Sunday Sharing Post - Wooo!
Nov. 27th, 2016 07:27 pmOh, wow - this has been...a month. Let's just leave it at that! Anyhoo! If you have a snippet you'd like to share - go for it!

Sunday Sharing Post - Wooo!
Nov. 6th, 2016 06:39 pmHi everyone! How is November treating you so far? I'm NOT enjoying the time change. It's now dark when I leave the office at 4.50pm. Not. Cool.
How is the writing going? I've done fairly well this week until today. I think I'm just tired, but I'm going to try to get something written. In any case, here's a little snippet that I've been trying to work on.
( Cwm Alaw is a lot like Stars Hollow from the Gilmore Girls but with more weird stuff. )
What have you all been up to? Feel free to share or ask a question or anything! Happy Sunday! ♥

Sunday Sharing Post
Oct. 30th, 2016 08:02 pmHullo!
Well, it looks like people might be up for a Sharing Sunday of some sort. (alliteration unintended!) But I thought I might kick this Sunday off with more of a time to list the challenges you're looking forward to, or dreading, this month.
Mine is pretty simple:
I'm terrified that I'm not going to finish the darn thing. Not the word count part! The words I can do. It's the getting a beginning, a middle, and an end down on paper. The thing is, I know what they are. I know how it starts and I know how it ends. It's the getting there that I have trouble with. I kept finding myself getting bogged down in the details. Which is why I'm doing the whole 'just write and edit later' thing in the first place.
Still, I'm very worried that I won't finish. Well, *fingers crossed*.
How about you? What are you looking forward to this month writing-wise? Happy Sunday! ♥

I'm sure most of you have seen this, but in case you haven't, here's the trailer for The Price of Milk with Karl Urban. I've kind of watched it repeatedly for when he says "Coows!" It just kills me. And makes me want to move to New Zealand, because, dear Lord is it beautiful over there. (The scenery, not just Karl!)
I made some awesome Guinness Stew last night, so here is the recipe to try it for yourself. I actually made it without the beef and added more potatoes, carrots, mushrooms (thickly sliced) and red peppers. It works really well as a veggie dish. You can use a substitute for the beef bouillon as well!
On a completely different note, there is a gentleman outside my (rented) cottage painting the exterior wall. I don't really mind this, because it really needed to be re-painted. However, he just appeared earlier this week and started hacking and sanding away at the plaster before he started painting. Our landlords told us nothing about this. My husband, who works from home, all of a sudden had some guy outside the window banging away and there are paint chips in my flower pots.
Am I being unreasonable to think that maybe this deserved advance warning? My landlords are rather elderly and probably don't think of this as being my house as it is their property and therefore they can do whatever they want. But, a note through the door would have been nice.

Okay, a website. I think I'm going to go with some old favorites.
For News and Politics:
Salon.com
I've always enjoyed this site for it's opinion articles and the Arts & Entertainments section. It was especially fun to read this past year during the US elections. It certainly has it's issues, but I genuinely enjoy browsing it.
For Clothes and Pretty Things that I will Never Wear:
Anthropologie
For Novel Recommendations and Links to Other Cool Stuff:
Shalizi's Notebooks
This guy is cool and is the ultimate geek. He's got great reading lists for science fiction, fantasy, mystery and non-fiction. My husband likes it for all the high level maths. Before you know it, you will have spent hours looking through stuff.
I now have to attempt to finish a massive work project by tomorrow, plan an itinerary for my father who is threatening to vist me and cold call about 100 people.
5 cool points if you can place the quote from the mid-90s movie!
