The Word Cloud

It’s been an odd week overall.

But I think/hope things are calming down now.

Things were a bit rough for a couple of weeks then it all came to a head at the beginning of last week. Things were said and done that were unkind and I must admit I was not expecting it. I was hurt (emotionally) quiet badly, but like I said I think life is returning to normal now. At least things do not feel so raw anymore. Plus the week seemed to end on a high, so fingers crossed.  

The weekend has been somewhat productive; I have finally finished my second draft of Grey Wings. It’s still 20,000 words short of what it should be. But after reading through it I’m not surprised, as it feels a little bit thin on the ground in places. I am happy with the first two thirds but the final third feels very rushed so I’m going to flesh it out a bit.

I was always a bit worried that my word count would fall under what it should be. Then to fill it up I would end up ruining the novel by filling it with waffle. But so far that’s not happening so I am relieved.

Other than that things are coming along nicely. I’m reading again which is great. I hate it when I go through phases of struggling to read more than a page or so. I’m still plodding along with my culling of my online writing accounts and I actually found time to do a drawing last weekend so I’m quite pleased with that. I’m also hoping to be able to go out with my camera again shortly and get some good Autumn shots.

Oh and my brother got married last weekend. The wedding was lovely, the after party was fun and the bride and groom are now off on their honeymoon so that’s all good. Plus that the wedding was my last major expense before Xmas so I’m hoping to really start saving some money for my masters, getting Grey Wings looked over and of course Xmas.

Finally I’m sure there has been a post like this previously but for the life of me I cannot remember who wrote it or what it was called. So I am going to ask my question, I’m well and truly fed up with my live journal account (nothing wrong with live journal, just that I feel it’s growing stale, a lot of my friends have stopped posting and all the new groups I join seem to die off pretty quickly or get filled with trolls).So does anyone have any recommendations as to what blog site is good? I’m looking for something professional in appearance as I want something I wouldn’t mind potential publishers seeing lol (note my optimism).
