The Butterflies Are Still There

Today’s theme song is Sia’s Butterflies. Enjoy :)

I had a great weekend, we had so much fun during family weekend. We were lucky with great weather and happy people! :D

Last week, I added nearly 5000 words to Aeon, so I’m on a roll!

At the moment, though, I’m extremely busy with work for University – writing a bachelor thesis has begun, so my teammates and I are working hard on our hypotheses and our introduction. It’s going to be crazy, I think, and I’m afraid the writing and the blog will suffer for it a little, luckily it will only last until December or so. I’m trying to write as much as I possibly can right now to sort of make up for how little I will probably be able to add to the novel in the next week months.

    Great links! Glad to find a “Deadliest Plants” link, I’d need that info for a future novel.

    And thanks for the link-back!  :)

    Good luck with your university studies and papers.  Busy months ahead for you.

    I really enjoyed @JamiGold’s post, too.  Yes, all us writers are a bit delusional. :)
