Enter random blog post about a random subject!
I'm literally waiting for plaster to dry (on my model for a TAFE project), so what better way to pass the time than to blog about something. I was thinking of just posting this on tumblr and making it short and snappy but hey, we all know that's just a dumb waste of time. Let's make something of this.
This post is about: My Favorite Voices on the Planet.
This blog post is brought to you by (in no particular order):
1. JJ Field
You might know his voice from movies such as Death on the Nile and Captain America. Just listen.
2. Armie Hammer
You would have seen him twice in The Social Network. A little disappointing there's not really two of him, right? He probably has the most beautiful American accent in the world.
3. Emily Blunt
Best known for The Young Victoria and The Devil Wears Prada. A little trivia: she appeared in Death on the Nile alongside JJ Feild. I wish I sounded like this. And as I side note, I couldn't help myself and had to pick one of her interviews with Rupert Friend.
4. Alan Rickman
Obviously.
5. Emma Stone
If you are unfamiliar with films starring this girl, you need to crawl out from under your rock and watch Easy A and The Help, RIGHT NOW. I've heard some people say her voice is weird or that it's a put off, but it must be the American in me because I love it. Aaaaaand I'm so excited for this movie. SO EXCITED.
And speaking of Spiderman....
6. Andrew Garfield
Because I just love everything about him ok? And his little salute is so cute. *fangirls*

The Queen's Ladies
Good morning!
I don't have class until 5pm today so I decided to kick off the morning with a quick room-clean and then hit the keys for a good crack at Chapter Four. Normally I'm a bit OCD when it comes to cleaning my bedroom but I surprised myself by becoming so eager to get writing that there are still two large piles of clothes in here and dozens of books and papers scattered everywhere. Right now, I don't care!
I've been struggling with how to start Chapter Four. Elaine is supposed to meet with the House of Lords and make her little 'Now that I'm Queen...' speech, but I felt like that was too confronting an opening. I've finally come up with something that I like, and I get to hit two birds with one stone.
Throughout the other chapters I've had hopeless, brief mentions of Elaine's lady-in-waiting Evangeline, and yet I want her to become a strong supporting character later on. So far she isn't working; but I was watching The Young Victoria (top of my list for ways to get inspiration for my story) and remembered how Queen Victoria's companion was at first her childhood governess, and when she became Queen she switched over to a brand new team of ladies to wait on her. I'm going to take this concept and scratch out all Evangeline's mentions and give her her very own introduction in Chapter Four. It will be much smoother and the subject will aid the introductory conversation between Elaine and Lawrence. Perfect!
Right, off to get this lovely idea out of my head and into my book. Ta ta for now.
