Goals for November

Another busy month, work-wise, so I didn't quite manage to achieve all of my goals, again!


These were my goals for October:

- Read 3 books - This one I managed, just!


- Take part in the four blogfests I've signed up for - I half achieved this one. I took part in two of the blogfests, but not the other two because I ran out of time to write the stories. Hopefully I'll get more writing done this month. 



Here are my goals for November: 

- Read 3 books - I should manage this without too much trouble. I love to read too much not to! 

- Start Christmas shopping - I really need to start, I haven't bought any presents yet. I do have plans for presents though, which is good! 

- Resume work on last years NaNo edits - I've missed writing, and I'm determined to start writing regularly again.

    Sounds like a good plan. I've started a small bit of Christmas shopping. With my kids being older now, it doesn't take a lot of planning ahead of time.
    Good luck with those goals.

    There's one more pay day before Christmas - need to get a wiggle on. Good luck with your targets.

    I like that you're working on last year's NaNo edits rather than jumping into a brand new NaNo. That's smart thinking. Good luck!

    My only goals are completing two Nano Projects, work on The Missing Girls website for my verse novella series, keep up with my freelance work and do the happy dance when my tablet arrives. Lofty huh? Best of luck with your own goals Laura especially with rewriting/editing.

    Good luck reaching your goals! I'm sure you can do it. Don't even talk about Christmas shopping. Isn't it still July or something? No? It should be!

    I haven't even started thinking about Christmas shopping. I should probably start that.

    Good luck with your Christmas shopping! I was determined to be organised this year and I've nearly finished all my main gifts but I'm saving some of it for when all the shops have got their Christmas music and decorations in. I love the atmosphere in the run up to Christmas.

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...
