In 2023 and 2024 my partner and I biked our way up and down the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail (BVRT). We couldn’t go last year due to my surgery recovery but we’re excited for returning to the trail this year!

Be silly!

To fight the fear of failure: one must fail!

When I finished the second chapter of The Caves of Steel, I had a lot of … opinions.

Check them out here: hopfieldiswriting.com/2026/02/

Lizard Wizard looking at a copy of Isaac Asimov's "The Caves of Steel" with a "meh" face. The title is "Reading Notes" and the caption reads "Baley has just met up with Daneel and there's an incident going on at a shoe shop."

'Like gems being tumbled,' I whisper to myself, the edge of the sob creasing my words. 'Like gems being tumbled.'

At some point it just has to end, right? Right?! (ᵕ • ᴗ •)

First panel: reaching for a ball that says "finishing another edit".

Second panel: monster holding you back with text that says "still finding mistakes in the next edit"

I'm getting over a bad habit of buying cheap things. It stems from not having a lot growing up. To combat this, I’m trying to develop skills in which I can design and create the fun little things I want in life. Working with polymer clay is next on the list! How well will it go? Let’s find out together.

When I was at uni, “study with me” videos were my best friend. I came to learn that what I benefit from is called “body doubling”. After uni, I found Spirit City, a productivity tool that does the same but also allows a lot of customisation.

If you struggle to focus, give “body doubling” a try. Study With Me videos on YouTube are a good free way to start.

Check out my post on Study With Me (Body Doubling) for some recommendations: shorturl.at/TLefq

I've recently finished The Caves of Steel, and my favourite part of it is Detective Baley getting absolutely humiliated over and over because he is without doubt the worst detective I’ve ever heard of.

Daneel 2. Baley 0.

I complain a little more over here: edaldiswriting.wordpress.com/2

A summary of The Caves of Steel: Baley versus Daneel. 
This is a meme in the format of white lady at dinner table yelling at cat, where the white lady is Baley and the cat is Daneel.

I am currently in the 6th edit/re-write of *Rini & Butler*. It has been a long journey but I think I finally have the story where I want it to be and am ready to let more than one person read it. I’ve just finished Prepuary and Editary is underway! 🎉
