So I am in the process of a couple of projects right now - one won't take much time to complete and the other will.
I am posting about the former - I decided recently to 'reimagine' my comic character Nicola into her own comic of sorts which I had previously tried.
What I have begun to create is something called 'The Story of Us' which follows Nicola and Sarah on their everyday adventures.
You can see the cover here!

Curse you , HBO
I started watching Game of Thrones on the early morning of Easter Monday, having been really far behind the rest of the world.
I just finished series two last night and it was way to awesome. I suspect witchcraft.
Because of this I've only been able to do my writing of words in work at lunch or breaks, but I am still doing it. I did consider going to the gym today but it was hard enough to have a bath without the phone ringing (silent call), a neighbour ringing the doorbell then a wild postman appearing with parcels to sign for. It wasn't very effective; the post wasn't even for me. :(
Also it's cold. Bed is not cold. Therefore I am sitting in bed.
SHUT UP I'M LAZY

Soupy
Soapy? Soupy. I am eating soup right now, because I wasn't sure if I was able to eat anything lame and solid because I have this condition where I shit when I eat.
What do you mean everyone does?
Seriously though, this is some good soup. It's some kind of oh god my phone won't let me scroll down so I can't see what I am typing anymore ahhhhhhh
Ah there we go. Anyways

Wouldn't it be nice
If I could remove my Goodreads copy of Scourge?
I uploaded Scourge when I didn't entirely understand Goodreads. I have absolutely no idea what version is currently on there - but it's been on there since sometime in 2012, which would have been when the first version went live on Amazon. Since then, I recall having made some rewrites. I have no idea if people who have reviewed or starred have read the version which was available on Kindle/Smashwords or Goodreads, therefore I have no idea what versions they've reviewed. It also appears that once something is on Goodreads, its there forever and I'm not permitted to change my cover art? It shows its old, when this is the cover displayed:
Scourge disheartens me sometimes. It was my first book which I probably should not have rushed to get out there, because I didn't have anyone to read it and check over any issues with plot, characters or spelling and grammar errors. I still need someone to look at Averan to make sure it's going all right. I have completely abandoned the 'different character every chapter first person narrative' I tried in Scourge. My problem I had then and sort of now is that I am not a huge fan of third person narrative because I don't think I do it very well, so I favour speaking as a character in first person - of course for Averan, I have decided that only Emily speaks in first person, so if I need another character to take over for a chapter - they're pushed to third person because it can be confusing switching between characters all screaming in first person narrative.
I know Scourge says it's the first book in the series, but due to all the problems I have had with it I am not looking at going back to it any time soon, although I have made some amendments to the print version which I am only vaguely considering taking to the Comic Con in August/September.
I hope I can get someone to look over Averan. Having read reviews on Goodreads I can't say I'm feeling like writing right now. LIKE EVERY DAY!

That there was the original cover I created with a free image before Kate made my other cover which I've been using forever now. Its a bit lame. It shows nothing about the book and blah it's not the proper cover anymore.

Wattpad, no more
I've removed the vast majority of my stuff off Wattpad, as I couldn't cope with the like for like, read for read demographic on the site which I was incapable of getting along with effectively due to work commitments and shizzle like that.
I haven't deleted Humanity and Scourge off there (yet) because they had a few reads, but I never finished updating them on there and I probably won't. If people want to read them, they'll probably have to pick up a copy and read it then, unless I really feel crazy and complete them there. Who knows. Not me.
