"Fiction, imaginative work that is, is not dropped like a pebble upon the ground, as science may be; fiction is like a spider's web, attached ever so lightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners." Virginia Woolf

Book Review - Farsighted by Emlyn Chand

AMAZON

The Book

Alex Kosmitoras’s life has never been easy. The only other student who will talk to him is the school bully, his parents are dead-broke and insanely overprotective, and to complicate matters even more, he’s blind. Just when he thinks he’ll never have a shot at a normal life, a new girl from India moves into town. Simmi is smart, nice, and actually wants to be friends with Alex. Plus she smells like an Almond Joy bar. Yes, sophomore year might not be so bad after all.

Unfortunately, Alex is in store for another new arrival—an unexpected and often embarrassing ability to “see” the future. Try as he may, Alex is unable to ignore his visions, especially when they begin to suggest that Simmi is in danger. With the help of the mysterious psychic next door and new friends who come bearing gifts of their own, Alex must embark on a journey to change his future.

Happy Mother's Day to everyone outside of the UK. Ours has been and gone :)

Ch-Ch-Changes! Websites, IVF, Dogs and Me!

Hey everyone. Well, as of yesterdays post I have decided to take a break form the memes for a while. This includes both The Weekend Creation Blog Hop and The Storyteller Writing Challenge. I'm about to deal with quite a lot so want to free up some time, and they just weren't helping others to meet or share as much as I'd hoped. Thanks to everyone who participated at some point. I hope I managed to introduce creative bloggers to each other over the past year or so. That was my main aim.

I have a LOT planned for the rest of this year and there will be big changes here. I hope you'll all come with me when those changes happen. You see, I want to migrate this blog to a Wordpress platform and possibly to a Genesis framework - DIY! Yep. Scary!

Is this the end?

Okay Storytellers. So these are the results of the POLL I've been running for a month or so, and I wanted to share them with you. I also wanted to let you know my thoughts on both of my memes with regards to their future.
