What's Up Wednesday

What’s Up Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Erin L Funk and Jaime Morrow, and the idea is to let other bloggers know where you are with any writing and reading goals you may have.




1. What I'm reading

I didn't get to post last Wednesday because I was busy shopping with my mum, and I completely forgot to post. Oops! Since the last time I posted for this meme, I've finished reading A Witch Alone by Ruth Warburton, which I didn't really enjoy; the series just got worse as I went along, and by the end I was glad I didn't have to read any more. I also read Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell, which I loved; it's the first book written by her which I've read, and I'll definitely be reading more. 

I'm currently reading A Clash of Kings by George R. R. Martin (still) and Cinder by Marissa Meyer - another one I'm loving!

2. What I'm writing

I'm still working on edits for Hunted, my NaNo novel. I haven't been able to work on it much this week, but I've done a few scenes, and that's better than nothing. I've also been working on some short story ideas for Camp NaNo next month - I've got quite a list now!

3. What else I've been up to

I've been working 6 days a week at work so not much other than that. I finally finished watching Breaking Bad with my mum - I loved the ending! So good. We're kind of sad now, because we've finished watching Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones isn't on any more either - what are we going to watch? I'm sure we'll come up with something :)

I didn't get to see my dad on Sunday for Father's Day since I was working, and I live an hour away from him now, so I've made plans with my sister; we're going to cook him a meal at her house tonight, which should be fun.

4. What inspires me right now

Getting stuff done, and being organised. It can make such a difference!

    I loved CINDER, I'm glad you're enjoying it.

    I need to find something else to replace GoT now it's over!

    Being organised does make a difference! Have a great week! :)

    I tried to watch Breaking Bad...it started to get too violent for me. I did make it through Season 1, though, which is impressive for a show that has violence in it for me.

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

IWSG - July 2018

Image
The Insecure Writer's Support Group is a group of writer's who post once a month about their insecurities, and then visit each other to offer help and support. It's been a long time since I last posted, back in April. I really can't believe it's July already; this year so far seems like it's been both really short and really long. There are a few reasons why I've been absent for so long; I've had a few health issues, nothing serious but it's been one illness after another this year. Then I was in a car accident in May, thankfully Jamie and I came out unhurt, but the car spent a month getting repaired. We've also been house hunting this year, we found two houses we really wanted but unfortunately both fell through.  So, overall, it's been a bit of a rough year, and because of this I haven't got much writing done. However, I'm an optimistic person and I'm hopeful that the worst is over, so it's time to get back i

The Beginnings Blogfest!

Today's the day of the Beginning's Blogfest , L. G. Keltner 's first blogfest! I love the idea for this one, and knew what I was going to write about straight away. I want to write about the beginning of my writing journey. A year ago, I had no direction. I had no blog, I didn't write, all I did was work and play games. I had no motivation because I didn't know what I wanted to do. I had wanted to be a teacher, but after two failed PGCE interviews I was losing faith in the idea - maybe teaching wasn't what I was supposed to be doing. Then, last January, an idea struck me, seemingly out of nowhere. What if I tried to get into Journalism? I was good at writing, spelling, and editing, and I thought I would enjoy it. So I looked into it, and decided that it sounded like something I would want to do. I got some work experience at a volunteer magazine, writing articles for them, and most importantly, I started my blog. I thought it would be a good way to prac
