I really need to find some way to protect my iMac from my cat Rosie.
Multiple times a day she is smooching up against it and pushing it around. When I found my computer this morning, it had been rotated 90˚C, and the monitor was angled.
After a couple of weeks break from posting a blog, I'm back.
This week's blog post is my roadtrip to the 45˚ Fibre Festival in Gore at the beginning of May. It features knitting and spinning and buying crafty things, and winning a raffle prize.
I just finished reading "A fellowship of bakers and magic" by J. Penner. The book was good, but it was missing a spark of magic that would make it amazing.
The premise sounded great, which was Great British Bake Off meets cozy fantasy, but it felt like the heart of the book was missing.
I just checked, and it was self published. I think a good editor might have made it an even better book. #bookstodon
@MsHearthWitch Yes, I agree completely. Beta readers are equally important as they can tell the writer important stuff like that. I've been a beta reader for lots of my writing friends, and also a judge in writing contests for the Romance Writers of New Zealand.
OMG, are you me? I also have depression, and my will to write died during covid.
The pandemic is also what killed the last spark of writing joy in me. Yay.
I've been on a journey this year to recapture parts of me that I've lost, and my love of writing is one of them.
I used to write a lot of HP fic, and well... I don't do that anymore. It's been hard to like, find a world (original or fanfic) that I feel comfy and excited to write in since then.
