Hello gentle reader,
It is time for another weekly check-in! I hope you had a great and productive week…
Quote of the Week
“Once again…welcome to my house. Come freely. Go safely; and leave something of the happiness you bring.”
Dracula by Bram Stoker
Basically my blogging philosophy.
Picture of the Week
Lights in London by my friend M.LIN
ROW80 Check-In
My goal for this round is to write every day. This week again I managed to write
6 days out of 7.
Word Count of the Week
This week I added 2680 words to my Work In Progress. I also edited it a lot, and wrote a synopsis for it.
TV Show of the Week
Vikings (History Channel)
Honestly, I watched this show because of its title. I LOVE Vikings stories. The first two episodes aired this week and they were quite enjoyable, if you don’t mind a slow start and ridiculous hairstyle. I know I don’t, as long as there are, you know, VIKINGS.
Good News of the Week
I had again a lot of good news this week! First a fellow member of There And Draft Again, Kathi, awarded me the Very Inspiring Blog Award. If you recall, I have already received it twice (!) so you can read my acceptance post here. Then the awesome Veronica Park offered (!!) to critique my synopsis and she gave me some amazing feedback to improve it. And finally after 4 months of silence, my wonderful CP Jessica Montgomery started blogging again! Go and follow her here! She’s awesome, I promise.
Links of the Week
On my blog this week I celebrated World Book Day and I introduced you to the main character of my YA Historical Fantasy novel set in Victorian London.
