Megan Time!

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...

I'm going on holiday to Majorca on Wednesday which I'm so excited about as I always love going on holiday. I'm a weirdo that even gets excited when I go to the airport. It's just that whole excitement before you travel. I thought I'd share some travel tips that have really helped me to make my whole travelling and holiday experience as relaxing as possible. Let's get started. 1. Organise all your travel documents I'm not just talking about making sure you've printed off your boarding pass. I'm talking about checking your passport. Is it in date? There's always new travel rules so do your research before you travel. Make sure you have your insurance sorted. Find out if you need visas. Make sure you keep your travel documents in one place in either an organiser or a little folder.  2. Make a packing list This is something that has always helped when travelling is making a list of everything I need and I'm talking about everything. This way when...

Hi, it's been a while since I've last written here and there is a reason for that. I've had a creative block. It's a real struggle because I've been meaning to get back into blogging for a while now as I knew we're getting towards the end of May and I've only made one post this month. Last month I was supposed to post everyday for a month but that's when the creative block hit and I didn't really know what to write about. It's ironic because I even made a post about how to beat creative blocks. Little did I know it was going to hit me hard. That's why I'm here now because I felt like I owed it to you, my fellow readers, to explain where I've been and why I haven't posted. Another thing that got in the way was work had been very busy and after work or on my days off I didn't feel like writing a post. I've also been working on writing my novel which has been occupying my time quite a bit. I think I was focusing on writing my...

Here we are, the fifth month of the year and we’re flying through this year already. I’m very excited because at the end of this month I’m on holiday in Majorca with my family. It’s very exciting because I always love going away on holiday. There’s also two bank holidays this month which is even more exciting.  Other than that I don’t really have a lot planned for this month. I’ve got family staying this weekend. I’m hoping to work on my novel this month as I haven’t really had much of a chance recently. It feels like I’ve been so busy with work and I haven’t really had much time for myself. That’s all going to change this month. This month is a new month, new me. I’m feeling positive about this month as I’ve had a few meh months these past couple of months but now it’s onwards and upwards.  Looking forward to it all. Let me know if you have anything exciting for this month. I’d love to hear it. Thank you for taking the time to view my blog and I’ll be back soon with another p...
