    Harry Potter

    I love all the books, so am probably completely biased... But, I think that Chamber is Secrets is probably to one I like the least, so I can see where you are coming from. As others have said, from Prisoner of Azkaban, it gets so, so, very good. Though, I do love CoS, mostly because of...

    Nice weather for writing???

    I'm jealous of you thunderstorm experiencers... We really need one down here in Southamptons! Overcast and muggy today. Really need a big fat storm.

    Nice weather for writing???

    Yeah, I agree with Christian on this. The nice weather means I have to get out and do things with the boy and the boyfriend. Which, I love, really. Nothing like a walk up the woods with my two favourite boys. But, I find these walks actually inspire me to write. So, after the lovely boy is fast...

    The Cuckoo's Calling

    I was surprised not to find a thread on this already! But, then again, I have come to the conclusion that the majority of the regulars on here aren't Rowling's biggest fans! :p So what does everyone think? I'm, personally, not all that surprised because she had mentioned doing something like...

    What made you a convert to reading books as a child?

    I don't remember ever not reading, to be honest. I was always ahead in the school reading ages. Reading books for year 6, in year 4 kind of thing. I'd spend a lot of my break times in the library. But that may be down to not really having any friends! I'd often spend my weekends at the library...

    Breaking bones

    I've not broken my ankle, but I did break a tiny little bone between my ankle and heal. To be honest, I didn't really think it was broken. It was very swollen though, and putting weight on it was impossible. I took some relatively strong painkillers though, but didn't need them all the time. It...

    Big Bang Theory: TV comedy

    I can see what you mean, but at the same time, Penny does her fair share of mocking the guys for being 'nerdy' and 'uncool'.

    Big Bang Theory: TV comedy

    Kripke is pretty funny. Though, I have always wondered, does he really not know he's got a speech impediment? Because he sure acts like he has no clue... :D Best Kripke moment... Siri. Ha!

    Big Bang Theory: TV comedy

    I agree with you on this. I think one of my favourite moments was when Sheldon sort of opens up to Penny. And he says something in the lines of being out his comfort zone and that possibly he would be able to have a 'physical' relationship with Amy. And the girl they've written for Raj couldn't...

    How do you teach someone to read?

    I'm no expert, but from what I remember from being a kid/big sister/auntie is learning the letters first. You say she knows the alphabet song, but can't recognise the letters she is saying. So, I'd say first up, she's going to have to learn what the letters look like, then the sounds they make...

    Big Bang Theory: TV comedy

    Ah, I love Big Bang. But I kinda agree with others about Sheldon. I really like him, but in this last season he does seem to be a bit over-the-top in his child like behaviour. I would really like to see him growing into a 'normal' person, more. I adore Amy. She's hilarious, and I especially...

    The chronicles word counter!

    It's now up to a stonking 20,234 !!! Haven't done anything for a few days though, as I've been too busy having a life... Which is a rare occurrence!

    The chronicles word counter!

    17,756 Current word count... Been a bit distracted this weekend. Managed about 500 words this evening. The boyfriend is out tomorrow night for a good few hours, so planning on knuckling down then. Slowly getting there, I suppose. (I'm just looking forward to getting my first draft out the way...

    I'm Nervous?

    But, I mean it more opposite... Like, I've been struggling to get to a point that will make my plan work better. And now I've got to a point where it is making more sense and my view is clearer... Does that make sense? I do want cake... But, that is pretty standard. It might? Cake does...

    I'm Nervous?

    I have just had an overwhelming feeling of nerves... I'm working on my WIP just now. And for some reason, I just felt really nervous. Like I'm scared? I'm not writing a horror or thriller... Is this a normal reaction when you feel your getting somewhere with something? I've said before I...

    The sacrifice!

    To be honest, I'm not really at the point where I could sacrifice anything for my writing. I guess because I'm just starting out, I can't let it take over other things that I want/need to do. Writing is probably one of the only things that I currently do for 'me'. I wish I would sing and play my...
