Being an author is like being in charge of your own personal insane asylum.

I Was a Peruvian Farmer

True story. I was. Yesterday. And you can read about it on Rita's blog here.

As for the declaration that I was going to begin writing ahead of schedule. It's not happening. Pottermore.com has sucked me into a world of make-believe and I am currently trying to master the exact science and subtle art that is potion-making.

Oh, and spell-casting is horribly tricky as well.

When it works, it works well. I wish it would work more often.

Training is going very well. Wednesday nights K.C. and I have started working with the body pads (padded chest/body protectors so we can actually hit each other - getting hit still hurts, by the by. I shudder to think what it feels like with out the pad!). I'm uncoordinated and K.C. is very kindly keeping the drills simple for me. Still, it's wicked fun.

M.D. came over last night. She's in town from Saskatchewan ... or was is Saskatoon. One of those. It was lovely to see her again in any case. She's looking well and she's awesome as always.

Have you seen the Game of Thrones teaser trailer? I have. I can't wait for it to start!

On the subject of T.V. shows, there are two slated to premier soon, and I can't wait to see them. Grimm and Once Upon A Time. It's so wonderful to see faerie tales coming back into story-telling. I'm a huge fan of faerie tales.

Right, nothing else to report, so I'm going to Hogwarts now. Potions starts soon and I don't want Snape to get mad at me...

A Day Off

I happily managed to make my target yesterday, which means I don't have to write today after all. I shall be spending the day watching Mock the Week, I think.

In other news, Rita Webb, fellow author and one of the geniuses behind the Unlocked anthology has a new book (entitled Tears) soon to be released!

*sounds of cheering and joyous whistles

To celebrate, she's giving out 5 free Kindle copies of her book. It's well worth a try right? Just go HERE and leave a comment with an email address to enter.

Good luck!

Right, I'm going to spend the day goofing off.

Roger

To bull, or lie with a woman' from the name of Roger being frequently given to a bull.

Wow. Give a whole new meaning to the phrase 'roger and out,' right?
