Goals for February

Since I haven't done a "goals" post for so long (since November!) I'm just going to start fresh. My goals for February are:

- Finish reading the Harry Potter series - I'm on Half Blood Prince now, so this is definitely a do-able goal. Then I can start reading the many books I have waiting for me.

- Continue with my NaNo edits - I haven't worked on these for a long time, but I'm looking forward to getting back into them.

- Plan for the A to Z Challenge - I know what I'm going to be doing for the A to Z challenge, but I still nee to assign topics to letters and actually write the posts. Hopefully I'll get started on that this month.


Nothing too big, since I'm still easing myself back in!

    Once I start reading Harry Potter, I can't stop. When I was ill a few years ago, I got through the whole series in a week! Good luck with the A-Z. I'm considering it, but really not sure if I can devote the time.

    Glad you're on board with the Challenge. Start planning now so you don't have to scramble last minute.

    A good idea to check out those goals now. 11 months left to reach the ones you set for 2015. Glad to see you onboard for the challenge again.

    It's good to have something to aim for. The best thing about self-imposed deadlines, however, is that they can be moved. Gently does it, Laura.

    Ah yes the curse of the A to Z I will be doing it as I have already committed myself to helping again. I am hoping to do the A to Z of completely made up Obscure Victorian Inventors. . . .

    Good Luck with your plans, I hope the house move has settled and you are all chilled in your home.

    What a coincidence! Today I bought Half Blood Prince at a thrift store. :D

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

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
