My Baffling Brain

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. Here's what I'm celebrating this week: - The story planning is still going well - I have a long way to go before I'm ready to start writing, but I've got tonnes of notes.  - The weather this week has been glorious - lovely and warm and sunny. I'm a winter girl at heart, but I must admit I do like when the weather starts to get warmer.

This week I'm celebrating: - Story planning is still going well - I haven't been this excited about an idea in a long time! Other things are falling by the wayside, though - I still haven't nailed down my A - Z theme, or started on my next piece for WEP.  - I've started teaching myself to play the piano this week - I've always wanted to learn. I started teaching myself a couple of years ago but then I moved, so it got forgotten. Since I've had a lot more free time lately because of my new job, I thought what better time to learn? So I've been watching You-tube videos to try to teach myself. There's nothing like learning a new skill. - I've just changed my blog look for the first time in a good couple of years - let me know what you think! It still needs some work, it wa...

Here's what I'm celebrating this week: - I had a fantastic birthday weekend in York with my mum. We went for a lovely meal on Saturday night and spent far too much money shopping. It was a successful trip; over the last week I've acquired 12 new books (yay!) and I got given a voucher for my birthday for even more books, so I'm a happy girl. - I've been off work this week, which has been nice. It's been my first proper break since I went to Greece last August. - The ideas are still flowing for the story idea I came up with last week.  What are you celebrating this week?

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. Here's what I'm celebrating this week: - Stories, in any shape or form, whether it's anime (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood) , machinima (Red vs Blue), novels, or anything else. There's just nothing better than a good story. I've been getting really sucked into stories lately, and it's just fantastic.  - I had an idea for a novel the other day (probably because of all the amazing stories I've been absorbing) - there's nothing better than when you've had that spark of an idea, and the ideas just keep flowing.  - It's my mum's birthday on Sunday, and mine on Monday, so we're going to York for the weekend, then I've got the week off work. I'm super excited! 

I'm very pleased with how I did on my February goals - two out of three isn't bad at all! - Read 4 books -  I've got so much more time to read now, which is just fantastic. I've also just started listening to audio books on the way to and from work (an hour a day) which is an interesting experience. I do prefer reading books the traditional way, but it is great that I can listen to a story while doing other things. - Put up at least 2 blog posts a week - This one I didn't quite manage, although I think I did pretty well! I let myself down last week, as I didn't post anything at all - I completely missed IWSG and Celebrate the Small Things. I have posted more in February than the previous months, though, so that has to count for something. - Write my story for WEP -  Not only did I get my WEP story written, but I got runner up for it! I was super happy (and surprised) when I found out. If you haven't had a chance to read it yet, you can find it here . ...
