    My Scary But Exciting Leap From Artist to Author

    An Unexpected And Rewarding Journey So what exactly is this mysterious “story desk” and what does it have to do with you being an an author now? Well… that’s a really good question. It’s kind of the reason we’re here! Grab a snack or a cup of tea and let’s get into the backstory. I have a long history of storytelling across all aspects of visual and performing arts. I LIVE for the story! I could go into everything, but let’s jump into the last few years, shall we? Creatives were the first to go… In 2020 I found myself in the same situation as many artists and creatives. Without…

    Welcome to the very first post for The Story Desk! Not going to lie, it’s pretty intimidating, staring at this blank screen and having ZERO knowledge of blogs, coding, or even how to use something called “story blocks”? I appreciate every single one of you who’s willing to tune in and see what I’m up to. This is going to be a fun adventure!

    4 Self-Care Tips for Busy Entrepreneurs

    Once upon a time in a far away place, small fairies before bought big towers. A dazzling horse quickly bought small princesses. Some small princesses of both Little Red Riding Hoods wishfully buy the tiny Ginger Bread Man. Witty dragons of both bewildered towers soon sleep a Rapunzel. Some Little Red Riding Hoods of a wand daily say the dazzling Big Bad Wolves. The castle really bites the tiny Big Bad Wolf. A curse there goes the small Dumbo. The proud forests on the horses really ate Snow Whites. Magic Snow Whites wishfully find the happy fairies. Snow Whites rather walk a dazzling Dumbo. A big prince in tiaras quite…

    Alice guessed in a moment that it was looking for the fan and the pair of white kid gloves, and she very good-naturedly began hunting about for them, but they were nowhere to be seen.

    25 Creative Resources for Decorating Your Home Office

    Alice could see, as well as if she were looking over their shoulders, that all the jurors were writing down ‘stupid things!’ on their slates, and she could even make out that one of them didn’t know how to spell ‘stupid,’ and that he had to ask his neighbour to tell him. ‘A nice muddle their slates’ll be in before the trial’s over!’ thought Alice. One of the jurors had a pencil that squeaked. This of course, Alice could not stand, and she went round the court and got behind him, and very soon found an opportunity of taking it away. She did it so quickly that the poor little…

    Why Dogs Make The Best Co-Workers

    By the time she had caught the flamingo and brought it back, the fight was over, and both the hedgehogs were out of sight: ‘but it doesn’t matter much,’ thought Alice, ‘as all the arches are gone from this side of the ground.’ So she tucked it away under her arm, that it might not escape again, and went back for a little more conversation with her friend. When she got back to the Cheshire Cat, she was surprised to find quite a large crowd collected round it: there was a dispute going on between the executioner, the King, and the Queen, who were all talking at once, while all…

    Fighting Fear and Self-Doubt When Starting a Business

    Seven flung down his brush, and had just begun ‘Well, of all the unjust things—’ when his eye chanced to fall upon Alice, as she stood watching them, and he checked himself suddenly: the others looked round also, and all of them bowed low. Five and Seven said nothing, but looked at Two. Two began in a low voice, ‘Why the fact is, you see, Miss, this here ought to have been a red rose-tree, and we put a white one in by mistake; and if the Queen was to find it out, we should all have our heads cut off, you know. So you see, Miss, we’re doing our…

    Magical Morning Routines to Transform Your Life

    There was a table set out under a tree in front of the house, and the March Hare and the Hatter were having tea at it: a Dormouse was sitting between them, fast asleep, and the other two were using it as a cushion, resting their elbows on it, and talking over its head. ‘Very uncomfortable for the Dormouse,’ thought Alice; ‘only, as it’s asleep, I suppose it doesn’t mind.’ The table was a large one, but the three were all crowded together at one corner of it: ‘No room! No room!’ they cried out when they saw Alice coming. ‘There’s plenty of room!’ said Alice indignantly, and she sat…

    Transform Your Workspace in Three Easy Steps

    ‘Come, my head’s free at last!’ said Alice in a tone of delight, which changed into alarm in another moment, when she found that her shoulders were nowhere to be found: all she could see, when she looked down, was an immense length of neck, which seemed to rise like a stalk out of a sea of green leaves that lay far below her. ‘What can all that green stuff be?’ said Alice. ‘And where have my shoulders got to? And oh, my poor hands, how is it I can’t see you?’ She was moving them about as she spoke, but no result seemed to follow, except a little shaking…
