This is the latest I have ever left it to write my blog, no excuses but what a week. As I have written in my previous blogs, I gave notice a month ago at the company I have been employed by for the past 6+ years. The start of the week started out as normal, but by the end I felt so different. I didn’t have any regrets with the decision I had made, as I do strongly believe in…..
This week I would like to talk about appreciation and the things I am grateful for. As most people know it is a tough industry to try and break into and can be cold. Sometimes you feel that maybe what you’re wanting is impossible. Someone might make you second guess yourself and for that moment you let doubt slip in and stand right next to you. Oh boy, have I been feeling that lately especially as I have resigned from…..
Happy New Year Everyone… Dreams, goals whatever you want to call them, they come from the deepest desire of your heart. The start of the New Year has a lot of people thinking about the past year, all the things they have lost or gained during that time and they start to make their plan of how they want their new year to be. Hands down 2018 was the most eventful year to date, I published my first novel, we…..
As I write this week’s blog I am sitting in the passenger seat of our car as we make our way up to the lake with our friends for our summer holiday. Christmas is over and today feels like the first day in weeks we can breathe, it is also the first time in the past week I have felt like we are actually on holidays. I do love this time as it gives everyone with busy schedules time to…..
When you first tell someone you have written a book, the first thing they ask you is “what is it about”? The next question is “So when is the next book coming out?” and “are you writing a sequel”? After experiencing this, I now completely understand my friend’s reactions when they have just had a baby and they are still sitting in their hospital bed when their family members ask them when they are having their next child! The answer is…..
When I initially started writing my first novel, I didn’t ever expect it would one day become published. The truth is I just started writing about a woman that I felt was so different to myself and I used her story as a stress release. I have always been a big softy who wears my heart on my sleeve and strives for perfection. This woman I had created and was writing about was confident, independent, mentally strong, and aware of…..
We all have that one thing in our lives that inspires us, motivates us and pushes us to want more for ourselves. I have only recently discovered what inspires me in my writing and what played a massive role in my life to date and that is MUSIC. Music has this incredible ability to move us, lift our moods and take us to another place. I grew up in a home with a Mum that loved music. She was forever…..
My name is Ashlee Wynters and I would firstly like to say thank you for visiting my blog. I am the author of Moore, Than a Pretty Face. I would like to start from the beginning on how I became a published author and my journey. The truth is I didn’t dream from the time I was a small child of one day becoming an author nor did I even know I could write. I am a high school dropout…..
