Celebrate the Small Things

Celebrate the Small Things is a weekly bloghop now hosted by Lexa Cain. The idea is to post anything you want to celebrate from the last week, no matter how small.


This week I'm celebrating: 

- The weather's been lovely this week, I think Spring might be on its way! I love winter, but I'm looking forward to some warmer weather. 

- Krispy Kreme doughnuts. My mum bought a twelve pack on Tuesday, and they've been demolished. They're so good! I particularly like the glazed raspberry ones. 

- I only have six days at work then I'm on holiday for a week. Can't wait!

      As far as I'm aware Dunkin Donuts hasn't made it over here yet, but we do have Krispy Kreme, which I'm very happy about!

    Have fun on your holiday, Laura! We used to have Krispy Kreme here. It was so busy at first, they had to hire cops to control the traffic! But now, it''s closed so I'm sure many people miss it.
    Have a great weekend.

    We've had warmer temperatures here too - up in the 80s. Ugh. I need a bit more winter before things start heating up. Yay for Krispy Kremes and for a holiday from work! I hope you have a fabulous time! :)

    Oh yes, there is a Krispy Kreme shop off the motorway near Glasgow... mmm!

    Still snow, sleet and hail up in Scotland.

    Enjoy your break!

    Not a fan of jam, so unless there's a cream centred one, donuts are out. It's brightening up here, but still icy cold on the extremities. Brrr!

    Have a great week off!


    Have a great weekend :)

    Happy holiday to you. No signs of spring yet for us and I haven't had a Krispy Kreme for years but I wouldn't mind having one every day.

    Upcoming holidays are always worth celebrating. So are Krispy Kreme donuts. I'd actually forgotten about them until you mentioned them and now I'm craving one. Will have to go overseas again soon...

    Good for you on having the upcoming days off. Enjoy them. Krispy Kremes are among my favorites.

    Glazed raspberry doughnuts would have been great with my chocolate cake and ice cream. Call me next time... we'll do dessert! Enjoy your vacation, Laura!

    Lucky - I wish it were warmer where I live! It's been so cold.

    Doughnuts definitely sounds like a good reason to celebrate! :)

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...
