Your Normal Is My Scary: 1 – An Eye Test

Rebecca Milton 14th January, 2019

It’s 9.32am, and I am walking out of the house. It’s cold, but not quite enough to need gloves. I’m a little bit jumpy, because I’m about to go and do something intimidating. Is it a job interview? An exam? No, it’s much more mundane. It’s an eye test. The …

My plans for 2019 and the blog!

Rebecca Milton 7th January, 2019

2018 saw a huge amount of growth for this little corner of the internet. Lots of successes, some failures too, but there’s no question that it’s now miles ahead of what it was when the year began. The most impressive thing about that? I didn’t really plan any of it. …

Museum Adventure #1

Rebecca Milton 4th January, 2019

It’s 1pm on a windy December day. Our heroine – spoilers, that’s me – has just trekked two hours into central London. The bridge was so frigid that her hands are freezing, because for some reason she decided to take her gloves out of her handbag this morning. And, at …

2018 Year In Review

Rebecca Milton 21st December, 2018

At the beginning of 2018, I set myself some year-long goals. I’ve made almost half of them – and that’s almost entirely goals I made for work. Whether that’s this blog, Patreon, or other forms of content I make. It’s been a pretty amazing second year of doing this weird …

Finding Inspiration in Variety

Rebecca Milton 14th December, 2018

I listen to a few different podcasts these days. One of them is Felicia Day’s podcast (still allegedly in beta – it’s really good though). In her recent episode, she mentioned something about how to get inspiration as a writer. Specifically that: to write what you know, you need to …

Your Normal Is My Scary: 2 – Bra Fitting

Rebecca Milton 15th February, 2019

I’ve always had a difficult relationship with clothing. It’s partly, perhaps even primarily, tied to my anxiety over money. But it’s also the fact that, well, our world isn’t the best to women who aren’t the “standard” size or shape. Which in the UK is about 3 sizes and nothing …

IRL, and the importance of our pixelated lives

Rebecca Milton 11th February, 2019

I got onto the internet at a very young age. My father, a software developer, would hand down no-longer-sufficient computers to my brothers and I. We always had the highest speed internet despite living in the countryside. And so, as I grew older and more inclined towards anxiety, I spent …

Letter to the Weary

Rebecca Milton 8th February, 2019

I’m writing this for my future self – she’s going to need it, at some point. I thought you might like it as well. Save it, write your own, do whatever you need with this bit of care for your future self. Dear you, This is for a terrible day. Not the most terrible of days; not the ones where your soul has been peeled from your body and scraped across the mountain of your sorrows. For the days that are terrible, unexpectedly so, because everything just became a bit too …

The Voices of Silent Things

Rebecca Milton 6th February, 2019

This is the piece that I submitted as my primary writing sample for university. It’s the background for a character in the Invisible Sun world – her life in Shadow – though you don’t need to know the setting to appreciate it. I really hope you like it. When I was a child, in the life that was not a real life, I often wondered what the silent voices of the world sounded like. What curses did my grandmother’s chair let out when she sank into it? If my father chopped …

The Great University Adventure: It’s Happening

Rebecca Milton 4th February, 2019

Last year, I talked about my plans to apply for a MA in Creative Writing at my local university. For me, this isn’t just the chance to study the thing I love. It’s the culmination of the redemption that my recovery from severe depression has given me. It’s me regaining …

I do things in isolation too much

Rebecca Milton 1st February, 2019

We’re continuing today with a week of reflecting on my own qualities that need improvement. Today’s one is a single point, but one that pervades almost every corner of my life. And, perhaps not surprisingly, it’s this: I spend too much time doing things in isolation. This might seem an …

Should I be talking about mental illness so much? – a response to The Financial Diet

Rebecca Milton 28th January, 2019

This week, I want to do something a bit different. We’re nearing the end of get organised month, and there’s a part of progressing that I have always, always ignored: facing my negative characteristics. Things I’m doing wrong. Things that are fundamental about me that need to change. Last week, …

Bullet Journal Fatigue Is Real

Rebecca Milton 25th January, 2019

I have kept a bullet journal for a couple of years now, and I have absolutely adored it. It’s made me more creative, helped me get organised, and helped me truly appreciate just how much I do manage to do – even on days where it feels like I have …
