YOUR FAVOURITE WORD
SERENDIPITY. Yep, it’s InstaWrimo time again and today’s prompt is: – Your favourite word. It’s easy to feel bogged down in life, and that has been especially true under this pandemic. But every so often I feel a little jolt of joy at the thought of how incredibly lucky I…
BREAKING BARRIERS (1POV)
NSFW: This is a spicy chapter that contains smut. EDDA I woke up to something I hadn’t experienced since gods know when. Complete stillness. No weird forces tugging at me. No unsettling imagery invading my brain. No pain, no fear, no anxiety. Nothing. Only the spectacularly peculiar sense of floating…
DREAMS & NIGHTMARES
IT’s INSTAWRIMO time again and today’s prompt for the NaNoWriMo challenge is: – Dreams & nigthmares This is going to be a relatively short post, because spoilers, but I think this is a good opportunity to talk a little about Edda’s inner turmoil. The main character (MC) in the Ulfrheim…
IF YOUR NOVEL WERE A MEME
INSTAWRIMO DAY 14 is here, and I’m kinda chuffed to have made it through two whole weeks of daily blogging. That doesn’t happen very often. Today’s prompt for the NaNoWriMo #InstaWrimo challenge is: If your novel were a meme. Well, as you can see above, if my Ulfrheim sagas were a…

WRITING BUDDIES
WRITING BUDDIES is today’s prompt in the #InstaWrimo challenge, so let’s talk about this rare, but richly rewarding, partnership. A writing buddy is like a unicorn. We believe they exist, but most of us haven’t actually seen one up close. Yet we’re hoping one will cross our path one day.…
1000 FOLLOWERS?
SOCIAL MEDIA is like a weird alternate reality. I love it and it fascinates me, but every time I think I know something about it, something happens to turn that knowledge on its head. One of these things that seem to stump me is how follower patterns shift. You can…
WRITING OOPSIES
LET’S TALK about oopsies and writing today. I mean, seeing as it is the prompt of the day and all… I want to take this moment to dish out a little nugget of writing advice. But let me preface it by saying that this advice only applies to you if…
SIFT AND SWALLOW WRITING ADVICE
WRITING ADVICE is a little like pregnancy and parenting advice. You have to sift mosquitoes and swallow camels, as we say in Sweden. In other words, you have to work out who to listen to, and what works best for you and your particular circumstances. As someone who’s made a…
