The Kreativ Blogger Award!

I've been given the Kreativ Blogger Award by both Nikki at Inspirenordic and Sabrina at Pouffia, please stop by their blogs!
The reward requires me to divulge 10 random facts about myself, and then pass the award on to 6 other bloggers. Here are my 10 random facts:
1. My newest passion is writing. I've always loved to write, but never really spent much time on it until recently. I write articles for a voluntary magazine, which is very fun, and I've recently bought a little notebook that has already got lots of article, blog and story ideas written down in it. I haven't got around to using my ideas for stories yet, but hopefully I will soon.
2. Dogs are my absolute favourite animals. I love how loyal they are and how they're so lovable! I love how my dog is always happy to see me, and is willing to give cuddles whenever I need them! He's also great company when I'm on my own.
3. My favourite colour is purple, and therefore the colour I chose for my bedroom that I'm redecorating at the minute.
4. Leading on from number 3, I'm currently redecorating my bedroom for the first time since I was about 5! I'm excited to actually have a "grown up" room for the first time in my life, and having a bed that I can get into without having to climb up a ladder!
5. As much as I love Winter, I really want Summer to hurry up and get here, because I'm ready for some warmth ans summer clothes!
6. I started wearing glasses in December and I'm fed up of them already. I'm actually thinking of getting contact lenses, although they always freaked me out before!
7. My all time favourite holiday is in the South of France, because I used to go there a lot when I was little. It's the right temperature, not too hot, and I love the scenery of the Alps. I'll certainly be taking my future children there!
8. I love baking, but I don't get to do it very often. Also, I'm not very good at decorating cakes and things, they usually come out looking a mess but they taste great and that's what matters to me!
9. I'm obsessed with Grey's Anatomy at the minute, but I really dislike the main character.
10. I've wanted to learn the piano since September last year, but haven't got very far. I need to get some motivation to sit down and teach myself!

And now the 6 bloggers I'm passing the award on to:

Jeremy at Geeky Tendencies
Kyra at Write here, Write now
Danielle at Entertaining Interests
Becca at Lost In Thought
Gia at Mayor Gia
And Geeky Daddy
They all have great blogs so go visit them! :)

      Thanks, and you're welcome :) I really really want to learn, but it's kind of hard to when I never sit down to play it! I need to be more hard on myself :)

    Aww shucks! Thanks for passing the blog on to me! I haven't gotten this one yet! Congrats on receiving it yourself. You deserve it.

    My fav color is green but I don't think it would work on my walls.

    You're welcome, and thank you! I think green can look nice when decorating, as long as it's in moderation :)

      Haha yeah I don't mind Mcdreamy! Meredith just annoys me, she just doesn't seem like a very nice character!

      I quite like her, but I think she makes a lot of trouble for herself and that's sort of annoying. I can't wait for the finale but apparently a lot of people are going to die!! Remember that one with the shooting? It was so so scary and horrible! I hope it's not going to be like that!

    I've always maintained that dog owners are great people. It's cat owners you have to worry about.

      Haha! Well in all honesty, we have a cat too, but I prefer the dog! He's friendlier, Smoky only loves me when she wants feeding! :)

    I also compile lots of ideas in a notebook for my writing--I find it takes more courage to actually sit down at the computer and start a story to use them. I also agree that dogs are awesome :)

WEP August - Change of Heart

So I actually wrote this piece for April's WEP, but I was ill so didn't get to post it in the end. I'm quite glad, as it suits this month's theme so much more. Change of Heart ‘Are you ready for this?’ Paul asked. Brian nodded, trying to steady his shaking hands. ‘You’re the only one who can defeat him,’ Molly said. ‘We believe in you.’ She stepped back to join Paul. Brian balled his fists as he looked at the huge stone doors before him. He took a deep breath and pushed them open. Before the doors closed, Brian glimpsed Paul and Molly turn and begin to walk away. It took a moment for his eyes to adjust to the darkness inside. With a whispered word he created light in the palm of his hand, raising it so it would light up the room. It was empty apart from another doorway, much smaller than the first, hidden away in the corner. Brian marched through it and found himself in a large chamber, lit by many flickering candles mounted along the walls. Someone stoo

The Insecure Writer's Support Group was created by Alex J. Cavanaugh as a place where writers can talk about their insecurities once a month, and receive encouragement and support from other writers. It's such an amazing group, it even has its own website now, which you can visit here . This week I'm a co-host! Be sure to go to Alex's page and visit the other people who are co-hosting.  I had such great plans for my writing this month, but not one of them came through. There were three short stories I wanted to get written, and I also wanted to get back to my NaNo edits, but none of that happened. I still have a little time for one of the short stories, though; it's for Kyra Lennon's cat anthology , and it's due Friday! Not much time to do it, but I made a commitment and I will follow through with it!  Even though I haven't got much writing done in the last month (or the couple before that!) I'm not going to let it get me down. I'

A is for Arachne and Arlee!

Before I get to my Greek Mythology part of this post, at the request of Alex J. Cavanaugh  (great idea by the way, Alex!), I'd first like to thank Arlee Bird for coming up with the challenge in the first place. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't be taking part in this amazing experience every year. Thanks, Arlee! This is one of my favourite tales from Greek mythology, so naturally I chose it for my first letter. Arachne was the daughter of a shepherd, and was famous for the beautiful tapestries she weaved. Nymphs would travel from all over to see her work, and to watch her weave. One day, a nymph asked her if her talent was a gift from the goddess Athena. Arachne protested, saying her skill was all her own, and that her weaving was better than Athena's. Athena heard of this, and challenged the girl to a weaving contest. Both sat at their looms and began to weave, nymphs gathering round to watch. Athena weaved a tapestry based on the glories of the gods, showing the
