Hello gentle reader,
It is time for the third check-in of this round! I hope you had a good and productive week…
Quote of the Week
“All the elements in your body were forged many many millions of years ago in the heart of a faraway star that exploded and died. That explosion scattered those elements across the desolations of deep space. After so, so many millions of years, these elements came together to form new stars and new planets. And on and on it went. The elements came together and burst apart, forming shoes and ships and sealing wax and cabbages and kings.
Until, eventually, they came together to make you.
You are unique in the universe.”
The Doctor in Doctor Who, “The Rings of Akhaten”

Links of the Week
This week on my blog I’m holding a giveaway to celebrate my 400th Blog Follower! You can still enter here and win a signed copy of A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness.
Since it was also a week full of sad events around the world, I blogged about Kew Gardens, one of the most beautiful and peaceful man-made places on earth.
Elsewhere, you can watch Thirty Seconds To Mars new music video, Up In The Air. You know how much I love them.
And the Undiscovered Voices competition (for UK and EU Children’s Unpublished Writers) is coming up soon, so check out the website for information.

Just discovered The Borgias thanks to dvr. I might have to keep watching. 🙂
I’m completely hooked 🙂 Season 1 was my favourite, but Season 3 has started really strong…
And Vikings. *Love* Vikings.
You managed 3000 words in 2 days!? Brilliant! Have a great week and good luck with getting those words done for camp!
Thanks! You too 🙂
I really enjoyed A Discovery of Witches. My MIL recommended it to me actually. Yes, she’s awesomesauce. 3k words on 2 days, that’s fabulous. Here’s to more good news and a fun week.
Yeah for MIL’s book recommendations 🙂 And thanks for stopping by!
Congrats on the 3k! I hope you can get more writing days this week, but you’re definitely making real progress. Happy writing!
Loving the new doctor who series… recognised the quote immediately!
