Well, this month it is and I figured I’d stick this post in between the regular flow because well, I’m excited.

This past year has been so incredible. I think being 27 was great but now its time for 28 and I know this is going to be an incredible year, I can just feel it already.

Since I turned 27…

We went to Comic Con (awesome as fuck!)

We went to Brighton and boy was that lots of fun and really nice to have some quality time at the seaside.

Got engaged!!!

Got to celebrate the one year anniversary with the other half!

Went on a week away to the seaside with the other half.

Saw the Phantom of the Opera (twice) and ate at the Savoy Grill!!!

Went to the Demi Lovato concert!

Got to spend time with the best people in the world! Family and the best friends I could ask for!

Had a really awesome Christmas!

I had such an amazing year and I know that this year will have so many awesome adventures and I just can’t wait!

So I didnt buy the Kat Von D eyeliner I was looking at, Avon did a version of it and so I thought I would buy it seeing as its cheaper and see if I can get on with it. Turns out I haven’t yet mastered it. So we will see.

Well I will be honest, I think this is the first time I sat down to the screen this month. It is also, the end of the month so it has been highly unproductive. I am hoping that will change soon though, I have so much to do and so little time. Honestly, this month I have just been so tired, there has been a bit of running around which lead to more procrastinating and not feeling very creative. I’ve been feeling really run down lately. I have high hopes for April though, it should be a better writing month, there is a bit of running around but it will be organised running around.

How is everyone liking Carpe Noctem? I must admit I do enjoy that one, its quite fun doing something without a moment by moment scene by scene plan, it is a bit more free form with a tiny bit of scaffolding work type deal.

Knitter Knatter, that is an on and off love, its hard to write about something you just do while watching tv.

Speaking of tv… Netflix… Whatever… Well I had lost touch with watching Neighbours for the last year or two, I’ve recently started watching that again as a guilty pleasure. I am also watching Once Upon a Time again.

I have higher hopes for next month. I better order some new books from amazon this month too… It’s gonna be an expensive little while…

Nothing changes here in terms of throwing plugs in for my amazon books on my author page…

May luck and adventure be on your side!
