Reason #21 why I miss Michael

He always reassures me when I'm worried, no matter how trivial the problem is! He always knows the right things to say to me.

A Room of One's Own

Or, to be more specific, a writing room of one's own. See, my writing is going better than I could have hoped at the minute, and now my mind is jumping forwards to when we will be moving into our own apartment at the end of next month. Or, more specifically, how to keep up the writing when combining it with work.

Even more specifically? How can I make a little, spare bedroom into a gorgeous little writing room for myself?

Que me Googling images and scouring weheartit for inspiration. Here are some of my favourites:

This one is quite cute and simplistic:

I am not too fond of this one, but I love how unique they've made it through their own ingenuity!

And I just adore this little, easy to make, yet bright space, although I'd change the frames and the clock;

In other news, I have become a columnist for The Progressive Playbook... I am not sure I fully believe everything the site endorses, but I am thrilled to have my own space for some more serious writing. My column went up today, here, but it has yet to receive any comments! If you feel like it, I'd love for you guys to check it out and support me, you're always so supportive on my blog and leave me the sweetest messages, which I really love and appreciate! So thanks for that :)

Also, extra brownie points if you get the meaning behind this post's title!

Reason #19 why I miss Michael.

He instinctively knows what I need, when I need it. Whether that's reassurance, support, a hug or a treat. It's like he's psychic!

Sometimes...

...I love to write. Not just the write a little caption and post a cute picture type writing that I tend to stick to here on my blog.

 Real writing.

The type that gives you goosebumps. You know the sort? When you have this raw passion bubbling up inside you, that you just need to let loose on some paper. Breathe life into characters that you've resurrected from the icy wastes of your imagination. Interweave the skeins of an engrossing story. See life through your protagonist's eyes, and feel, really feel their emotions as they race through the pages. The type of writing that you dream about every night, for it fails to relinquish it's tight grasp on your mind.


That sort.

And now that I have a new idea for a novel, I am going to be starting the whole process again. I can already feel the grip it has on me tightening, and whispering startling ideas into my brain...

Reason #16 why I miss Michael

I miss his cuddles.

Reason #15 why I miss Michael

He has an inquisitive mind. As do I. Which leads to some pretty interesting conversations. Which are not the same when we're apart.

Travelling Fridays





Seville, Spain, 2010










A guilty secret? Okay then... Sometimes I like to watch Knight and Day simply for the shots of Seville, then I get to say "I've been there!"
