I currently live in Sydney and work an office job but my high-reaching goals are to complete and publish a novel.

There has never been a time I can remember where I have not loved writing. There is something about putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard!) and knowing that anything could happen is just so powerful.

I have participated in NaNoWriMo seven times, and reached the 50k goal each time, but none of those stories are actually finished. So I am now focusing on just the one story. It is so easy to become caught in a whirlwind of different ideas that I can never stay on just the one! If I want something to be finished, however, I need to stick to my plan.

When writing I will drink many cups of tea (favourites include Dilmah Green Tea with Jasmine and T2’s Melbourne Breakfast tea) and listen to music of all genres, depending on my mood and the setting of the story.

During my hours of procrastination I am an avid reader of books, listener of podcasts and music, player of computer games and of course watcher of TV shows.
