Goals for May

I didn't do a "Goals" post for April, since I knew I'd be so busy with the A to Z challenge - and I was right! I'm glad I didn't set myself any goals.

Here are my goals for May:

- Start revisions on my Nano novel - I've been wanting to get started on these for months now, but I just haven't had the time. Now that the A to Z is over, I shouldn't have any trouble getting started with these.

- Read 6 books - I'm two books behind for my Goodreads reading challenge, so I need to get a move on and read more. I'm going on holiday for a week this month, so hopefully I'll get plenty of reading done there.

- Write every day - I haven't been writing much lately at all, so I need to get back into the habit of writing every day.

    Good goals there. Recently my goal has just been to get any writing or editing done - I finished revising my Nano (2012) novel finally, so now onto the next challenge!

    I think most of us didn't set goals for April outside of surviving the Challenge!

    I set my goal for April, which was to visit every blog on the A to Z . . . . Amazingly I did it.

    I have no goals for May as such, but I suspect something will leap out from behind a tree and need to be achieved

    I definitely didn't set any goals for April. Good luck with your May goals, Laura! :)

    Worthy goals. I hope you get a lot of writing done for May! I have two novels to revise, a few to edit for other writers, and a lot of painting to catch up on. I think I'll divide this into a few months. :-)

    I love reading about your goals for the month. I'd better not set any goals for this Month either as I'll be spending half of it at the Cannes Film Festival. But for all the other days, my goal is to write every day as well. Good luck.

    Ah, goals! I need some of those, and more reading for sure. What are you planning on reading this month?

    All commendable goals!

    I've to beef up my reading, too.

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...
