Why it’s good to have a Bucket List
Do you have a bucket list? Most people’s bucket lists, consist of large adventures or big projects / achievements. Maybe it’s to climb Mt. Everest, be mortgage-free before 40 or backpack throughout Asia.
February Goals 2018
I am making a change and have decided to break my goals down into monthly ones. Since moving to N. Ireland there have been some big changes and I feel this will work better for me both in remembering them and completing them 🙂

Tell me about yourself
I have been fortunate that so many lovely people have followed my blog, liked the articles and left comments. Since I started writing this blog you may have come to know a little more about me.
So this week, I thought we’d do something a little different. I would love to learn more about you. Where you are from, why you love to write, what you hope for 2018….

Interview with Kim Chance
1 – Have you always wanted to be a writer?
I feel kind of strange saying this, but no. Writing has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I wrote some short stories and poetry as a kid, but most of my writing took the form of daily diaries and journals.

What I have learnt about being a writer
I’ve been writing since I was 8 years old, so in that VERY long time, here’s some of the things I’ve learnt.
