Choosing Series Names and Getting High...

Can all happen at the same time! My friends, you should've seen me last night.
 'What can I call Book 4 of the Wings and a Prayer books?' I thought to myself, quickly pausing YM@6 for a proper brainstorming session.
 I got zilch. Nowt. Nothing. Nada.
 So then I thought, 'didn't I give it a name in my planning notebook?' Turns out I didn't.
 Thankfully, I got distracted by my Series Name Brainstorm on the next page over. It was all a load of rubbish, but it got me thinking.
 And suddenly, I found the name for my series in a shocking flash of inspiration similar to the flash that came with thinking of the name for the first book.
 So, that first book is now called
Wings and a Prayer, Book 1 of the Finding Grace series (Small World Collection)
Yay! Bit of a mouthful, but yay! (Not like you have to say absolutely all of that anyway) Yay!
Writer of much more exciting things than what her blog posts contain out!

I wish I was a punk rocker...

I do. I really do.
However, that's not what I'm here for. I'm here to protest the lack of good Christmas stories, my friends. I mean, a flying unicorn? Sherlock jumping off a -- oh, that's something else...
You people make me sad. Thankfully, I've finished my science exams, yay, so now I'm free for writing, reviewing, and blogging.
I can see you weeping tears of joy. Stop that. I will eat that unicorn you wrote about.
You know who you are.
Tired, slightly crazy chick out. Peace, love, and sustainably sourced books!

Christmas time, mistletoe and non-alcoholic beverages...

It's Christmas, and yet I don't feel very Christmassy. Hmm. Now why on earth could that be? Could it be the gazillion times I've sung carols since the beginning of December? Could it be that Googlemail has decided to fail on me and now only works by laptop (rather than mobile)? Could it be that posting this is flouting my rules of holiday revision (revise for your January science exams between three and four, you lazy cow)? Possibly. But I think it's more likely because I haven't read any nice Christmas tales.
 Which is why I'm starting up EatMyBook's first ever competition -- a Christmas one!
You got a short story you want to tell the world? Is it Christmas related, and therefore irrelevant for most of the time?
Send it in!
The only conditions are that it's suitable for a 15 year old to read and that it's original. The winner gets their story posted on my blog, PLUS my unending gratitude that one of my millions of fans is actually out there and good at writing Christmas tales.
To enter, just end a tweet with the hashtag #charlieeatmyxmastale and I'll send you my email address so you can send me your story. If you don't have Twitter, post a comment below and I'll work something techy out.
Merry Christmas! Fellow seasonal writer out!

It's about time I plugged the Vampire Academy series

As the title suggests, this post is all about the awesomeness that is Vampire Academy (and Bloodlines), though I can't fairly review any of them since it's been such a long time since I read the first one the first time, and I wouldn't want to write a review for something that I have found a love of due to other books in the series -- not to say that VA#1 isn't awesome -- or write a review for one of the newer ones and leave some of you awesome people out just because you're ignorant.
Just read them, and I will be your best friend forever. If you're into your paranormal-romance, but find Bella way too wimpy, then this is the series (serieses (?) including Bloodlines) for you.
Also... the Vampire Academy series has an awesome, happy ending -- but not too happy or cheesy or out of the realm of believability for those of you sick of Twilight.
This whole series gets five stars.
VA fan out!

Hello again!

Okay, so, awkward. I'm sorry, blog. Eat My Book enthusiasts. I am truly sorry it's been however long it's been, but, to be honest, I was contemplating ending our relationship. I mean, it's all about the sex anyway right?

Okay, now I've weirded you out enough...

You like to read. Do you like to write? You better. I've got the website for you (but you know, I don't do very well with technology, so--) just search nanowrimo ywp. Try and write a novel in a month! I'm panicking already!
Scared writer out and probably never coming back! Heeeelllppp!
