      Kate7 Barb: I hope so to, I'd share it if I knew how lol. Laurajs: To be honest I've had a stupid amount of work and whatnot (wont bore you with my domestics) on my plate but I have dealt with everything now and that helped a lot. But the real thing that got me writing again was reading something that I really enjoyed (in this case I re-read Neil Gaiman's the Sandman graphic novels) and it made me feel enthusiastic again. I'll have to remember that.

      LinsP I've just read the last page of the Feast for Crows and GRRMartin has written a small explanation for why the book is as it is and I find that I have forgiven him! So I will finish it off and get on to the next one :D

      Woolleybeans I am right there with you on that. You can certainly say one thing for George R R Martin - no one is safe.

      Woolleybeans By book five, he's naming chapter by descriptions instead of proper names, so you won't even know that by flicking through the chapter titles...

      LinsP Arya and the boys are still alive in the Feast for crows but I'm still less than half way through. Fed up with TBH. He'll have to beg me to invest any more time in it! Might skip over the chapters I'm not interested in.

      Woolleybeans I find I forget when deaths occur unless it was in the last page of the latest book, so I try not to let on about anything, but it is hard! Especially when he sometimes plays the double bluff, making you think someone is only thought to be dead, and then they really ARE dead!

      CJ Tell me about it. Even just going out to get milk was a no-go - I'm not taking my already profusely snotty kids out in this! It's not as if it's real snow - more like needling ice crystals that flay you alive. Not nice.

      Kate7 I think/hope it's getting better now, I came outside today without fear of freezing solid everytime I stood still and I could breathe without my throat turning to ice. Yay improvement!

About

I am a small noisy creature with a penchant for reading/writing, drawing, and photography.

I recently attended Aberystwyth University for 4 years and left with a law degree and post graduate diploma in legal practice which I’m hoping to upgrade to a Masters in 2012. I now spend my week days working as a paralegal and absolutely love it.

I have got three main novels on the ‘go’ at the moment, although I am trying to focus on them one at a time. However I struggle if I only have one project going so I’m also entering random writing competitions, and working on one or two fan related projects.

I have a small orange kitty called Mikho who is absolutely no help what so ever.

I am still eccentric and highly contagious.

    Since you're about the only person on here who might be vaguely interested, I finally found the time to play Dragon Age.

    Whoops...

    Bioware Crack, again. Although I'm not too sure about the dodgy cut scenes... (I got curious about Puss In Boots elf and how far I could push it. Yeah. *Ahem*)

    Heya hun - no worries, and thanks! I know exactly what you mean... I'm lurking on the peripheries myself at the moment - too much work, too much stuff going on at home, too little sleep = a very unproductive (and quite grumpy) CJ! xx

    You're welcome (for the legal suggestion). You'll see I've already posted one on your blog to kick it off. Hope it's not too onerous for you - feel free to duck out, as I truly don't know how hard it is to answer. Well, I know I've struggled - but then I don't have the legal background.
