Hello!

My name's Amy.

I live in Leeds with my husband, Paul, our son, Benjamin, and our cat, Tuna Fey.

This blog is a little snapshot of my life, just as it is right now. It's a collection of many things; from motherhood and family to recipes, crafts, books and interiors.

When I sat down to write I was feeling very not in the zone after a day of work and an evening of running around doing chores. But then... I somehow wrote almost 1000 words? I suppose that’s the beauty of this project - sometimes showing up is the hardest part and with that decision out of my hands, I’m a tiny, tiny step closer to finishing this book.
Also, I think I’ve decided that Lola is a Slytherin and Grant is a Gryffindor. So now that important detail is out there, I can get on with the rest!

I’m finally getting over my sinus infection, the sun was shining so we played out on the deck after nursery, and the house is tidy & dinner is made so all I have left to do tonight is write. What a joy life is, really. Feeling in a good flow with what I’ve got going on right now. We should start the new year on the first day of spring, it’s so much more energising than January! ☀️ #flashesofdelight #littlestoriesofmylife #tfispring #bodenbyme #chattycaptioncommunity #whatmamawore #mumstylefiles #discoverunder5k #thisjoyfulmoment #thecaptionclub #findingthejoyineveryday #thehappynow

Today’s words were rushed - another rewrite of a scene I’d already done but I think I’ve fixed a potential problem which would have kept the hero & heroine apart. So here we are, still chugging along, about to hit that 10K mark which feels like the tipping point from ‘playing at writing’ to ‘writing a book’. So glad there are still more than 90 days left because I’m going to need them! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #creativelifehappylife #createeveryday #createeverydamnday #amylizwrites #hurrayforplay #stayinspired #doitfortheprocess #showyourwork #maketimeforcreativity #amwriting #the100dayproject #100daystowriteabook #the100dayproject2019

Currently: Saying ‘night night’ and ‘oh no’. Obsessed with diggers and fire engines (nee naws). Wanting to read Max the Brave and Paddington. Wearing the next size up (again). Sleeping through the night (for a few nights, at least). Giving proper hugs and occasional, precious kisses. God, I love you ❤️ #happyselves #pbloggers #momentsofmine #ohheymama #momentsinmotherhood #momentslikethese #letthembelittle #mytinymoments #littlefamiliesofig #writeyouonmyheart #thehappynow #rememberingthesedays #capturingchildhood #kidsforreal #wildandfreechildren #motherhoodalive #humansofjoy #magicofchildhood

I went against my own advice and went back today, rewriting the first few paragraphs; this is where we meet Lola and I wanted to get more of a grip on her, what she wants, what her story is, and why our hero might fall in love with her by the end of the book. She's a bit fiesty, a bit prickly, hella independent 💪🏻 but also afraid of the dark and looking for some stability in her life. That's all I know so far, but I'm already quite fond of her and want to tell her it's okay to let someone in and to let them help you... something I think she just might learn over the course of the book 👀 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
