I tried my best to progress Letters to a Future Me, but in all honesty I couldn’t. The idea had developed, I knew I wanted to begin each chapter with a certain event going on in the girls’ lives, with the first one being Brooke’s wedding. Each word that I tried to write felt forced and contrived and in my
Read moreI decided for NaNoWrimo to write an epistolary novel (diaries, letters) because I have always loved the form. I still love John Marsden’s Letters from the Inside and So Much to Tell You to this day. Cecelia Ahern’s Where Rainbows End is one of my favourite books. I wrote a mini-thesis on James Patterson’s Suzanne’s Diary for Nicholas and Sam’s
Read moreThese are flow charts I drew when I was trying to come with a question/hypothesis for a journalism mini-thesis, in my final year of university study two years ago. I knew I wanted to write about objectivity, but it’s such a broad topic in journalism, I knew I had to find something specific to focus on and after extensive research,

Read moreThis episode for me revolved around the theme of things not appearing as they seem. You could argue this is what the whole show is about as it is a crime/thriller, but with this episode it was more noticeable. Claire appears to be a pen pusher but turns out to be a former spy, Aaron appears to be a heartless
Read moreThis episode focused more on Hugh’s family–his actual family and his hospital family. With Hugh’s family it was obvious that the aftermath of Charlie’s ectopic pregnancy was going to be explored. Both Matt and Charlie are grieving in their own ways–avoiding each other–it’s a little cliche for them to avoid each other for their inevitable chat at the end of
Read moreThis episode was absolutely spectacular. This episode again started in media res, I said it last week and I’ll say it again, this is really getting old, unless every chapter in the novel started this way, I don’t understand why it’s necessary. Lily is finally given the chance to run the show and from there the can of worms are
Read moreThe opening of this episode was hilarious with Lily being forced to endure the excessively loud sex sounds apparently made by Simone and Jack, which she uniquely calls “sex terrorism”. However it was ruined for me when it was revealed that the writers were yet again using in media res. This is really getting old, to the point that I
Read moreJamie describes the whole family situation to Billie as “a bit of a rollercoaster”, to me that quote sums up the whole episode. This episode kicks off on an emotional note with Billie breaking down over the shock of being told that her DNA matched Jack’s and that she is a Norton. The question that Billie keeps asking herself is
Read moreThis episode was a little flat for me. The pilot established the characters and circumstances, as it should, however the second episode is supposed to set things into motion, it did this, however it didn’t seem to contain any enthusiasm in its execution. The beginning of the episode emphasised how much of an outsider Billie is in the family, as
