Here's a random list - my top five names for girls. As writers, we are always thinking of names, deciding what name suits certain characters, and finding new names we fall in love with. And while favourite names often change, there are some that usually stick.

So here's my list of top five girls names.

I have always loved to dance and have been attending dance class since I was ten. I loved participating in dance performances at school and even studied dance during my high school junior years. However, I have probably danced more as an adult when the responsibility was all mine - I didn't have my parents saying 'no it's too expensive' and was able to get myself to class. 

I have not tried every dance style out there, but these are my top five dance styles.

Writing is an individual creative process and different for everyone. Some writers need the quiet and private spaces of their offices to write while other's thrive on being out and about in the community and writing in coffee shops tends to be quite popular.

For myself, this process has changed over time. Once, I was quite content writing in the classroom instead of doing my math or English or science work. Then I could happily write at home in my room while watching TV. Then I became a in my room/office with total silence (except maybe classical music) person. But lately, home isn't my favourite place to write either and I've branched out. So these are just some of my favourite places, overall, to write.

New York City was my first holiday overseas as an adult. I was drawn to New York firstly because of Broadway and secondly, because of the famous sites there that I've always seen in the movies. I visited in the winter and therefore didn't spend much time in Central Park, but the best thing was I got to enjoy visiting these sites without the very long lines!

I had a friend in high school who was involved in theatre and introduced me to the world of musicals. After books, musicals are my favourite form of storytelling as there is no better way to express a story than through song.
I indulged in my love for musicals by visiting Broadway and spending every night of my three week trip to London at the theatre. I also love attending the local theatre and seeing musicals that are playing when I visit Brisbane and Sydney.
I also love musical movies, but this list is based on the stage versions of musicals.

I am a proud lover of Disney and especially the Disney Princesses. I grew up loving these movies, I sleep with a Disney Princess throw, and collect many Disney Princess homewares. A photo of me and Snow White graces my fridge, an Elsa mat lies on my living room floor, and I attended the 2018 RWA Cocktail Party as Queen Elsa. Disneyland is without a doubt my happy place and I save all my money and suitcase room in order to bring home many princess knicknacks. So this is my list of five favourite Disney princesses.

I love to travel and have already embarked on many holidays to North America, Asia, and Europe. Some of these have already fulfilled some of my dream holidays, such as soaking up Broadway, getting lost at the Grand Canyon, and visiting the historic English sites. I've frozen at Niagara Falls, partied in Las Vegas, and dined at the Eiffel Tower.
However, there is still so much more that the world has to offer. These are some destinations that I'm dying to still visit.
