Hi =)

I’m 19

I’m the girl who sits there daydreaming about what I’m going to write next. I spend my study time creating stories and I’ve found the best motivation for writers’ block is to have something else urgent that you need to do. Go me ;)

I spent the past year working at a cheese factory/café. Now I’m at uni, studying Media and Communications. It’ll be fun when I can be an editor.

My secret weapon is my Canon EOS 300D camera and my mega awesome skills at getting into awkward situations out in the middle of nowhere XD

My cat likes to wake me up in the mornings by sitting on my chest. She doesn’t seem to realise I can’t get up to feed her if I can’t move.

My horses are my life. I have two =)

I refuse to get my ears pierced. Nope. No way. Get out.

I will love anyone who loves me for who I am.

I like people to think I’m complicated when I’m really not XD

I am middle-name-less.

My hair looks great when I’m at home but when I’m out its horrible. Guaranteed. Like 100%.

Jeans and cowboy boots all the way.

I love country music. If there’s one thing I wish I could do besides fly, it’s sing and play guitar. Maybe in my next life sigh.

My number one goal in life is to be happy. So far, it’s working.

I love wearing pretty dresses with nowhere to wear them to. Licking the beaters after making meringues is the bestest. Yum.

I dream about the day there is a YA book on the market by an Aussie, set in Aussie… and it’s going to be written by me =D

Stir-fry is the best. Japan is awesome. I want to go to Kakadu.

I live for the day that I learn to accept that my nose isn’t as horribly shaped as my imagination tells me it is. It likes to grossly exaggerate my flaws. Bad imagination.

I’m going to be famous and work from home. I’m going to have a small Piedmontese/Limo stud and rescue brumbies. I’m going to own a morgan from Ranchboss Cortez bloodlines. You see if I don’t.

I have way too many dreams.

If you have gotten this far, thankyou thankyou thankyou for taking four minutes of your life (or however long it took you to read this) to listen to boring old me going on about myself. You are a gem.

My name’s Laura =)

The year the world changed

Emotions and memories are such powerful things. At such a turning point in my own life, I am doing something different. Going back through old photos, some from several years ago, sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry, sometimes I think, ‘wow, you know what, I wasn’t as horrible as I thought I was at this.’ / And I wanted to share. / I’ll be uploading several images over the coming days, some of th…

It's this time of year

Several things have been happening in my life lately, and its all good news. / My first novel is DONE!!!! Well, almost, its still got one or two more edits to go, and then it will be off into the wide world, because yes, I have made a big decision to skip traditional methods and self publish. Scary but it’s what I want to do and by golly I am going to do it. / The cover is all but done, and…
