Everything Is Better With Dragons
Book blogger, Autistic, Probably a Dragon
I’m doing quite well. Friday got off to an excellent start with over 3000 words written but then work at the weekend with all its attendent exhaustion meant I managed to write less than 2000 words all weekend.
Monday and Tuesday saw a renewed effort and another 6900+ words added. This morning, before going to college I managed to write just over 500 words.

You may be wondering why I’m writing reviews at one in the morning on 1st November when I clearly should be having an early night so that I can be up good and early to get the first couple of thousand words written on my NaNo novel in the morning. I have a legitimate excuse: I went to see a film and then a recording of a play at the cinema this afternoon/evening. It’s been an exhausting day but before I go to sleep I’m going to write my reviews.
I’m not in the mood to read ARCs today, I’ve decided. I want to write instead.
So I’m taking a break from reviewing until the beginning of December. I had planned to start on Friday but to be honest I can’t settle down to reading and I want to write. I have my NaNoWriMo from 2012 to go through and do a bit of work on. I haven’t even looked at it since January; it’s time to do some work on it and I know just what I want to write.

After the events of A study in silk Eveline Cooper was exiled to her Grandmamma Holmes’ Devon estate, Nick has given up the circus and his horses to become a pirate, captain of the Red Jack, Imogen Roth is fending off unsuitable suitors and Tobias Roth is engaged to the Gold King’s daughter Alice Keating, who is pregnant. Desperate for her company in Scotland Imogen persuades Alice to invite Eveline to visit them at the Keating shooting estate. After a joyous reunion all is turned upside down by Tobias’s unexpected arrival. The Gold King manipulates all concerned and Eveline is once more exiled, this time to Whitechapel. Her mission is to seek out the Blue King’s ‘maker’ – the person designing and creating his weapons and war machines.
I said earlier I wasn’t going to give up on the two ARCs from Net Galley that I found difficult to read?
I lied.
After spending some time this morning attempting to get in to them I just couldn’t make any progress. I got so bored I procrastinated by adding a Twitter widget to my blog and created a new bookshelf in my Adobe Digital Editions.
The books have been moved to this new ‘unreadable’ bookshelf. For the sake of the authors reputations I wont name them or the books.
Time to read the next book and watch old episodes of Highlander.
Hi everyone,
How are you all today?
I’m not feeling so great. I blame it on going to Nottingham at the weekend.

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen,
I wrote what follows on Sunday morning after the concert at Rock City on Saturday night, frustrated by my lack of WiFi and wanting to get something out of my system.
This is what happens when I get tired, inspired and frustrated by lack of a WiFi connection.
