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:

- I've done some planning for Camp NaNo this week - I'm still not 100% sure whether I'll be doing it, it really depends on how much planning I get done. It's nice just to be writing again! 

- Heroes - I started watching it from the beginning again yesterday, and I forgot how good it was! It gets pretty crappy after the first couple of seasons, but it's great until then. 

- I went for a walk with Jamie (the boyfriend) yesterday, which was fun - we got a little lost but we found some swings and indulged our inner children!

    Nothing like getting lost on a walk to have fun.

    Some of the best memories I have come from when my husband and I got a little lost. This was back when we were first dating and did more adventurous things. Good times. Have a great weekend!

    We all need to stay in touch with our inner child! It's good to hear you are enjoying your writing again.

    I also liked Heroes in the beginning. I can't believe that they choose such stupid story-lines toward the end. I'm glad you enjoyed your walk with your bf. Good luck with NaNo, and have a great weekend!

    Swings are so much fun!
    I liked the beginning of Heroes, too, and didn't like the ending much.

    Swings were always my favourite. I can't remember the last time I went on one!

    I used to love swings but they make me sick to my stomach now whenever I get on one. Maybe it's nature's way of telling me I'm too old for swings….

    It's the perfect time of year here to take walks. Unfortunately no swing sets around here, but the getting lost part is almost as fun. Cheers to writing! As long as you're doing it, it doesn't matter how it happens.

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...
