Shuffling people around and you don’t expect it to have much of an impact. Or at least, that’s what Charlotte and I somehow keep fooling ourselves with. If we move person x to family y then what’s the worst that can happen? We get a fully functioning family and character that’s more fleshed out and …

sabotage
Sometimes, Charlotte and I are just that good. Sometimes, we stagger ourselves with the amount of sheer brilliance we have. No, scratch that … it’s not brilliance, it’s utter stupidity and self sabotage. We’ve been talking for a while now about how utterly brilliant we are at self sabotage, at destroying our own pieces of …
A week in the making

For us, we could say that we needed longer to sit down and sort out everything. And to some degree that’s right, but on the other hand? This week has been incredible for us, where we have had a week to focus on what we want out …
If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it
It has really been a weird couple of weeks, and apart from knowing it’s a Sunday, and that I almost forgot my blog today, I wouldn’t be able to tell you the date. My sense of time has completely abandoned me this past week. I wouldn’t mind forgetting the part about it being Sunday, a …
Facepalms
If there is one thing we can count on in this journey of ours, it would be the all too familiar ‘facepalm’. That moment where we come to face the mistakes we’ve made along the line. More often than not, it’s a mistake we’ve made before, and haven’t managed to learn from. It’s not something …
Fairy Dust
There are times when Charlotte and I get into a rut. And at those times, we need something almost astronomical to come out of the woodwork and bite us. Going ‘HEY THERE! REMEMBER US?!” At which point we have a moment of “oh my god, look at what we can do”. The problem is, we …
Speed Dating
Over the last 24 hours I’ve come to the conclusion that writing is like speed dating. Nothing has really changed, and yet it has. You have characters, and you put them into a ‘trial’ piece of writing together, and within 20 seconds of doing that you have more of a backstory on said characters than …
Thinking ahead
This week's blog post is going to be a day early. Clara's very smart suggestion to me because she knows me better than I know myself, and she has enough foresight to know that tomorrow, I will forget to do this. I will be leaving the comfort of my home at midnight, and won't see …
Organisation
Charlie and I like to think that we have things pretty sorted. I mean, we know what we’re doing right? We have everything set up wonderfully and it’s all well organised and we know where we have to go for this file and that file … that is, until one of us moves it and …
A year in the making
So, yes there was another little blip last week which we’re just gonna gloss over and pretend never happened! But we’ve been doing this blog properly now for about a year, on two different blogging platforms before we stuck with this one. And by properly, I mean on a weekly basis we had a few …
