AH: The Art of Slow Writing
Hullo, world! It feels like such a long time ago since I typed those words, it’s honestly making me feel elated and despondent all at the same time. Well, I’m officially back from my hitouts and hope to stay back, so thank you for being patient with me! Some highlights (?) since I was gone: I did not win NaNoWriMo…I wrote a grand totalé of 8,848 words. Some of them were hand-written, some of them were typed. I’m almost done with the first term of uni! I have a final exam coming up, except it’s quite sacrilegiously on a Sunday […]
(Belated) Hitouts Notice Through November…

I cried a lot, stared at a lot of blank screens, skipped more meals than I should, and have overall been in a tough place. (Not to mention I didn’t post last week. I do so apologise about it!!) Insert Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott. A book that’s been […]
