An english female who gets far too excited about package tea bags (or excited the right amount.) Deep admirer of all things rum and pirates. Answers to the name of Elizabeth, Liz, Lizbef, Miss England, Earle, Your Majesty (still working on that one) or "anyone want a rum?" I grew up with fantasy books and became saddened at the age of 13 when I found out the world map was not half of the world but the whole god damn thing. I attempted the grown up 9-5 and found it draining my soul, little by little. Author of six books, I knew that writing adventures for my characters wasn't enough- I had to experience one too. And maybe not just one. Maybe my life should be an adventure. So I quit my job, sold my possessions, and here I am. Living my own adventure. Drink up, me hearties, yo ho!

She stepped out of the taxi, regretting the jacket she had thrown on. Warm air hit her face as she shut the door, giving the driver a small wave as thanks. Her heart pounding, she took a step towards the harbour. She had been there two years before, under much different circumstances. Stepping onto the … Read moreOne. Two. Three.

Ready

March 28, 2017October 3, 2016 by Lizbef

I feel anxious, excited and exhausted. Like too many waves have crashed over me. I feel worn, tired and out of breath. The feeling comes and goes and I think of the future. I think of my opportunities. I think of all the possibilities that lie before me and the people that matter. For a … Read moreReady

So, a lot has happened. I always seem to open up with that. But some amazing things have taken place. Everything I was scared looking back on are no longer scary to reminisce about. I think that’s probably the beauty about time. It’s like a huge sigh of relief has come over me, and whatever … Read moreMountains

This moment, she thought. This moment is good. She had had a lot of these small moments- these moments of contentment. She turned to the guy again, not patiently but blankly more than anything. She didn’t care what he was saying. She had already made up her mind about him. A couple of years younger … Read moreMoments

I’ll be honest. I’m not too sure what’s happening in my life. I feel as though I’m just searching for the next distraction. I’m restless. I had a plan before- a direction. I had a contentment and peace that wrapped around me like a security blanket. That’s gone now. And I’m left with so many … Read moreOrange Juice

Zest

March 29, 2017July 3, 2016 by Lizbef

I always end up saying the same thing in the end. About not knowing what direction I’m going in. I think back to calmer times, when I had a direction. I remember thinking so surely about what I wanted. I had a direct route. I knew what I wanted to achieve. I was stable, steady … Read moreZest

Corners

March 29, 2017June 16, 2016 by Lizbef

I feel as though I’ve accomplished so much in the past four years. It has taken me a long while to actually view my self-worth. I’ve been so used to putting myself at the bottom of the pile that I haven’t known how to deal with putting myself first. I’ve been forced to do that … Read moreCorners
