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.


Sorry it's been so long! I totally failed the A to Z challenge, which was entirely my fault because I didn't write my posts beforehand and then work got really busy and I just lost track of things! Anyway, I'm here now and I'm back in the blogging world, which is great.

Here's what I'm celebrating this week:

- After today's shift I have a wonderful 9 days off work, which I'm looking forward to very much. 

- I just started watching Charmed over the last week, and I love it. It's nice to have a new series to watch, one that I haven't seen about 10 times before like all the rest of my favourite series'. 

- I watched the new Avengers movie last week, and I loved it! It wasn't as good as the first, but then that was never going to happen, was it?

- Being back in the blogging world! I've missed it.

    Welcome back. Those 9 days off sound great. I saw the Avengers film last weekend - I enjoyed it too, there were brilliant one-liners in there!

    Welcome back, Laura. Make sure you enjoy every minute of your holiday. I saw the new Avengers last week too, and really loved it. I'm trying to decided which is my favourite Avenger, but it's proving a trick task!

    Good to see you back. I was enjoying your A-Z's so I was disappointed when you disappeared off the radar. You've got nearly a year to get ready for the 2016 challenge!

    Welcome back to blogging, Laura. As Alex said, you have time to catch up on your A-Z, since you don't have that many letters left. I say go for it. Glad you enjoyed the Avengers movie.

    Have a great day. Eva

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...
