This is What You Could Have Won

Because I Can’t Write a Novel – Day 19 Do you remember a while back I wrote What NOT to Do On a First Date? Well, it turns out if you talk about the goddamn devil it’ll damn well show up. And it did. Today. In the middle of my local high street. I’d only run up to town to get some cash out and grab a few essentials. I’m not getting carried away with the whole Christmas thing because I’ll be heading to Bear’s in a few days, and…

Who Has the Right to Make Me Feel This Way?

Because I Can’t Write a Novel – Day 18 I hate turning on the TV and seeing news reports of suspected terror attacks happening around the world. I’m sure the same can be said for a number of other people, but I have a slightly different outlook into the whole war on terror. I’ve been to a war zone. I’ve been to a place where I was in grave danger every day. I was closer to the action than I ever wanted to be, than I ever expected to be,…

I Win: A Letter To My Future Self

Because I Can’t Write a Novel – Day 16: I Win I’m probably not going to post this up on the blog right away which I know sounds ridiculous but I’m writing myself a letter for the future. I’m going to file it away somewhere and next time I have a bad breakup, hopefully I’ll remember to come back to this and read it. Either that or I’ll meet my happy ever after and I’ll never need to read it again. Here’s hopin’ I want to tell myself that I…

Worst. Dates. Ever. Because I Can't Write a Novel My Dating Life 

Worst. Dates. Ever.

Because I Can’t Write a Novel – Day 15: Worst. Dates. Ever. My list of worst dates was always going to be much longer than my list of best dates, and I think that’s probably the same for everyone out there. Bad dates are horrific too – they have the potential to make you doubt everything about yourself, and certainly doubt your own levels of attractiveness. Haven’t you ever turned up to a first date with someone who looked nothing like they did in their pictures, and that wasn’t a…

My Lovely Lady Lumps

I didn’t post yesterday for ‘Because I Can’t Write a Novel’ because I had a shit day. There will be two posts today (apologies if you’re all blogged out), and I had to move things around a little. This post was half-written on my laptop from the last time I went through this (it will become clear shortly), and it seems only fitting to share it now. The thoughts I’d been writing over a year and a half ago are exactly how I feel right now. Because I Can’t Write…

Bestie Dates: Weekday Sleepovers Because I Can't Write a Novel 

Bestie Dates: Weekday Sleepovers

I want to talk about something that’s pissing me off. I’ll get right to the point. Bestie and I had a huge falling out because his male BFF tells me that I’ve been leading him on for 15 years. Bestie goes on Tinder (like I’ve been telling him to do for three years minimum), and talks to one girl. He goes on a date with this one girl. He goes on a second date with her. A third date. He sleeps with her on the fourth date, and now it’s…

We Found Love in a Hopeless Place

I found a folder in one of my clouds simply titled “Things I’ll Never Say”. It’s been such a long time since I went into the folder, I didn’t have a clue what was in it. Well … I found this, and I figured it was too beautiful a little tale to not share with you beautiful people.   Because I Can’t Write a Novel – Day 10 One of my female friends asked me a question the other day, and it inspired this post. As much as I may…

Falling in Love With a Narcissist

This was a piece that I started to write for one of my many failed novel attempts. Falling in Love With a Narcissist Falling in love with a narcissist isn’t like falling in love with anyone else. It happens so fast, overnight almost, quickly dragged in by their dazzling wit and charm. The latter, of course, being one of the narc’s greatest tool. Brilliant first dates soon turn into week-long stints together, his refusal to let you go a symbol of how much he cares for you. Or so you thought.…

To the Men From My Past,

To the Men From My Past, It would seem that there are a number of you lot who simply don’t know how to behave. This is directly addressing the men in my past, who keep popping up and trying to mess up my future. Stop it. Stop it right now. It seems that you don’t understand the concept of “over”, so I’m going to explain it a little for you, just so that there’s no crossed wires. Piss-poor communication is more than likely what caused the demise of our relationship…
