About
The girl who codes. The smug little know-it-all. The nasty girl who has grown out of her fandoms, but is too selfish to give up the sites. The girl who wants to be a writer of teen fiction - but not fucking vampires.Twitter

Every Christmas Party of my Life
Last night was the work Christmas party. Every year I forget about this one issue that really bugs me, and every morning after I spend in a rage wanting to stab something. Alcohol. Largely I don’t drink. At one point I did not drink at all, but every now and then I fancy a silly [...]
NaNoWriMo – Day 11
When I booked today off work I excitedly told everyone that I would NaNo my little heart out. That was my grand plan, I have fallen behind badly on the word count by taking a day off yesterday (thanks to a migraine) and I thought a full day of writing would set me back on [...]
NaNoWriMo – Day 6
So, we’re on Day 6 of NaNoWriMo, I have four first chapters and only one of them has stuck. I could add those words to my word count (it would only bump me up a couple of thousand words) but since I’ve tried this story different ways, it kind of feels like cheating. I did [...]

Smoking and MitB
Today I have given up smoking (again). This will be my third attempt to give up, and I have to be honest, I’m not hoping for much because I’ve failed a couple of times before. Also, I really hope that Craig stays in bed all day because I will probably take his head off if [...]
Writing
I was feeling a little smug that I had finished the first draft of Star 1, and Star 2 has got a very wordy head-start. Then I re-read the first couple of chapters of Star 2 and it all came crashing down. Genius that I am, I had the book start with a Christmas party, [...]
