A Harry Potter post.

**This idea was stolen from my dear friend, Caroline!**

Occasionally, I forget about Harry Potter. It doesn't happen very often, but, I will admit, somewhat ashamadely, that it does happen. And then, when I remember...sigh.

There are few books I enjoy more than Harry Potter. I mean, I grew up with Harry. I believe it was my 13th birthday when I got the first three books. Not too much older than Harry himself. I devoured them. I couldn't wait for book four!

I triumphed when he triumphed, and was brought low when he was low. I know that I am not the only one. I know of several people who feel the same way :) Right now, I am about to commence a re-read. All seven books. I am also more than likely going to watch the movies again...even though they aren't as good as the books, I still enjoy them immensley.

Anyway, thats all folks. Just wanted to expound on the glories of Harry Potter for a moment.

Cheers.

Just a quick update...

Ah, my blog, how I have missed thee!

I have been remiss lately in my blogging...hopefully that will change, right....now! :)

I have a few reviews to write, when I get the chance, perhaps tomorrow. I've started reading the murder mystery series by J.D. Robb, aka Nora Roberts, and they are fab! Thanks T, for making me read the first one! Currently reading book 3 (out of 30...seems daunting, lol).

I am also reading a book by Mercedes Lackey, one that I have actually never ever ever read before, which is super exciting! It's called 'Joust' and its about...dragons! The setting seems to be almost ancient Egyptian, which is super awesome. As soon as I finish that, I will post about it...

With writing...ah. Well, life happens. I'm still working on Chapter 7, and am 2 weeks late on it! Sorry C! I know I'll finish it this week, possibly tonight, for it is open and waiting for me, calling my name...Hopefully I'll get Chapter 8 in the works as well. That would be wonderful.

So, yes. Here I sit, hurridly typing this, eating pretzels and drinking water. Time to get back to my chapter. So, for now, adieu.

Cheers!

Chapters 5 and 6, among other things.

Well, Chapter 4 of MY book is complete! Along with Chapter 5. I can tell that I am getting back into writing, as it's coming more and more easily for me. I no longer, as of right now, have to force myself to write. Now I am constantly thinking of my characters, and what I can put them through. (Did I say that?)

And so, on to Chapter 6! I must say that this challenge I am doing has really helped me out a lot. Before, when I would write, I would just write. Pages upon pages. Just ask Caroline. I never divided it up at all. But now, having a minimum of one chapter per week, it's helped me structure my writing, which is always a good thing.

Last night, I stayed up entirely too late, reading. I finished a book called 'Garden Spells'. I'll probably put up a review in a bit, once I decide what to write.

I still have yet to get past chapter four on 'The Magicians and Mrs. Quent'. I will get to that before I read any other books. I have made a promise to myself.

Another review to follow asap, for 'Soulless'. I'm looking forward to finishing it, and can't wait to tell what I think.

Cheers!

Stuck on Chapters 4

I am in a conundrum. I am stuck on chapters 4. Both with reading, and writing.

As I have mentioned a time or two, I am in the midst of a writing challenge with my dear friend Caroline. This is week four, and so, chapter four is on the table. Or, in my case, NOT on the table. I am stuck! Hopefully this afternoon I'll be able to find some inspiration, which I have been lacking as of late.

I started reading 'The Magicians and Mrs. Quent" last week, and, as luck would have it, am stuck on chapter 4 in this as well. I read all of the reviews, and most people said that the first 100 pages or so were hard to get through, so I'm not going to give up on it yet, but I'm definitely going to take a little break, and read a mystery, which, in turn, may inspire me with ideas for MY mystery.

Ah, the curse of the Chapters 4.
