Once again it is a Friday and once again it is time for another entry in the Flashback Friday series! Today, I'm going to be reviewing one of my favourite movies of 2015 (and possibly of all-time) Disney's  Descendants . For those of you who haven't heard of this (amazing) movie, Descendant's  is a Disney Channel Original Movie that aired in July last year. In the film the son of King "Beast" and Queen Belle is about to ascend the throne and offers the children of villains the chance to attend Auradon prep. Jay, Carlos, Evie and Mal, children of Jafar, Cruella de Vil, Evil Queen and Maleficent head to Auradon with a mission - steal Fairy Godmother's magic wand and beak the villains off the Isle of the Lost where they had been exiled.  Okay, so from the moment I found out this was a movie I was completely onboard. Then I found out Dove Cameron was starring as Mal and Kristen Chenoweth was starring as Maleficent. I knew then and there that I sim...

Okay yes I know that today is not the third Tuesday of the month and believe me when I say I wanted to upload on time, however when I attempted to log into my account Google had a massive freak out because I was trying to log in from a different location. Basically you have Google to blame for the late upload. Damn it Google. Anyway, the reason I was attempting to log in from a different location is because my sister and I spent the past two days in Melbourne! Now let me paint you guys a picture. I have been working basically everyday since Christmas and I was beginning to go a little crazy. Knowing this trip was coming is the only reason I didn't go completely over the edge. I've never been a huge fan of Melbourne for some reason, but this simple overnighter in the city was a great and much needed getaway. Despite the fact we had to get up at 4.30am in order to catch a flight we still had an amazing time. Tuesday was spent shopping and then we navigated our way through Mel...

Hey guys! I hope you've been having better luck with your internet connection than I have. Seriously, this is my third time attempting this blog post. Still you know what they say right? Third time's the charm! Today's blog post is the first entry in my Adventures in Screenwriting  series. Before we get into the bulk of the post I first wanted to tell you guys about my screenwriting challenge for 2016. The challenge is called #oneyearscreenplay  and is fairly straight forward. By December 31st I want to be typing 'The End' at the conclusion of my first feature length screenplay. Well, the first draft anyway. Could be kind of difficult what with uni and my novel writing but I reckon I can make it work. Whew, now that's over we can get started on the fun stuff. Screenwriting. I'm not going to sit here and pretend I know everything there is to know about screenwriting. In fact it's just the opposite. I know barely anything about it. That doesn't mea...

For today’s Flashback Friday I’m giving you a track by track of Taylor Swift’s fifth studio album, 1989 . If you haven’t yet heard Taylor’s new album I’m telling you right now to make a point to do so. The album sees Taylor depart from her country roots and debut a new pop sound which sounds amazing. The new more electrified sound suits Taylor’s voice just as much as country and there isn’t one song on the album I haven’t listened to about a million times since buying it. Still, for those of you who haven’t yet listened to the album (or those of you who have) I’m going to be breaking down the 13 main tracks you get on the album. Of course if you purchased the deluxe edition you would have received three bonus tracks as well as three voice memos of Taylor’s song writing process. 1.      Welcome to New York Not only are we being welcomed to New York in the album’s opening track, we are also being welcomed to Taylor’s new sound. With its catchy tune the song ...

Well, it's only the second post of the year and I've already fallen behind. You can blame it on a great day spent picking strawberries, eating a chocolate fondue and getting my butt kicked at the family feud board game. But that's not what this post is all about, so let's get straight into it! A very warm welcome to everyone out there who has stumbled across my humble blog and is now reading it with surprised curiosity and a hint of hesitation (come on you know it's true). Today's blog post is Volume I of a little series I like to call Confessions Of An Aspiring Author . As the title may suggest I am an aspiring author and these are my recounts of what it's really like to be a struggling writer. Before we get into it too much, I'd first like to tell you about a little challenge I've set myself for 2016. The challenge is called #oneyearnovel , and basically it means by the end of this year I'd like to have a completed first draft of my first e...

Can you believe that it’s already time for my first blog post of 2016? So much has changed for me since I created this blog back in 2014. Instead of attending university to study as journalism, I’m about to begin a course studying to become a High School Drama Teacher, I’m focused on my novel writing and screenwriting and I’ve formed my own youtube channel. That doesn’t stop me from wanting this year to be the best year for this blog. So, without further ado let me welcome you to the second entry in the What’s In My Bookcase? series. Today’s Book: City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare 1.      How did you come to own this book? Truth be told I can’t 100% remember how I came to own this book. I remember seeing that the sixth and final book in the series would be released and I realised that I hadn’t read anything past book three. There started a re-read of the first three books before I read this one and the two to follow. 2.  ...
