Hi Biscuit Breakers, Last night I received an email from a writing competition informing me that although my story was shortlisted, it didn't receive any further awards of being highly commended or higher. I will admit that I was disappointed as I put a lot of effort and drafts into that story. However, I decided... Continue Reading →
Hi Biscuit Breakers! Well, I never expected to get here so soon! Last year I decided to finally start a blog that would be a place for me to be my crazy, nerdy self without the fear of being judged by so-called 'friends'. I kept it a secret for a while, I quietly worked on... Continue Reading →

On Wednesday 24th June, it was National Writing Day. I was supposed to post on that day, but unfortunately I was very busy. Who knew taking over someone's instagram would take up the whole day? (Everyone, obviously...) Throughout the 8 weeks leading up to National Writing Day, I have been participating in weekly #WriteFromHome video... Continue Reading →

She had a traditional feminine education in stitching, cooking, etiquette and the rest of that nonsense. She could only write her name. Jane wasn't completely stupid though, she served...

Hi Biscuit Breakers! Today is another #WriteFromHome day where I will be sharing with you one of my responses to this week's online writing workshop held by Dean Atta. The theme for this week was 'Water' and I loved it purely because water is one of the most versatile pieces of imagery that you can... Continue Reading →
I feel like many of you have seen the iconic film that stars Anne Hathaway as the struggling journalist Andrea, Meryl Streep as the iron-fisted Miranda Priestley and of course, we can't forget Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci. However, did you know that it was a (may I say fantastic) book written by Lauren Weisberger?... Continue Reading →
