Caught up in your stardust
kisses, I reach for my brush
and paint a galaxy with only
you in it.

-Our little piece of heaven at the edge of the world.

The weather finally let up long enough to get a good few hours of work done. Realising just how much work is left to do ✍🏻 from character backstories, plot summaries, fact checking, history (place and people) along with a whole lot of writing! This month is going to go so fast but I’m ready to knuckle down and get these words flowing 💁🏼‍♀️ . . Creative Tip 1: Take your project outside 🌷 . . #writersofinstagram #amwriting #fantasy #dissertation #research #planning #plotting #writingoutside #backstory #project #creative #techniques #inspiration #motivation #summer #nature #creativecommunity #stratford #tips #lifestyle

GYSTing at Starbucks this morning. Sometimes, to kickstart that productivity you just need a change of scene, especially when you’ve been working on something for what feels like forever! ✍🏻 Feel like the clock is slowly ticking down for the 1st draft of my dissertation, so trying to make the best use of my time with the 25:5 reading/writing technique 💁🏼‍♀️ Wish me luck! . . ‘The cold was what hit me first. Brisk, crisp cold, laced with loam and rotting things. In the twilight, the world beyond the narrow cave mouth was a latticework of red and gold and brown and green, the trees thick and old, the muddy ground strewn with rocks and boulders that cast long shadows.’ ✨Taking so much inspiration from this quote from ‘A Court of Wings and Ruin’ to set the scene in my writing this morning! . . #dissertation #research #planning #amwriting #amreadingfantasy #celticfolklore #writer #inspiration #wednesdays #productivity #creativecommunity #studentlife #wednesdayreads #deadlines #motivation #starbucks #creativetechniques #acourtofwingsandruin #writingtips

Bringing some light to this rainy Sunday ✨In bed with tea and a book 📖 If you’re ever in a tough spot or just feel like your soul needs a little guidance then Rebecca Campbell’s ‘Light is the New Black’ will sit perfectly in your hand 🌷 . . #summerreads #sundayreads #morningroutine #sundays #zen #light #spiritual #readinginbed #bookstagram

Starting my morning the right way ☀️ There is nothing more motivational than reading a book that inspires you to write, so that’s what I’m doing. But first coffee, then I’ll do the things ☕️ . . . ‘I was about to turn back to the stairs when I beheld a bit of land that had been revealed near the tidal causeway. The small building. No wonder I hadn’t seen it, as I’d never been up this high in the day when the tide was out ... And during the rest of the day, from the muck and seaweed now gleaming on it, it would have been utterly covered. Even now, it was half submerged. But I couldn’t tear my eyes from it. Like it was a little piece of home, wet and miserable-looking as it was, and I need only hurry along the muddy causeway between the quieter part of the city and the mainland-fast, fast, fast, so I might catch it before it vanishes beneath the waves again.’ -A Court of Mist and Fury . . #morningroutine #amreadingfantasy #amwriting #inspiration #thursdaymotivation #thursdayreads #acourtofmistandfury #sarahjmaas #writersofinstagram #bookstagram #creativetechniques #creativecommune

✨’Maybe I’d always been broken and dark inside. Maybe someone who’d been born while and good would have put down the ash dagger and embraced death rather than what lay before me. There was blood everywhere.’✨ OH MY GOSH, what an opening! It’s felt like forever since I read ‘A Court of Thorns and Roses’ but I knew this was a series I’d want to devour and do it made sense to take a little break and get some solid dissertation reading under my belt. This book has been sitting on my bookshelf forever and I’m so excited to get into it...I’ve heard a lot about this book with warnings of a complete twist that I will not see coming! 🥀 . . . #acourtofmistandfury #sarahjmass #sarahjmassbooks #ya #fantasy #fairies #wednesday #wednesdayreads #wednesdaymorning #morningroutine #bookstagram #bookcommunity #yacommunity #booksandcoffee #booklover #igreads #readingforpleasure #summerreads #bloomsbury #bookaesthetic #amreading #amreadingfantasy

Living for this coffee date aesthetic ☕️☀️🌷 #coffee #coffeeshop #finchworthing #coffeedate #summer #saturdays #morninggoals #coffeetable #summerdays #flowers #aesthetic #julyweather #mocha #newcoffeeshop

🌷Seven day’s walking, seven nights sleeping in the forest, and I created a hill in late afternoon to catch my first glimpse of Silverwater, it’s broad expanse glittering in the sunlight some miles ahead. I moved from the still darkness of the pines into beech forest and found a camping spot by a rocky outcrop among the tress. A small stream gurgled its way down the hill. There was one great oak standing among the beeches, a dark-leaved, broad-armed goddess of a tree.🌷This book is another kind of beautiful; I haven’t felt the urge to write in a long time but this book is helping me so much! So far I am loving ever page of Juliet Marillier’s ‘Shadowfell’; if you love high fantasy then I couldn’t recommend it more! . . #research #amreading #dissertation #amreadingfantasy #julietmarillier #shadowfell #afternoons #afternoonreading #bookstagram #igreads #celticfolklore #celtic #faeries #ireland #fantasynovel #inspiration #amwriting #amwritingfantasy #writersofinstagram #writer #studentlife #fantasy #recommended

Spent my morning diving into my new book by Juliet Marillier. I recently read ‘Daughter of the Forest’ and completely fell in love with Marillier’s words; her descriptions, world building, characters and attitude towards folk literature is beautiful and inspires me to create! Though I knew I wanted to read ‘Shadowfell’, it was quite low on my dissertation tbr...however, after watching @jeansthoughts #tbr video and seeing how excited she was about it, I knew I had to start it sooner! Neryn is the protagonist of the story. We find in the opening pages of the novel that she is a young girl completely undone of hope; she’s penniless, orphaned, and utterly alone. Yet she conceals a secret which, if uncovered, will warrant her immediate enslavement...but was is the secret? . . ✨As we came down to the shore of Darkwater, the wind sliced cold right to my bones. My heels stung with blisters. Dusk was falling, and my head was muzzy from the weariness of another long day’s walk. Birds cried out overhead, winging to nighttime roosts. They were as eager as I to get out of the chill.✨ . . #research #dissertation #morningroutine #tuesdayreads #tuesdaymorning #amreading #highfantasy #amwriting #creativity #celticfolklore #shadowfell #julietmarillier #booklover #bookstagram #bookcommunity #booksandcoffee #igreads #celtic #myth #mythology #urbanoutfitters #mug #amreadingfantasy #folktales #folklore #worldbuilding #faeries #planning #writer
