Let’s Talk About Love: Valentine’s And The Greeks

February 14, 2020February 14, 2020Leave a comment

It’s that time of year again. The time where everything is obnoxiously pink and people think snogging while others are eating their damn dinner is fine. I’m perpetually single (big surprise!) and one of the things I get annoyed with is the ‘what a waste’ comment. As if me not falling in love with a … Continue reading Let’s Talk About Love: Valentine’s And The Greeks

Writers’ Block: The Opposite of an Advice Post

January 29, 2020Leave a comment

Right now I’m a walking (sitting) cliche. I’m in front of my iPad and keyboard in a coffee shop with a glass of mint infused water and a falafal wrap on order. Who even am I? What has city life done to me? I can’t afford to be here, I’ll have to cut back in … Continue reading Writers’ Block: The Opposite of an Advice Post

Behind My Filters at YALC

July 31, 2019August 29, 2019Leave a comment

I’ve been looking forward to YALC (Young Adult Literature Convention) ever since last year when I was scrolling through pictures online and feeling as though I was missing out. As the months ticked by I got even more excited to see my writer friends in their natural habitats. But it arrived with a bittersweet feeling. … Continue reading Behind My Filters at YALC

Knowing When to Quit: Mental Health Awareness Week

May 18, 2019May 18, 2019Leave a comment

Part of writing is knowing when to stop. At all stages of the process. I wrote my heart out in 2017, and I edited with all of my soul in 2018, but in 2019 I’ve had to face up to the fact I may have reached the end of the line with my fantasy novel … Continue reading Knowing When to Quit: Mental Health Awareness Week

Battling a Lack of Motivation: Mental Health Awareness Week

May 13, 2019Leave a comment

I must begin with an apology for not posting in almost a month (WTF Rebecca?!), but the reason for being absent is also the reason I’m back—mental health. As you may know it’s currently mental health awareness week, and as mental health impacts our lives on a daily basis I’ve decided to post every day … Continue reading Battling a Lack of Motivation: Mental Health Awareness Week

The Importance of Friends During a Spiralling Self-Confidence Crisis

March 27, 2019March 27, 2019Leave a comment

My aim with this blog is to always be open and honest. If I can make just one person feel less shitty then spilling all my stuff on the internet is worth it. I think… Anyway, recently (and when I say recently I mean over the past several years…) my self-confidence has PLUMMETED. A steady … Continue reading The Importance of Friends During a Spiralling Self-Confidence Crisis

Meet the Blogger

Hello there! I’ve done a lot of ‘issue’ posts of late and gained a few of you lovely folks but I realise I’ve never done a proper introduction. So, who the bloody hell am I? The Dull Stuff: My name’s Rebecca (Becky, Becca, B). I’m 26 (birthday’s in July. Start saving up for presents…😝). I’m … Continue reading Meet the Blogger

Books That Defined My Life

March 11, 2019March 11, 20191 Comment

Books have been the making and the breaking of me over the years—they’ve been the reason for losing friends and what brought me to the people who mean the most. Whenever I find myself alone, I can always turn to those fictional worlds I’ve experienced on a page. From the moment Hermione taught me it … Continue reading Books That Defined My Life

UK YA Revolution

February 10, 2019February 10, 2019Leave a comment

There’s been a bunch of talk about the YA industry plummeting to its fiery death (particularly in the UK) recently. Which, as a YA author writing in the UK, has honestly had me pretty disheartened. So, over on the social media feeds I decided we should have a UK YA revolution! The most popular books … Continue reading UK YA Revolution
