My Writing Tips

Image
As I'm currently working on a novel, I thought I'd share some tips which I've learned as a beginner writer which will hopefully help any of you with writing. Even though I'm not a professional and this currently just a project for me to work on in my free time. I hope you enjoy these five writing tips I have to share. 1. Make a note of all the ideas you have for the story This can be useful when you're writing. Some times ideas come out of nowhere but you're currently that far in your story to write them or are in the middle of a chapter. Just make a note of it then when the time is write in your story then you can refer back to it. I have a little notebook which I write my ideas down when I'm out and about just so I don't lose the idea. Whether I use the idea is another matter plus at least I've made a note of it so I'm not struggling for ideas when it comes to getting writer's block. Which has happened a few times when I've been ...

I Got No Sleep!

Image
I had one of those weird nights last night where I would fall asleep then wake up an hour later. On and off this kept happening then all of a sudden at 4am I was wide awake. It kind of sucks because I'm actually working this afternoon at 5pm so I'm not sure how I'm going to function today to be honest. I then thought why not create a list of tips which I've found on what to do when you've had a bad night's sleep. Let's get started. 1. Coffee  Seeing as I got no sleep, I may as well start my morning how I usually start my morning. With coffee. I feel like a caffeinated boost will help me to stay awake just a little bit. 2. Shower Okay, you're probably feeling a little sluggish after having no sleep so definitely take a shower. You'll feel more awake by doing so and you won't feel as gross. Instead you'll feel clean and slightly normal. 3. Keep Yourself Busy The chances are you'll want to be lazy because you're so t...

Morning Essentials

Image
Sometimes I dread mornings but these little essentials I have can make mornings just a little bit. So here is five things that are essential for a good morning. 1. Coffee One thing I cannot live without in the mornings is coffee. I absolutely love drinking my coffee. Sometimes I don't care how the day is going just so long as I have my coffee in the morning. So yes coffee is my number one essential for the mornings. 2. Face Wash I don't know why but when I wake up my face just feels gross. That's why after I've brushed my teeth, I like to use my face wash. I feel like it helps make my face feel cleaner plus it works for cleansing my face too. I like to use the Garnier anti-blemish soap-free gel wash. It works perfectly for my sensitive skin. 3. Face Wipes Even though I've washed my face with face wash. I still don't feel completely clean plus I like to do a bit of extra cleansing by using face wipes. Just to go over the hard to reach areas...

Packing For One Night

Image
As today I'm going to Cardiff for one night. I thought I'd share with you what to pack for one night away. I just thought it would be helpful as Summer is the time where many go away and due to work, it's only for one night. So I'm going to share with you my tips and what I'm packing for one night in Cardiff. 1. Make a list  I love making lists and when it comes to packing. There's no doubt about it. I'll make a list. Just think of all the things you're gonna use on a daily basis when it comes to toiletries or makeup or clothing. Just write them down. When it comes to the miscellaneous items such as a laptop or a games console. Try to think are you really going to use it. As much as I love my laptop. I'm not gonna take it because I'm only staying there one night and I'd rather do things outside of the hotel room than be on my laptop on my one night away. So yeah try to think about what you're going to be doing when you go away and pa...

My TBR List

Image
I've been in a book buying mood recently. Now currently I have 23 books on my to be read list. However, I'm only going to share with you three books as I don't want this to be a long post and I'm not entirely if anyone really cares about all the books on my tbr list. Plus I'm really excited about these three books so yeah let's get started with this list. 1. Amy and Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson I've been eyeing up this book for a while. I'm someone who's really into romance and contemporary novels. I've heard people recommend this book on Booktube on YouTube and I've been excited to read it because it just sounds really cute. So yeah I'm excited to read this book as I have a feeling I will really enjoy it. 2. The Endless Autumn by Annabelle Knight This book is actually a really random buy as I never heard of this book before. I came across it because I was looking up books for singles and this was one of the rec...

Just Working

I know I'm a little late to the party but I can't quite believe it's June already. Where is this year going? It feels like yesterday it was March and now it's June. Like where did May go? Anyway, if you're wondering why I'm so late to the party about the fact that it's June is because I've been working for eight days straight. Yay working life. Finally though I have a day off and I'm actually going to the cinema tonight with my mum and her friend. (Cause that's my current social life.) and we're watching Take That in concert live from Cardiff. I'm actually kind of excited because I do like Take That songs. I'm into kind of old school music so yeah plus I have a lot of good memories of Take That songs in the car with my mum and brother so yeah. It makes me happy. Plus at least I'm actually doing something instead of working or just chilling in bed watching the most random YouTube video. My latest obsession is watching Gordon...
