👉@thehatterandthehare.au_ 👈 A few months ago, we went to Hatter and the Hare after seeing the share platter on a friend's IG, so of course we had to give it a try. It was such a fun dish - I mean, look at all the color and textures. It's total sensory overload but I love it 😍 Can't wait to go back this weekend for a delayed mother's day lunch ✨🌹 =================================== Follow my writing journey @karleinkwong_fantasywriter ⚔️ .

👉@saycheesecakeau 👈 A new asian grocery store opened near me and they stocked cakes from Say Cheese. I bought the taro, cream cheese sponge cake with glutinous rice and omg it's so good. It's quite light, not overly sweet or rich, and I like the play on texture between the soft sponge and the chewy glutinous rice. Rainy saturday's with this cake and coffee treat plus book editing = perfection 🙌✨ =================================== Follow my writing journey @karleinkwong_fantasywriter Checkout my travels around Melbourne at @Flabnbone =================================== . . . . . . . . . . . . #onthetable #tarocake #flatlaystyle #asiancakes #creamcheese #taroflavor #foodphotography #melbfood #cakeandcoffee #foodlovers #saturdayvibes #melbournefoodlovers #melbournedessert #melbournefoodie #cakesofinstagram #foodlove #foodiemelb #melbournefoodscene #flatlaylove #matcha #melbourneeats #matchacake #melbournecoffee #zomato #zomatoaus #foodstagram #foodspotting #eatmelbourne #cakeandcoffeetime #cakesofinstagram (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdPoOc4r74R/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🌏 King's Canyon🌏 . What a week! ✨ I ordered 7 or 8 fantasy books and two arrived last night. I'm happily reading "Shield and Sorrow" by J.E Ridge - "To Save a Kingdom, they must steal a King" ➡️ I absolutely love that tagline and it's so clever! ✨In terms of writing, I've happily typed up 94k words into book 2 (at this rate, it's gonna soar way above my 100k limit 😎). ✨ Yesterday, I did a crazy edit of my submission package. Now the partial request is off with the agent and out there in the universe (fingers and toes crossed the stars align ✨⭐ ⚔️) . Photo throwback| One of my favorite photos taken at King's Canyon and completely unexpected too - having the sun just behind the trees. .

🌏Toorongo Falls🌎 . My computer tells me I took this photo in 2017. Has it really been 4 years? Where did the time go 😅 Just the other day, I was talking to a friend about lockdown and the lack of road trips for photos the last two years, and he said I must be devestated since I love being on the road and taking photos of things I see along the way. It was a surprise that I actually didn't feel devestated. Ever since lockdown started and the whole WFH thing, book writing and editing has taken up all my non-work hours. You wouldn't believe it but it actually takes me an hour just to write a paragraph sometimes 😅. On that note, let's celebrate hitting the 75k mark for book 2 🌠🎉 Im three-quarters of the way there ✨🙈 Wooo weekend is here - stay home stay safe ppl ❤️ =================================== Check out my writing journey @karleinkwong_fantasywriter ⚔️ =================================== For Food & Flatlays @Flabnbone_food 🍱 =================================== . . . . . . . . . . . #visitvictoria #visitmelbourne #visitgippsland #seeaustralia #waterfall #tv_australia #livethecapture #ig_australia #igersmelbourne #wonderlustmelbourne #destinationearth #focusaustralia #melbournetouristguide #australiagram #cruising_australia #exploringaustralia #living_australia #wow_australia2021 #1more_australia #ulimited_australia #icu_australia #melbourne_insta #aussiephotos #wandervictoria #loves_united_australia #pocket_australia #ourplanetdaily #australia_shotz #icu_aussies (at Toorongo Falls) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTEmIc8nx2c/?utm_medium=tumblr

Writing update: Book 1 Days of Destiny - developmental and line edits are done ✅✅ Book 2 Days of Dominion - currently on 65k words (omg I can't believe I actually managed to write that much. Hopefully by the end of the year, it will be finished 💪). Book 3 Days of Darkness - inspiration hit and I wrote the final few sentences of the book today despite having committed 0k words to the story. I really want to talk about the ending line but...spoilers (so far my mum is the only person who knows ) ❤️ .
