I finished the second chapter of The Ending That Should Have Been (an ongoing fanfic based on Bram Stoker’s Dracula) back in November but I haven’t been happy enough with it to actually post it. The biggest problem I’ve had is that I don’t have a beta for this story. Not for lack of trying, […]

Fanfiction: The Ending That Should Have Been (NSFW)
Part Two Mina knew a moment’s anxiety when she woke, alone, in a strange bed. She did not immediately recognize her surroundings. Then an inmate howled and one of the guards replied by banging on the bars of his cell. It all came back to her: the men leaving her at the sanatorium where they […]

On failure. (Again.)
Being a writer means getting used to disappointment. Everyone who has ever taken up the pen has done so knowing that they have to have a hard shell, prepare themselves for rejection, blah blah blah. Doesn’t make it suck any less when it happens. You may remember that I applied for a bursary from Literature […]

Meme of the Week
Some weeks it’s hard to pick a favourite. Take last week, for example… I was wondering how I was suppose to choose between cake whores and Samuel L. Jackson when I came across this: I am still laughing over that shit! (That is EXACTLY the face I make when I get titties for dessert! LOL.)

A Day at the Pictures
CATEGORY: Beautiful Creatures, cinephile, Cineworld, films, Hansel and Gretel, Mama, movies, reviewsI spent all day Saturday at Cineworld in Newport, catching up with some films that have come out in the last couple of weeks.

A Song for Sunday: Halestorm – Love Bites (and so do I)
This week’s A Song for Sunday is “Love Bites” by Halestorm. Watch the video: There are so many reasons to like this song but I think I can narrow it down to two: 1. It’s totally rockin’! 2. Lizzy Hale is totally smokin’. Yup, that about sums it up. 🙂 This is everything a rock […]

CoD Playercards: Cookie Monster
CATEGORY: Black Ops 2, Call of Duty, CoD, Cookie Monster, emblem, pinterest, playercard, Sesame Street
It’s been awhile since I shared one of SimplyFiendish’s (aka: Jay’s) Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 player emblems. Today, I thought I’d share one he made for me. I demanded a cookie monster emblem and this is what he came up with: I loved it but Jay said he could do better. So he […]

Goodreads First Reads Winner: The River of No Return, Bee Ridgeway
I’ve started entering a lot of competitions on goodreads and have already had the good fortune to win a few. (Not the one that I really wanted but that’s just the way these things go, right?) This was the first one to arrive: The River of No Return by Bee Ridgeway “You are now a […]

South Sea Tales, Robert Louis Stevenson
I’m not a fan of Stevenson or Island Fiction in general. It’s just not my thing. But I came across this quote while reading South Sea Tales for class and it made me laugh: ‘He had the courage of a lion and the cunning of a rat; and if he’s not in hell today, there’s […]

Pinterest Fail
You know that I am, and have been for years now, a Pinterest junkie. It’s been one of my favourite sites and I’ve spent many hours there. But yesterday Pinterest really let me down. This is the email I received: Hi Wondra Vanian, I’m sorry to say that we had to remove one of your […]
