Nerd Church - The Writer Diaries: Patchwork Writing and Whatever Works For You
(Warning: this post discusses the everyday affects of Depression/Anxiety)
Some people are 'plotters,' some people are 'pantsers' - and I write in patchwork.
For those who don't know, writing fiction is generally split into two camps by the people who split things (whoever they are - I'm not sure anyone's ever met them) - plotting and pantsing.

Month in Review(s) - April 2019
April - well, April didn't have any work-related nose-bleeds, for a start!
Thanks to everyone for asking if I was ok, etc, last month - honestly I think you guys were a lot more worried about it than I was 😅
On the one hand, April had Easter and chocolate and spring flowers, and all that awesome stuff!
Y'know, lots of fun stuff to enjoy and smile about! 😊

Nerd Church - The 9 Most Annoying Things That Have Been Said To Me About Being A Second-Generation Vegetarian
I was raised Vegetarian.
So even as Vegetarianism and Veganism has become more main-stream, I've been sat here in a unique kind of space, that not many people get to see.

I've spent my entire life as a Vegetarian.
Which, especially when I was younger, before it became popular, did create some tensions... not least because nothing used to be labelled with a 'V' or whatever.

Friday Fics Fix - They Didn't Teach Us This At the Academy
"I swear, all the doors in this damn house are going to be destroyed by the end of tonight," Diego muttered.
Yes, we are Umbrella Academy-ing again dearest nerdlets!
(Not least because it's a safe place to hide from Endgame spoilers! Lol.)
