wordy with me.

Welcome! Thanks for being here.

Join me in the comments as I blog my way through trying to finish writing a novel.

If you're an aspiring author like I am, my hope is that you can find something in these pages to spark you, humour you or even just commiserate with you on how writing life can be.

I'd love to hear what works for you (or doesn't) and what resonates (or doesn't).

Writing doesn't have to be a solitary exercise. Let’s do this community style.

A printed and bound manuscript with the title "The first, first draft", it features a yellow post it note marking it as unfinished and includes a caption saying "if you are reading this, please for the love of god, dont." It sits on a beige table runner, on a timber table top, next to a pen, some highlighters and a plaque that says "write".
