Welcome to my glorious come back! Today, I’m talking about comparisons, nesting dolls, and young adult fiction. Which, as far as Rebecca Gibson glorious comebacks go, is pretty effing on brand. Onto the main event. Earlier this week I was in a pretty epic brain-funk (aren’t we all right now?) following some rejection and…the general … Continue reading Comparisons, Nesting Dolls, and Learning From YA Fiction

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

If I wanted to do the things, well, I had to just pull up my socks and crack on alone. … Continue reading Taking Risks and Influencing…Myself?
Losing Your Identity to the Rat Race
We all want to do something we love. If we achieve that we’ll never work a day in our lives, right? So they say. The reality for most of us, though, is we often don’t get much of a choice.
