An Ending

Today is Wednesday. Yay for stating the obvious! With all my assignments out of the way, at least for a few weeks, I've been taking the time to read through my very rough draft of Queen of Hearts not for the purposes of correction but just to read it and enjoy it and immerse myself …

Why WIPpet doesn’t always happen…

...And why I've been on unannounced hiatus. To be fair, I've no real excuse except to say that writing essays has had to be my priority and I seem unable to multitask well between academic and creative writing. I also feel that the time I spend writing blog posts is time sometimes better spent elsewhere …

A Fresh Start and a Castle

You may have noticed a few changes around here. Namely, the theme. I thought it was time for a change. Tell me how you find it in terms of readability and navigation. 🙂 And now, onto business. Today, because I can't find 28 appropriate lines that work together and don't give too much away yet …

Tis a Silly Scene

So, my merry WIPpeteers, we meet again. As it's the 2st and I have admittedly been a little mean in my offerings, I have for you 21 lines. For those of you new to the game check out this linky for more awesomeness. This is just a fun little scene which may or may not …

Flykt, Part 2.

Welcome one and all to the second ever Short Story Saturday. The rules are super simple; post a part of your short story (or a piece of micro-fiction) each week. Make sure you include this linky thing so your readers can find other great pieces of short stories. A huge thank you to Emily Witt at Keys and an …

Wet Wednesday

It is again Wednesday. *sigh* I considered not posting today. It's winter in my part of the world and a cold, wet disgusting winter at that. After spending all day at uni in the rain and with amount of required readings building up around me at an alarming rate, I felt I couldn't be bothered. …

WIPpet Wednesday

I know I say this a lot but Wednesday has arrived again, out of the blue, though with all the access to calendars, I should have seen it coming. 🙂 Anyway, the rules are simple; post an excerpt from a WIP which correlates somehow to the date. You can find links to the other participants …

WIPpet Wednesday

Wednesday is the middle of the week - hump day - but it's not all bad. Here's my WIPpet contribution for this week and the other awesome participants can be found here. Today, as you probably know, today is the 26th so the following is 26 words, taken from my WIPpet, Rebellion Rising (which will not …

Parlez-vous francais?

First thing you need to know - this post has almost nothing to do with French, despite any misconceptions the title might give. The second thing you need to know (there will be a test :P) is this post is the second in my world-building series (if you can really call it that). The third …

WIPpet Wednesday

I have reached the stage where I can't show you anything more from the WIP I usually use on these delightful Wednesday's because of spoilers so from now on, I'll give you exerts from the tentatively titled Rebellion Rising, a sort-of sequel. On the positive side, new characters to meet 🙂 As today is the …
