Well hello there! Happy 2018!

If you’ve followed along with my life on my other forms of social media, then you’ll know that I’ve had an incredibly busy last long while. Real life came first with work and family,  and all of that essentially ate my brain.

While my absence was borne out of necessity, it also unfortunately killed my creative outlets beyond my Instagram which, to be honest, was complete bummer! I’m at my creative best when I have writing and photography together tied in with all my other passions: fandom, food, travel, music, makeup… and everything in between, and the last eighteen or so months had that stifled. Well, it’s a new year and mostly-the-same-but-better-me has decided to take the reins and bring that back to life.

I’m delighted to let you know that The Shortcrust is back in action and it’s also going to be updated regularly. We’re talking multiple times a week! I already have the entirety of January scheduled, with more to come.

Next weekend, I’m flying out to Portland for my birthday which happens to coincide with Walker Stalk Con / Heroes & Villains Fan Fest. I’m incredibly stoked for that and will be featuring plenty of posts connected to it – from tips on how to pack and how to prepare for a convention to hotel and restaurant reviews and plenty of fandom fun in between!

So for now, I hope you have an amazing day (or night, wherever you are) – and I’ll see you back here on Friday!
