Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by
Parajunkie It's a really fun way to get to know other bloggers and pick up a few new followers on the way.
This weeks question is: What do I do when I'm not reading?
I would tell you but then I'd have to kill you :) Just kidding. Like a lot of bloggers, my first passion is writing and I spend a lot of my time hashing out plot lines and characters. I'm editing a YA novel at the moment but I hope to start the query process in the next few weeks. If I have any spare time after that I'll be gardening, painting, watching TV or just plain being bored. Oh and I am also a bit of a budding florist.
* My husband just walked past and said the above is a lie. According to him when I'm not reading, I'm blog stalking or eating/sleeping. Who are you going to believe?
There you go guys. That's me outside of reading. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a great weekend.
LOL love the rebel insert comment from the husband! Always enjoy discovering a new writer and bk reviewer. Good luck with the querying process. Have you considered self publ? What's your YA novel about?
ReplyDeleteLove your blog header.
ReplyDeleteGreat answer.

I try to garden... but I'm really terrible at it! This is the first year (in 7 years) that everything in my garden hasn't died, and I think that I owe that to my husband!
ReplyDeleteI'm an old follower hopping through to wish you a happy Friday!

I'm sure if you asked my husband about what I do when I'm not reading, he'd agree with your husband. =)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by StuckInBooks.ccm FF
Good luck on querying your novel! Love the comment from your husband :)
ReplyDeleteMy FF
Lani: I don't know enough about self-publishing as yet but I would def give it a try. My YA novel is about...goodness, If I could sum it up in a few words I wouldn't be having so much trouble writing my synopsis. I guess it's sort of a sci/fi fantasy novel based in Melbourne about a young tell with telepathic powers and her friends :(
ReplyDeleteLauren B: Thanks :) Love your icon :)
ReplyDeleteAmy: We've met before on a previous FF!! :)
Bonnie & Valerie: Thanks for stopping by again!
Emily & The Fictional Bookshelf: Thanks for following. Looking forward to discussion books with you.
Lani: That should have said girl not tell. It's too early in the morning here!
ReplyDeleteHopping through. That's a pretty bouquet. What genre (e.g. contemporary or fantasy) book are you writing?
ReplyDeleteMy Hop
Alison: Thanks. The bouquet was one I did for a friends wedding a few years ago. My novel is probably urban fantasy/sci-fi if I had to put it in a genre. Even I am confused about it at the moment!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again :)
wow! sounds like you have alot of hobbies! hope to see your book out soon.
ReplyDeleteSo exciting about your novel. Now I want to know all about it. I'll just have to stalk you now.lol
ReplyDeleteHi Lan thanks for coming by my blog. There is actually a large group of is Australian bloggers. If you go on Goodreads try finding a group called the Aussie Swap. And in Melbourne, there's a few of us. Us Aussies are all great blogging buddies so hope to have you join us.
ReplyDeleteAnd goof luck with your querying! I'm still writing my novel, well more thinking rather than writing.
hahahahahhaha your husband's answer hahaha
ReplyDeletetypical :D
New follower :]
happy friday!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! We should totally exchange novels when we're finished (but only God knows when that will be, for me at least).
ReplyDeleteYour newest follower,
Mandy @ Embrace Your Oddities
Dreamer: Thanks, I hope I can get around to doing a lot of novel stuff this weekend.
ReplyDeleteRebecca: Stalk away! I'd love some stalker company :) Will keep you updated on the progress of the querying.
Braiden: I'm not on goodreads. I can barely keep up with having a blog! Plus writing and other hobbies. But I'll jump on and have a look at the Aussie Swap group. I've met a lot of bloggers from Sydney but none from Melb yet.
Melannie: Men are all the same aren't they? I suppose I should be happy he leaves me alone to blog on Friday nights!
Hi, just following back.
ReplyDeleteLol, love your husband's comment!
That's a pretty bouquet though. I have the black thumb of death so I try not to ever handle plants or vegetation.
Have a great weekend.
