Goals for April

So I didn't achieve any of my goals for March, even though there were only two! I just had a really busy month.


My goals from March were:

- Read 4 books - I've been in a bit of a reading rut last month, but hopefully that will change this month!

- Plan my A to Z posts - I didn't even get one post planned, which is terrible! This is the first year since I started blogging that I'm not taking part in the challenge, but I'm definitely going to be doing it next year. 


OK, so here are my goals for April:

- Read 4 books - I need to do this this month, I'm already two books behind schedule on my Goodreads challenge!

- Check out some A to Z blogs - I haven't had chance to see what everyone's come up with this year yet; I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's posts. 

- Do some writing - I didn't get any done last month, because of how busy I was, but I'm determined to do some this month. Whether it's working on my WIP or starting a new project, I will definitely do some writing this month!

    We all have times in life when time is very limited, as long as you are happy then do what you can.

    I am winging it day by day for this year's A to Z Challenge. I too had planned to do my posts early but didn't. Fortunately I already had my theme ready and a list alphabetically of all the movies I'd be doing. So all I have to do daily is create the posts and fill in my thoughts. Sorry you were too busy to take part this year but same with me last year. All the best.

    I wasn't ready for A to Z either, so I bowed out for this year. Good luck with your April goals!

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...
