Contests

I've gotten back all the results from my poll and guess what? It turns out that we will be having two contests to celebrate my one hundred posts!

The contests I will be having are a writing contest and a photography contest.

The Writing Contest

For this contest you have to take a famous quote and write something to go with it. Your piece can be anything you want it to be, a poem, chapter, etc.



 

I will except entries up until the 30th of November and I will try to get the results posted in the week following. Not sure how it will go, but I will try!

 

The Photography Contest

For this contest you have to post a picture of something that inspires you the most. It can be anything! Entries have to bee in at the same time as the writing contest and I will try to get the results posted at the same time as the others.

 

If you do enter, please leave me a link to your entries in the comments:)

GIMPing

The other day, I downloaded GIMP! I have been thinking about GIMP for a while. I decided it was worth it if I want to really get somewhere with my shop.

So I downloaded GIMP and got down to learning how to use it. And let me just say, it's much, MUCH harder than I thought to work out.

It took me a while to understand everything I was doing, but after a bit I started to understand it all:) I even created a fun blog design using GIMP.

Have a look:

What do you think? I really love it. I'm quite proud of it:)

So, yep, GIMP is totally worth it!

Be still my heart 'cause it's freaking out, it's freaking out, right now
Shining like stars 'cause we're beautiful, we're beautiful, right now
You're all I see in all these places
You're all I see in all these faces
So let's pretend we're running out of time, of time

Review: Wildwood Dancing

via

Title: Wildwood Dancing

Author: Juliet Marillier

Rating: Four out of five

Summary: There are many mysteries within the wildwood. Jena and her sisters share the biggest of all, a fantastic secret that enables them to escape the confines of their everyday life in rural Transylvania. They have kept it hidden for nine long years.
When their father falls ill and must leave their forest home over the winter, Jena and her oldest sister Tati are left in charge. All goes well until a tragic accident allows their over bearing cousin Cezar to take control. The appearance of a mysterious young man in a black coat divides sister from sister, and suddenly Jena finds herself fighting to save all she holds dear. With her constant companion Gogu by her side, she must venture to realms dark and perilous in her quest to preserve, not just those she loves, but her own independence as well.

My Thoughts: This is really exciting book. I read it in one go. The fantasy world was beautifully planned. This book could have gone on forever and I wouldn't have gotten bored, but I would have died wondering how it would end.

Things I Hate

They're a certain things that really upset and annoy me, so today I thought I would make a list of some of them:

1. When people hate you because of what music you listen to. Does it matter who your favourite musicians are? It only matter's what your like.

2. When people think that your totally different because your homeschooled. I'm still human. I'm just schooled differently.

3. People who don't even try to hide that they don't want you around. It's not hard to smile and pretend you like someone. Seriously it hurts people's feelings when you just say straight out you hate them.

4. When people laugh at your religion, treating like they're no way it's right. This really annoys me. Everyone has different beliefs, but that doesn't mean you're right!

5. When people pick food off other people's plates. It's a really annoying habit that set's my teeth on edge.

I hope you liked this list!

95th Post

Guess what, this is my 95th post! I'm so excited, I'm almost at 100 posts. It's taken long enough.

I was wondering what I should do when I get to 100 posts, should I have a writing contest, blog party, photography contest, what?

I came up with the idea to hold a poll. So if you want to vote, feel free. In fact, vote even if you don't want to!

Also, I've been trying to learn how to write some flash fiction after finding a blog full of it. What would people think if I posted some?
