Of Sheep and Selkies (and NaNoWriMo)

I spent the weekend with other people’s stories, editing and trying to work out a running order for the Homespun eBook. It felt nice to sit with them and give them my full attention, which will hopefully prove motivational for getting on with my own stuff.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Green

This week’s weekly photo challenge is to come up with a bunch of photos that say ‘green’. Here are mine.

My Green Gallery includes, in no real order – Graffiti of Ron Weasley on a wall in Ljubljana, gin bottle lamp my sister made, bubbles in Holyrood Park, Peacock in a park in Warsaw, updated rules to a Lord of the Rings drinking game, green books in our flat, a sinister spinning wheel.

If nothing else this exercise has taught me how to make a WordPress gallery, which I’m sure will prove to be a very useful life skill…  See other people’s green galleries here.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Geometry

I have so much writing to do this month I will go crazy if I don’t do something else too, so I’m going to join in with a couple of photography challenges.  This one is from the post a day blog.

If pushed to describe what geometry means to me (unlikely, sure, but stranger things have happened), I’d probably say something vague about lines and shapes and change the subject.  So, without further ado, some lines and shapes:

My house
Venice

And how is NaNoWriMo going for you?!

Winter is Coming

 

And I think I’m OK with that.  Since fuel prices are increasing exponentially (something that affects me these days, how depressingly grown up) I forsee a lot of sweeping round the flat wearing my patchwork blanket like a mantle and demanding ale and wenches.  It’s going to be pretty sweet.
