To my gorgeous girls, Billie and Asher, We're done! It has now been a year since I posted my first post on this blog and made the commitment to share something everyday. 365 days worth of sharing!!! It was a struggle at the end, I won't lie. Not because I didn't want to do it, but with …

Prepping for Nanowrimo
Can you believe that we are already nearing the end of October? Someone even said that it was only 8 more Friday's until Christmas - what the what now? But as we inch closer to Christmas, that also means we inch closer to Nanowrimo in November... Now you're really asking what the what now, aren't you? …
Moral of the story
So, this happened today: A message from my Cousin-in-law - another Mrs Benno would you believe! So the moral of this story is that if you don't want people to know that you have a blog, then you shouldn't discuss said blog in public facebook comments because you never know who will see it. In all honesty, I …

No time to post tonight. The Bachelor is on and I'm a roll with a chapter in my book. So I'll leave you with a gratutious Bachie shot. G'night! Have you been watching the Bachelor? Or perhaps you've been focusing on your own little projects.... like writing a book?
Two Sentences Tuesday #17
She never noticed it when she arrived home, too weary to focus and eagerly awaiting the opportunity to embrace her people after four days away.

A bright and shining future*

We've had a huge day today at the RWA Conference with a fabulous few sessions with Angela Ackerman who provided us with tools to create larger …
I’m here!
It's funny how you never take advantage of the benefits of a big city when you live in one. Coming to Melbourne now is always exciting for me because I get to take advantage of the best it has to offer! And today I did! Shopping, great food, bubble baths! Such a great day! …
1 more sleep!!!
It's nearly midnight and I'm still running around like a blue-arsed fly! But I'm nearly sorted! Just finalising paperwork so it's all ready for when I arrive and then I can hit the sack. Kids are sorted, bags are packed (despite having completely overhauled my wardrobe again tonight!) and I'm pretty confident I've got it all …
So much to do!
There are only four more sleeps until I head off to my first Romance Writers of Australia conference. I am beyond excited but between now and when I leave on Thursday I have soooo much to do. So let's kill two birds with one stone shall we - a chance to get things down in a list doubles up …
