Things I'm looking forward to!

Today I thought I'd write a post about the things I'm looking forward to, as there are quite a few in the next few months!

First, I want to say thanks to L. G. Keltner for awarding me the Fabulous Blog Ribbon and the Be Inspired award. Thanks!
Now for the things I'm looking forward to:

1. Going to Centerparcs in September with my mum and sister, it'll be nice to get away for a while and spend some time with them. We can't afford to do a lot of the activities and things, but it'll be a nice time to relax and at least the pool is free!

2. Going to Bruges in November for the Christmas market with my mum and sister - I absolutely love Christmas so I can't wait for this, we'll only be going for a couple of days with a group of people from work, but apparently there's ice skating and everything so it should be lots of fun.

3. The Sims 3 Supernatural comes out in September, and I can't wait to play it! It sounds really good, and should give me a nice chance to relax after Camp NaNo.

4. Yet another Sims 3 expansion is coming out in November; The Sims 3 Seasons, which I absolutely can't wait for because the Seasons expansion was my favourite in the Sims 2 games. I love watching my little sims play in the weather! :)

So there are the things I'm looking forward to in the next few months, besides the usual things like Winter and Christmas!

    Christmas I think it is just a bit early yet to discuss Christmas...... Although having said that I did wish someone a Happy Christmas on Facebook the other day. I thought it would be nice to get in first.

      Yeah, I think I'll be spending the whole of September just relaxing on Supernatural! A good reward, I think :)
      I'm getting on well, writing at least the limit each day so I'm keeping up so far :)

    This is a lovely post :) Sounds like you have lots of happy times to look forward to :D I've never really played Sims but I'm feeling pretty tempted! Maybe I should get uni out of the way first or I'll be in trouble!

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...
