What's Your Chocolate? Blogfest!

So, I have yet to finish the book I'm reading so I won't be reviewing it today. Instead, I've decided to participate in a blogfest that I've seen floating around the blogosphere today, the What's Your Chocolate? Blogfest.
All I have to do is: "Post about your favourite chocolate – what it means to you, where and when you indulge, a favourite memory – anything chocolate-related."

Cadbury chocolate is my usual go-to chocolate whenever I fancy some; I love Twirl bars and Caramel Dairy Milks, yum! I also love Creme Eggs in Easter.

Terry's Chocolate Orange has to go on my list; I don't have it very often, but when I do I'm in Heaven! Whoever thought of putting chocolate and orange together was a genius.

If I want a bit of a treat I'll buy myself a bar of dark chocolate (I like Lindt 85%, just finished off a bar last night, it was delicious!)

As a gift, I love getting a box of Thorntons Continental Chocolates, they're my favourites. Just thinking about all the lovely flavours is making my mouth water...
So there you have it, my favourite types of chocolate. I hope I've made you all as hungry as I am right now! :)

    The chocolate orange looks amazing. I had one a couple years ago, and it made my day. Unfortunately they're hard to find where I live. And I share your love of dark chocolate! Great stuff.

    Some of those chocolates are new to me, but I do think I've seen a chocolate orange before. My fave is Dark Chocolate, and I like Lindt, too.

    Good luck with your decisions!

    The name Thorntons has popped up quite a few times now...
    Within the last 24 hours, judging from the comments during this Choccylicious blog hop, I wonder how many chocolate-related "good intentions" have gone out the window? LOL

    When I was Romania I bought a bunch of chocolate and it was soooo good. My favourite was Lindt mint-lemon. I thought the combo sounded gross but it ended up being so very tasty.

WEP August - Change of Heart

Image
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
