Come and see the awesomeness that just arrived at my house (there's lots!)

Not too long ago, I entered a competition held by Laura at Stranger Than Writing, to win a writer's survival kit! All we had to do was tell Laura what writerly things we love, and she chose me as the winner! I must say, Laura went above and beyond to get some fantastic things for my survival kit, so let's have a look at what's inside!

                                                                   Pretty notepads!

                                                             Post-its,erasers and pens (oh my!)

                                                                 Coffee and chocolate!

                                                              My whole new set of supplies!


Isn't that the coolest thing ever? But wait, there's more! Not to take away from Laura's amazing gift, but look what else just (literally) arrived in the post ....

Yes, This is a paperback proof of Game On! I cannot believe I am now holding my own book in my hands! It's all shiny and beautiful and has that gorgeous new book smell! I have been doing the happy dance since it arrived and now I am going to curl up with the hot chocolate from Laura and check it over for errors. :D

Best Thursday Ever.

GUTGAA Meet and Greet!

Oh, I have SO been looking forward to this!! But, before I start, I need to send a huge apology to Emily R.King and Melodie Wright. I signed up to their What I Did Last Summer Bloghop , but it looks like I'm not going to have the time to participate. :( I've never backed out of a bloghop before, but as you may have noticed, I've been kind of out of the blogging loop for a while and now I'm struggling to catch up! Please go and check out Emily and Melodie's hop, though - it's fun! :D NOW, onto GUTGAA! This amazing blogfest was put together by Deana Barnhart , and was designed to help writers in their quest to find an agent, plus help form connections between writers. The idea is genius and I am so excited to be a part of it! So, I am going to begin with the meet and greet questions, and I'll be hopping around to other blogs later! :D Bio : Kyra Lennon was born on the South coast of England, and to this day, still lives by the sea.
