Hello, beautiful people!
It's been a couple months since I've last been here... Life has been crazy, but I was also dealing with a not-so-easy time (more on that in next month's post, though - I'm still clawing my way out of the woods).
But there's a big spot of brightness happening at the moment, and it is the release of this new book!

Hello, beautiful people!
I've been stressing over what to talk to you about this month. Not that I lack topics (yes, blabbermouth that I am, LOL), but there's just so much I want to tell you and I was stumped as to what to go with.

Hello, beautiful people!
Sorry this post is so late this month – I was dealing with some personal issues which set back my health a little bit, and thus my focus was on ‘get back to striving again’ and that took a lot of energy and time.

I first have to apologize because this blog post was supposed to reach you last Sunday … but I was with a huge cold last Sunday after I had overhauled my entire wardrobe using Marie Kondo’s KonMari method (I’ll tell you more on that in another post as I’m still applying those techniques to my entire house).

Hello beautiful people!
It feels so good to be back here and able to talk to you again. I know, it’s been a while … but even the best laid plans can go haywire.
Which brings me to what I’m talking about today – making plans.
I am the queen of To-Do lists! There’s that virtual Post-It note on my computer desktop screen listing everything I have to do today/this week/in order.

Hello beautiful people
So it looks like I can pop here once every month - can we please go for that? If I have more worthy content, I will definitely post.
But yeah - a few days ago on a Goodreads group I'm in, someone asked what advice we'd give a newbie author. I wrote a few lines...and then this issue kept working at me throughout the week and it wouldn't let up, so I thought why not put Zee Monodeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03709226882459365836noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522107760074588948.post-63628322294011234512016-05-13T12:18:00.002+04:002019-01-14T08:56:15.914+04:00Living (& writing) with #BreastCancer...& why I haven't published anything yet this year #Sorry

I hope you're all doing well. I'm okay, just battling the stupendously cold weather that slammed down on Mauritius this week.

Did you, like me, just hear the opening music of the AC/DC track based on the title of this post? I sure did. I mean, epic or what? Such a silence-breaker, that one.

First, I have to apologize for being both MIA and AWOL from here for quite a while. Life happened, blah blah blah (or is it bleh bleh bleh like Dracula in Hotel Transylvania? I digress...) So yes, I do have that excuse...but that's exactly what it is - an excuse.

Hello beautiful people
It's that time of the year again; the second annual Color Of Love Blog Hop. Why do we authors write about colour and culture? Why do readers dig this so much?
I can tell you about why I use colour to spice up my works. For, you see, when I started writing a decade ago, there was one little piece of advice that was taken as gospel at the time: write what you know.

I'm appalled to be pulling this card already, barely a week into my 'actively blogging everyday' stint. But as you know, life crops up, and we gotta go with the flow.
Just heard this morning from my mum that my dad has been called to the hospital, scheduled for surgery tomorrow (dunno yet what time yet).

Can you believe it's already Friday??? And lol, I spent this morning online...but ended up getting nothing done. How is that possible? True though that there is always something shiny on the Net, and it's so easy to get waylaid. That's why I prefer to have the wifi off when I'm writing or have work to do. Less temptation towards time perdition.
