Sod's Law

I've had a pretty good first couple of days off work, apart from the fact that I've managed to catch a cold! It's sod's law that it only manifested itself after work on Monday, appearing fully on Tuesday morning, my first full day off! I'd really rather have had it when I was at work, then at least I'd have something to distract myself from it. It's one of those annoying colds that blocks your sinuses and makes your whole head hurt. Oh well, it could be much worse. :)
On another note, I heard from one of my uni friends last night and she's suggested we meet up on Thursday evening, which has made me incredibly happy as I really miss my uni friends, I hardly ever get to see them now that we've all graduated, because we all live in different places now. It's also difficult to find a day that we can all actually meet up, because we all work different days. So I'm really looking forward to tomorrow night, I can't wait to have a really big catch up!
I'm having a very lazy day today, sat playing The Sims 3 even though there are far more important things I could be doing! Oh well, I'll get round to them! :)

    I have been bugged with allergies and can't believe I have spring flowers that have been coming out since before Valentines Day. LOL on the SIMs. I love the SIM's. : ) I haven't been able to play bcuz my desk top needs work and it doesn't load to my lap top correctly.

      I prefer the Sims 2, because it runs better on my computer, but I like some of the features on the Sims 3 better, so I'll play through all the bugs for them. :)

    P.S I highly recommend getting rid of the word verification gadget. You'll get a LOT more comments. It's gotten so much harder to decipher those words, that many of us co-hosts have to try two or three times to get accepted. I guarantee that not everyone has that patience. If you don't know how to do it, then keep reading the A-Z. It's going to be in a post there. Meanwhile, go play with your comment settings and see if you can figure it out. Of course, the choice is your since this is your blog and you can run it as you see fit. Just want you to have as many comments as possible.

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...
