What's Up Wednesday

What’s Up Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Erin L Funk and Jaime Morrow, and the idea is to let other bloggers know where you are with any writing and reading goals you may have.




1. What I'm reading

I didn't get to post last Wednesday because I was busy shopping with my mum, and I completely forgot to post. Oops! Since the last time I posted for this meme, I've finished reading A Witch Alone by Ruth Warburton, which I didn't really enjoy; the series just got worse as I went along, and by the end I was glad I didn't have to read any more. I also read Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell, which I loved; it's the first book written by her which I've read, and I'll definitely be reading more. 

I'm currently reading A Clash of Kings by George R. R. Martin (still) and Cinder by Marissa Meyer - another one I'm loving!

2. What I'm writing

I'm still working on edits for Hunted, my NaNo novel. I haven't been able to work on it much this week, but I've done a few scenes, and that's better than nothing. I've also been working on some short story ideas for Camp NaNo next month - I've got quite a list now!

3. What else I've been up to

I've been working 6 days a week at work so not much other than that. I finally finished watching Breaking Bad with my mum - I loved the ending! So good. We're kind of sad now, because we've finished watching Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones isn't on any more either - what are we going to watch? I'm sure we'll come up with something :)

I didn't get to see my dad on Sunday for Father's Day since I was working, and I live an hour away from him now, so I've made plans with my sister; we're going to cook him a meal at her house tonight, which should be fun.

4. What inspires me right now

Getting stuff done, and being organised. It can make such a difference!

    I loved CINDER, I'm glad you're enjoying it.

    I need to find something else to replace GoT now it's over!

    Being organised does make a difference! Have a great week! :)

    I tried to watch Breaking Bad...it started to get too violent for me. I did make it through Season 1, though, which is impressive for a show that has violence in it for me.

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...
