i love reading

I have fallen in love with reading again.

One of the best gifts I was ever given was a book light.




I love to lie in bed under the covers in the dark, with just my book light on. It's even better if it is raining lightly.

I love drinking tea from fine china cups. It makes me feel lady-like and elegant.

Relapsed blogger

So it has been almost an entire year since my last blog.

Since then I have changed jobs and surprisingly enough, now that I am no longer in the journalism industry, I have been putting pen to paper (or rather letters to word document) more often.

I am two chapters into about five different novels (mainly I'm trying to sell them off to Mills & Boon because it is just such an easy target and you earn heaps!!) but there are several of which I am very proud.

I've realised that I cannot just sit and write at the same time every day for a certain amount of time. My desire to write comes in spits and spats. I also have noticed that I feel more inspired to write when I read more. So that is one of my new years resolutions. READ. It is quite a good resolution because it is something I think I can do quite easily. Unlike the usual 'lose weight' 'look prettier' 'get famous'. I mean seriously, those things are impossible!

So looking to the future in 2012 my main aim is to TRAVEL. The usual excuse to prolong these travel plans has been work. So really by the end of the month I should know whether I'm packing my bags for a destination far away or just taking a big holiday in the middle of the year.

Perhaps I will continue blog a little more in 2012 - with all that reading I'll be doing.

Au revoir!

in the beginning...

Welcome to my first blog post. I'm not exactly sure what I'm trying to achieve but every man and his dog seems to be wasting space on the net with their blogs so here I go...
