Megan Time!

This month, I definitely watched a lot of shows because this list will consist of three shows I watched. I couldn't think of anything else as a favourite for this month so sorry about that but these three shows I thoroughly enjoyed this month.  Let's get started. Not Going Out I recently watched old episodes of Not Going Out. It’s a series where you could watch any series and pick up what’s going on. I watched the new series recently and I was a big fan, it did have some moments that were funny but as it was mainly Lee and Lucy with the absence of Lucy’s parents, Anna and Toby. It didn’t have the same familiarity. It did have some funny moments like the Oasis and Hotel Room episodes I enjoyed. Yet it did feel like it was missing the other elements of the show. I’m aware there will be a series 15 and I kind of hope they bring back familiar faces like Lucy’s parents or any of their friends or even the children grown up. Either way this is a series I will continue to watch and rew...

Thought I'd share another update of my writing journey as progress has been made. I've done two thousand words worth of research which includes my novel's logline and road map. This has really helped me as I've outlined different points of my novel which I wasn't sure about before but now it feels like it's coming together. I know that this road map is not set in stone as ideas can change but it's a starting point. Definitely worth creating a road map for your novel as it helps you to map out where you're going with the story. Definitely splitting into Act one, two and three also really help with it.  It definitely helped when I decided to do some writing in a coffee shop one day. I find writing in different locations can really spark motivation. I took my road map with me and was in the middle of writing a chapter when I went there> i got myself a caramel latte and set myself time to work. I like writing the old fashion way with a pen and my notebook...

Finally back from my holiday and back to reality. I thought I'd share a photo journal of my trip to Mallorca. It was a family holiday where there were twelve of us altogether. Seven adults and five children. I had an amazing experience and here are the photos of my experience. Let's get started.  As there were twelve of us, there were a lot of suitcases. Never travelled with so much luggage before. I only had my suitcase and a backpack so I didn't have a lot to worry about. Plus as I had a purple suitcase at least mine would stand out in baggage claim.  We flew from Bristol airport and it was a nice flight. I had a window seat both ways. It was a nice view as it was an afternoon flight. My ears popped in the landing which sucked but what can you do? I tried the different methods, sucking sweets and earbuds in but they still popped.  It was a lovely hotel we stayed in. It was a HYB Eurocalas and it was a lovely resort. It had different buildings which had one bedroom apart...

We're now in the sixth month of the year and as you're reading this I'm currently on holiday in Majorca. I've obviously written this post in advance so I can really tell you how my holiday is going but let's just say I am very much enjoying the relaxing break.  As you know, May I had a bit of a creative block with this but recently, my motivation has come back to blogging which is why there have been several posts this week. Mainly to make up for my absence last month. I have a few posts planned for this month which I'm excited about sharing with you. I've actually taken my notebook that I'm working on my novel on holiday with me so expect another writing update this month. I'm also going to share how my holiday went, do a little summary or photo journal of how it all went down so look forward to that. I'm feeling very positive about this blog and in my absence I have noticed an increase in page views that I have never seen before. In May, I had ...

The end of another month and it's time for a favourite post of everything I've loved in May. Let's get started. The Sims 4 I always go through a phase where I'm obsessed with The Sims then all of a sudden I'll stop playing it and it will be months. This month during my creative block, I got back into playing The Sims 4 and I've been loving it. It's such a comfort game. I know it's basically looking after a sim and giving them a life. I've enjoyed levelling up the skills and building their career. I've managed to get my sim married and am now trying for a baby. I've also had a lot of fun building houses on The Sims. Creating luxury mansions that I know my Sims could never afford. Although, my Sim did earn over $160,000 so I was able to move my Sim into one of my built luxury mansions which was an achievement in itself. Plus as my Sim is currently trying for a baby, I need a bigger house. Anyway, as you can tell I've been loving The Sims 4 ...

I decided to create a series on my blog where I share my writing journey with you.  Currently, I'm working on a novel and I've been wanting to write a novel for a long time. A couple of years ago I did a first draft of a novel but I wasn't happy with how it turned out. Now, I've thought of a new idea for a novel and I've never been more excited to write a novel. I love the idea and I think it is a strong idea that has potential. Of course, I'm only in the early stages of the writing process at the moment so it is very much a working progress.  Why did I start my novel? I started working on this novel after completing a class on Skillshare. The class was called Creative Writing Bootcamp by Myla Goldberg and I highly recommend it because it really did inspire me. One of the exercises was to write about someone you dislike and I did which then created this whole new character in my head. We had to do an empathy venn diagram which is where you have to compare what s...
