Upcoming Blogfests!

So the blogfests that I've decided to join are mounting up, so I thought I'd do a post about them all! This is the first time I've scheduled a post, so I hope it publishes alright!


The first is the Lunar Lovin' Hop hosted by Mina Lobo from Some Dark Romantic. I love the idea of this blog fest, all you need to do is take a picture of the moon on Sunday night (the 27th) and then post the picture up on Monday (the 28th); simple! I love full moons, so I think I'll enjoy this one, assuming I remember to take a picture!


The next is the Re-introduce Myself Blogfest, hosted by Mark Koopmans, Elise Fallson, and C.M. Brown, and Stephen Tremp, also on Monday the 28th of January. For this one, the idea is to re-introduce yourself to all of the followers you've gained who may not know much about you. 


Celebrate the Small Things is a new weekly meme being hosted by Viklit over at Scribblings of an Aspiring Author. All you need to do is put up a post every Friday to celebrate something you've achieved during the week. I think this is a great idea, because there is always something to celebrate! Unfortunately because of my busy weekend, I didn't get to participate last Friday, but I certainly will be from now on!


And of course, the A to Z challenge is back for another year! I participated in this challenge last year for the first time, and I can't wait for this years! I have a couple of theme ideas up my sleeve, but nothing concrete yet. I'm hoping to write my posts in advance this time, to make it a little easier!

    Can't believe I am in all of them. No wonder why the WiP is not getting anywhere. But they are all fun!

      They do kind of stop other kinds of writing, but they're a lot of fun!

    Interesting looking blogfests, I might sign up for some, if not all, of them. I'm already counting down the days until the A-Z challenge.

    I will be back doing the A to Z this year. And will be back using as many A words B words C words and so on all the way to Z, much as I did last year. My big mistake last year was doing it twice, once in March then again in April. It has been suggested by one of my loyal followers that I consider writing a fairly tale for each day as the theme so why not it sounds like a good idea.

    I know you did reviews of fairy tales, stories and characters last year, which is when I started following. It just goes to show time does fly. I will just stick with the one blogfest as it is tricky enough posting every day as it is, so added complications are not needed but good luck with them all.

      Ooh that sounds like a good idea, I do like your fairy tales!
      It really does fly, I can't believe I've been blogging for almost a year!

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...

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...
