I love me a good self development book. Just having it on my shelf with an un-cracked spine makes me feel like I am more accomplished, as if my soul is richer by its mere presence. But there is one thing I have found in basically all the books I have read that brings meContinue reading “Oh Consistency, Thou Art a Fickle Bitch”

No Excuses. You matter.
Don’t you be rolling your eyes at me queen… I don’t care what your excuses are, how bad you may or may not have fucked up, or what horrendous shit has happened in your life. You Matter. I don’t care if you believe that deep down you are a teeming black ball of Venom typeContinue reading “No Excuses. You matter.”
Update A.K.A Where I’ve Been
I have found creating any kind of content very difficult this year and there are two main reasons for this; firstly I use my life in my art, however that presents itself whether in poem or paint, prose or a post and the truth is much of what has been happening this year involves otherContinue reading “Update A.K.A Where I’ve Been”
Perfection is the Enemy
So last year happened. Apparently. It both felt like 347 years and that it never existed, but now it is over and done, and by the mere fact that the earth revolves and we mark that with the label time, it is now 2022. I find it strange that I am so affected by theContinue reading “Perfection is the Enemy”
“What the hell is NaNo anyway?“
An honest account of my first Nano, on the eve of my second… This time last year I had barely a clue what “NaNoWriMo” was (I think I’d heard about it in passing about ten years ago and laughed at the idea) let alone the “indie writing” community. I certainly didn’t understand the whirlwind IContinue reading ““What the hell is NaNo anyway?“”

I had been working on being an actor and performing since I wasContinue reading “How Can I Create with Debilitating Mental Illness?”

Well, it’s 2:30 am and I am wide-awake which can only mean one thing, my good friend insomnia is back, I didn’t miss her. Today’s been a little weird, it’s been my first full day back at my laptop since having time off and I feel like I just face planted into work and myContinue reading “Tuesday 24th August – 2:30am…”
Previously in the Life of a Mastress…
Ahhhhhh insomnia, thought art a festering boil on the arse of decency. So, I wrote a post on my main blog page a little while ago about the fact that I often feel better the day after an insomniac filled night. I hold with that all though now I know why it’s a little crappy,Continue reading “Previously in the Life of a Mastress…”
10 Things My Mental Illnesses Have Given Me (That I’m Happy About)
