I entered Jesse’s life one more time. One more time before the last anyway. We’d been in touch every now and then in the three and a half years since our last meeting. He sent me a copy of each of the novels he published, although as the father of a toddler he’d only had time to write one novel and a collection of poems and short stories. I sent birthday and Christmas gifts for Ellie. It was harder to keep track of Jesse than it had been years ago at the beginning of his career. Back then Jesse would be in the news every other day, paparazzi snapping him going grocery shopping, coming out of bars and clubs in New York. He w

During Jesse’s life there were five times our paths crossed. Most of them were intentional on my part, but there was one time, apart from the first, where we met purely by chance After what had happened in London we agreed to keep our distance from each other. We both knew it was for the best, and it was not like either of us really had the time to devote to a relationship anyway. Jesse was a Pulitzer prize winning, Oscar nominated author and screenwriter now, and I had found myself as the leader of one of the largest covens in the United States. I was still finding the latter hard to believe. I’d been going about my life in Londo

Piccadilly - Sequel to Columbia

Piccadilly Circus Underground Station was a hive of activity. Evening commuters and twenty-something partygoers gathered on the platforms, so eager to start their weekend they didn’t notice when I slipped onto the Bakerloo platform through a service door. I fell into line with the passengers marching through the corridors and up the escalators and emerged in the middle of Piccadilly Circus. The passengers around me drew scarves and coats closer to their necks, shivering against the cold. I was dressed appropriately for the winter chill, but the cold made no difference to me. I just didn’t want to draw attention to myself as the gi

Columbia Part One

It was an unusually warm night in New York City. It didn’t make much difference to me personally, but I could see it in the faces of the citizens. As they stepped out of the air conditioned Apple Store and gasped as the dry air hit them. As they sighed with relief when a taxi sped past, blowing a breeze their way. I waited for Ansel to finish his meal, trying to remember whether it had been this warm last time I was in the city. Maybe I hadn’t noticed. There were no air conditioned Apple Stores back then, or air conditioning at all for that matter. Ansel let the homeless man he’d been feeding from fall to the ground. I helpe

Columbia Part Two

The next few days passed in the dull monotony I’d been trying to avoid. I’d been forcing myself to stay at Ansel’s side since the night with Jesse. I followed him out of the coven to feed, and followed him back to stand in silence while he discussed the finer points of vampirism with the other makers. I knew that if I had any time to myself I’d text Jesse, or worse, hover around his house. I wanted to think it was because of some deep need to make sure he was okay, or to make sure he wasn’t going to tell anyone my secret, but my reasons were far more selfish than that. I wanted to be with him. Not necessarily in

NaNoWriMo

0 min read

I've decided to do NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) in November. If you don't know what it is, it's basically a month for you to focus on starting your novel and getting to 50,000 words. That's the minimum for a novel, so you either finish it or get 50,000 words out of the way. The idea is to just write (even if it's crap), and then you can go back and edit later. I've been looking at NaNoWriMo preparation vlogs, and they all say to use Scrivener, which is a program for basically all creative writing projects. In terms of novels it allows you to fully outline everything, attaching photos, videos, whatever for you to check while you'r

And I'm All Set

0 min read

My mum asked if I wanted to go shopping with her, to "have a look" at the convection ovens for my polymer clay set up I'm getting for my birthday. Turns out that meant buying an oven, plus absolutely everything I'd need (and some things I'm not sure I do...). I ended up with: An oven10 Fimo claysPacket of oven traysArmature wire2 rolling pinsA tool setBaking paper and cling wrapA box to put it all in My mum wanted me to get everything I could possibly need now, and then all I have to do it replenish my clay as I need to. She doesn't seem overly into working with it herself, but is very keen for me to. And now for the geekery...

Back to the Real World

0 min read

At the point I feel like I need another holiday... I was pretty much thrust back into a full on uni schedule from the time I got back. By this point in the course the lecturers don't break you in gently. My clinical placement started last week. One day a week at the clinical school at the local hospital for twelve weeks. I'm working with adults with aphasia (basically word finding difficulties and some comprehension problems). I'm sure eventually I'll look back at this experience as valuable and enjoyable, but at this point (I just finished my 2nd day) I'm just completely brain dead by the end of the day. I'd originally planned to be all st

Headcanon question out of curiosity,

If you were a wandmaker in the HP universe, what would your options be for wand cores and why?

I just kind of thought about it and went "Aw, poor dragons."

Hmmm, well I'd hope dragon heart strings would be extracted after the natural death of the dragon, although I doubt it...

All the wand cores come from different magical creatures, although the dragon heart string is the only one that would require the death of the animal. Oddly, Hermiones wand is made from dragon heart string. I wonder if she tried to get another when she got all into elf rights, or whether she didn't even think about it.
I guess I would pick unicorn tail hair, just because they make the most consistent and loyal wands.

Well I mean if you could create your own, as an alternative

. What magical plants, minerals or something do you think a vegan wandmaker would use?

...Also I realise there's the problem of sentient plants.

www.latimes.com/books/jacketco…

I'm looking at a list of plants in the wizarding world, and most are either used for wand wood or could be described as sentient. Also, a lot of them are labelled as endangered...I guess wizards are still at that point where they don't think about that stuff.
Looking through them I think what you could do is make a wand that's best suited to different situations or tasks. A wand could have rue or dittany if it was often healing. A werewolf could have a core of wolfsbane.
I guess they wouldn't be as much of the "wand choosing the wizard"
