It’s 2023. The plan was, and still is, to get back to writing in coffee shops. There’s just something about sitting in a coffee shop and working, right? It’s a magical experience, whether alone or with someone else. We used to meet up all the time and work alone together …
A first line can suck you into a book just like a pretty cover. With NaNoWriMo happening, I’ve been thinking a lot about writing (but not writing — you know we never ACTUALLY do any writing) and how important a first line can be. It sets the tone. It hooks …
We have endured a long and awful summer to get to the best season of all — spooky season. The weather has finally started to cool down and the creepy coffee mugs are in full rotation. I don’t know what it is about 2022 but I want more witches and …

So far, 2022 has actually been a great year for reading. January started off with quite the bang and, yes, we’re slowing down a bit now but still feeling good. This got me thinking and planning my Spring reading list. Looking back at my autumn TBR blog post I only …
I’m pretty sure Chuck Klosterman is the author that I have read the most and I haven’t even read all of his books. I’m only missing a couple – and let’s be honest – you know after writing this, I’m going to order them to complete my collection. With his …
Writing is something we both love but we also struggle with it at times. If you read our last blog post, you will know that we have decided to write 52 short stories this year. One. Per. Week. That seems doable, right? Your writing doesn’t need to be a short …
