Weekly Rundown - 10th July 2018

It's been a while since I've done a weekly rundown post, but I do enjoy documenting what I'm up to every week, so here goes:

Listening to: 
Music - Five Finger Death Punch have a new album out, which I'm enjoying a lot. It's nice to have something new to listen to.
Audiobook - Angels and Demons by Dan Brown. I've wanted to try out Dan Brown for a while, and I'm finding it alright so far.

Reading: Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman. I'm loving this book so far, Eleanor is such an intriguing character and I can't wait to discover what actually happened to her in her past.

Watching: I'm still rewatching Lost with Jamie (we're on the last season now)and I've also been rewatching How I Met Your Mother (which I love except for the very last episode) and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
As for new shows, I watched the first season of 13 Reasons Why with my mum over the last couple of weeks - I really enjoyed it, so much so that I went out and bought the book the other day. I'm looking forward to seeing how it differs, and of course I can't wait to watch season 2.

Writing: Blog posts, for the first time in months, and I've also spent a little time on a short story idea and my edits for my WIP.

Cooking: Lots of chilli, as it's one of my favourite meals at the moment. I've also been making a lot of salmon.

Baking: Not much recently, although I have some rhubarb in the fridge to make a crumble with - I love a good rhubarb crumble.

Feeling: Busy! I had plans all weekend with friends and family which is great, but it's worn me out! I'm hoping that next weekend will be quieter so I can get some housework and writing done.

Loving: The summer weather, despite my love for winter and the cold. We have a chair swing in our garden now, and it's so nice to have somewhere to sit and enjoy the sun. It has been bit cooler over the last couple of days though, which has been nice!

    Too hot here for chili, but you enjoy.
    Enjoy time with family and friends anyway. You're young and have energy to do it all. Trust me!

    I make chili pretty often in the winter but not this time of year. It's fun watching shows with family. My husband and I have such different tastes that we almost never watch anything together.

    Hey—I've been doing a BtVS rewatch, too! And I'm so with you on the end of How I Met Your Mother.

    Hope you keep enjoying that summer weather!

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...
