"Spangles" commented on Spangles's Blog "Angels - can anyone help?".Thanks for that info, Weens. I didn't know about it and it sounds like a lovely tradition. May I ask who you are named after and whether you feel a particular affinity with them as a result? AW, I knew someone would ask this question! Actually, as ...

About
I sometimes ask myself what I'd do if I didn't earn my living from writing and editing books, and I have yet to find a satisfactory answer. So I'm very grateful to be a published author. So far, it's my non-fiction that's been published but I've set myself the goal of getting a publishing contract for some fiction by the end of this year. (Did you hear me, Universe?)

by Mistress Elysia 12 hours ago^^D Who says dieting can't be delicious, eh? I have soup for lunch every day now, always homemade. So far, I've got tomato, spinach and courgette and butternut squash, leek and spinach in the freezer (I like spinach, I guess!) and now tomato, garlic and basil in the oven... simples, but makes the distinct lack of chocolate (9 days and counting) all the easier to deal with. :) -
