Book 1 of my YA Fantasy Manuscript is COMPLETE!
I started writing my YA Fantasy Sword and Sorcery manuscript "Days of Destiny" in 2007. Fifteen year old me slaved away to write the manuscript in bouts of happiness and tears. But overall, I was never happy with it. I finished writing the book in 2010 and began my rounds of editing until 2011. Then from 2012 to 2019, I shoved it away, not wanting to look at it again. Ever.
Then came 2020. What a year it has been. I dared to take out the manuscript again. You wouldn't believe the amount of cringing I did as I read each and every word. It pained me to think "holy crap I wrote this" (* digs a hole and hides in it*). I took the massive leap of faith and gave "Days of Destiny" a 360 revamp. Gone are those yucky filler words, passive verbs, stale story-line, and poor characterization.
This year I've learned so much as a writer. From joining writing groups, to creating a bit of book swag, to honing my craft, and documenting my writing journey on social media. I can't wait to see where
New Year 2020
Cliches as ever, but I can’t believe 2019 is gone and we are four days into the New Year already. So much can change in a year. I tend to look at the bright side of things and I don’t let myself stay in the dark of the tunnel for long- I go searching for that light at the end. You got to see the good in the bad and make the most of every day. Looking after those around you is important as is the importance of self-care and taking time out each day to do something you like. Make 2020 the year for sharing some love to yourself and people around you. Even when times are tough, it’s important we don’t forget to laugh ❤️ Some of the highlights...

Flabnbone's Feature Week 97#
:heart: Hello Lovelies :heart: I have been a little MIA on DA in recent months. I am back now with a very long and very overdue feature of some my favourite photos from the DA community. Where have I been all these months? Placement, studying, work, and more work. For the next month or so, life should be relatively less busy, so hopefully I can spend more time on DA. It is crazy to think that I have been on DA for nearly 9 years now. DA is the place where I first began my photography journey and learned from lots of amazing artists. This is the place where I will continue to grow and learn. Aside from DA, you can also find me on my Instag...
