A-to-Z Blog Challenge: K if for...kindle

As a bibliophile I love reading, but I only have so much space at home to store the paperbacks I read. To this end, I have decided to keep buying the paperback editions of the series (several of them!) I am busy reading. But if I find a new author or an author I like brings out a new series, to buy their book in e-format instead. And it's not just about space and saving a few rands, but also doing a little bit for the environment too. My kindle - almost
10 years old too!But today I am celebrati...

A-to-Z Blog Challenge: J is for...journaling

Writing can be an intimidating activity, especially if the words end up in the public domain such as a blog post, or a published book. Many people want to write a book, few sit down to do so, and even less gather the courage to take it to its conclusion: publication.But there is one type of writing where there are no boundaries, no editors, no critics, no readers. Journal writing. Even if you are not a writer, and have no desire to be a writer, published or not, keeping a journal can also be...

A-to-Z Blog Challenge: I is for...instinct

The Letter I in the world of words are usually associated with inspiration. Personally, I am tired of hearing it, reading about it, and trying to explain to new writers that inspiration is nothing more than an excuse not to write. So today the letter I is for instinct.I started my writing life as a pantser (someone who writes without planning anything about the story), and I have to say that it worked well for me. There are some drawbacks, as there are with being a planner, but overall no pro...

A-to-Z Blog Challenge: H is for...habit

As a word addict - reader and writer - I know that often it is our habits that drive our choices. But it is not only the things we choose to do, such as writing every day but also the things we have to do - like brushing our teeth. Personal care and wellbeing should be at the top of our daily habits, and yet they are often the things we neglect. Not the cleaning habits I think so much as the activities that require an effort from ourselves. Exercise? Meditation? Preparing healthy food? I wond...

A-to-Z Blog Challenge: G is for...goals

Today my post is about goals. I have been reading about goals and why some work and some don't. The success or failure of the goals we set ourselves has more to do with why we set these goals than what the goals actually entail. If our motivation is external (outside of ourselves) the probability of failure is high.If we are setting goals based on what drives us internally, these goals are important enough to us to make time for us to work on them to make them happen.I often make a list of th...
