Goals for March

A bit late in the month for a goals post, I know, but better late than never!

Here are my February goals:

- Finish reading the Harry Potter series - Done! I loved the re-read, like always, but it's nice to be able to read books I haven't read before.

- Continue with my NaNo edits - I've done a little bit of work on these, including improving my scene list to make it easier to do the edits. 

- Plan for the A to Z Challenge - I have words for each letter now, I just need to write the posts! 



And here are my goals for March:

- Read 4 books - This should be pretty easy, since I've read two since finishing Harry Potter last week. It really is so nice to read something new again! 

- Write all of my A to Z posts - This is the goal I'm most worried about this month, since I've left it a bit late to start writing the posts, but I'm determined to get it done before the A to Z starts in April. 

- Revise 3 chapters of my NaNo novel - I'm aiming low for this one in the hopes that it will make it easier for me to achieve.

    Get on those Challenge posts! At least they don't have to be very long.

    Your goals sound manageable. And yes, brevity is key for the A-Z!

    I know you'll get it done. That dragon badge matches your color scheme perfectly.

    Good for you with the goals for February and the new goals for March :) If you break down the A/Z entries and do a few at a time, you'll have them done in no time :)

    I'd knock out the A-Z first. You've got it worked out though. Congratulations on February!

    Sounds ambitious. But it's amazing how much we can do when we set our minds to it. See you in the A-Z!

    Good luck with the A to Z Miss Laura. . . You can always do what I do and shut your eyes and type gibberish. . . . I find it very effective

    I've got the same goal for March to write my Challenge posts and I am falling behind! Hopefully I can just get going and do it the last few weeks.

    You did really well on your goals for February.

    Good luck with the March goals, especially the A to Z Challenge posts. I really need to get a start on mine as well!

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...
