Traveller's Heart

ANYONE WHO knows me knows that I am obsessed with travel. I would spend all my money on trips to new spots. I'm always thinking of where I would travel next and I definitely don't need any encouragement to travel.

IF YOU'RE not like me, you might need a little inspiration to convert you to the dark side…

Screw You, Writer's Block

IF YOU'VE ever sat in front of a computer, cursor blinking away as you rack your brain for something, anything, to write - you've experienced writer's block. Lucky you.

SO TAKE some inspiration from the following writers who have looked WB in the eye and laughed. And went on to write these quotes to save other writers from the dreaded WB. Take courage, dear writers. You are not alone in your struggle.Well, at least there's you and me.

“Suggestions? Put it aside for a few days, or longer, do other things, try not to think about it. Then sit down and read it (printouts are best I find, but that’s just me) as if you’ve never seen it before. Start at the beginning. Scribble on the manuscript as you go if you see anything you want to change. And often, when you get to the end you’ll be both enthusiastic about it and know what the next few words are. And you do it all one word at a time.” – Neil Gaiman

 “The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one.” — Mark Twain

“The best way is always to stop when you are going good and when you know what will happen next. If you do that every day … you will never be stuck. Always stop while you are going good and don’t think about it or worry about it until you start to write the next day. That way your subconscious will work on it all the time. But if you think about it consciously or worry about it you will kill it and your brain will be tired before you start.” — Ernest Hemingway

“Over the years, I’ve found one rule. It is the only one I give on those occasions when I talk about writing. A simple rule. If you tell yourself you are going to be at your desk tomorrow, you are by that declaration asking your unconscious to prepare the material. You are, in effect, contracting to pick up such valuables at a given time. Count on me, you are saying to a few forces below: I will be there to write.” — Norman Mailer in The Spooky Art: Some Thoughts on Writing

I HAVE developed quite the obsession with nautical so these quotes are going to become a weekly thing so you better get used to it!

DID I say nautical? That's cuz I'm highly obsessed with nautical at the moment. Although I think it will outlast a moment as I want a lasting anchor inked on me.Typical.

BUT HOW could you not love nautical?! There's the beautiful ocean, the unknown depths, the gorgeous beaches, the incredible combination that is navy and red, and sailors. Have I left anything out? Oh and pin up girls! By the header of this blog, you can kinda see I have a little thing for pin up girls too. I love the vintage style. But if my words aren't convincing you, lemme introduce you to some Pinterest images. Cuz that's how I get my fix.

My favourite tattoo. 

This is the best bikini I've EVER seen.

I don't know how many more times I can write LOVE in this post. Cuz I want to write it again.

And of course the beautiful quotes.

ARE YOU convinced now that nautical-themed takes the cake?

How about now?

What I wish Life was Like

LIFE WOULD be pretty great if this was true... Especially the last bit seeing as all my close friends are moving to Thailand. Not jealous. Not.
