Now, as you know from my previous post I decided to make soap, and I laughed in the face of the family outcry. Granted in the end they were right and I was exhausted, but nevertheless we ended up with soap. Yes people, real gorgeous soap. So from The Decision link http://bitly.com/UuHUpx I took this pic on my kitchen counter so this counts as Before the event. 
I then moved on to waiting for the courier driver to deliver. Boy, can a day seem a looooong time when you’re waiting for a courier. So it’s pretty easy to understand that once my supplies arrived I was ready to start soap making the moment I opened my box of goodies. But sanity prevailed and sustenance was taken before I ventured into the unknown wilds of rose petal soap creation. After mixing, adding fragrance and stirring to just the right moment, real roast petals joined the Shea butter soap mix and I poured the mixture into the mould. And this is what I got. 
Next came waiting and we all know how I love waiting – I’m doing enough of it as it is. Anyway, an hour of cooling later we had soap, that within minutes was cut and arranged for their first photo shoot as real bars of soap. 
Now of course we need a giveaway for all those soap lovers out there… And so it shall be! The giveaway will run from 15th November to 15th December with winner to be announced the week before Christmas. Winner will receive: One bar of Bryn’s Rose-petal encrusted Asgard Shea-Butter Soap. 
One Replica of Bryn’s Amber Brisingamen Pendant, 
One swag pack containing bookmarks and book cards all signed for both DEAD RADIANCE & DEAD EMBERS.

Until I thought about it I hadn’t realised that I do have a few ‘writing quirks’. Amazing what you figure out when you are forced to examine your process.
To start off with, I always need a good pen- my favourites is a LAMY Ballpoint – a gift from my dear friend Kim.
Because I am so easily distracted by emails, the Facebook and the Twitter, I prefer to go through them before I start writing, otherwise it will just bug me and mess with my concentration.
Part of my routine is to chat with my 2 writing buddies Patti and Cassie- we chat several times a day every day on Skype- have word wars and sometimes do butt-kicking duty
I must have my chap-stick right beside my keyboard; I hate having to get up and go look for it. – No, I’m not lazy, just focused!
A bottle of water- absolutely necessary. Gotta rehydrate people! Well, to be honest if I don’t have the bottle right in front of me, I will forget to drink water too- yup, its that bad!
I usually make my lunch when I prepare the family lunches every morning. So it’s all wrapped and ready to eat when lunchtime comes around. If I have to do more than unwrap and chew then I get annoyed and might not eat lunch at all- which is definitely a bad thing.
A pair of fingerless gloves in winter.
Writing music- During the day, when the house is empty I write without music, unless the neighbours are yelling or annoying me with their own loud music or screaming kids. Then I use my music to drown them out. Once my girls are home, and because my ‘study’ is located in my lounge, I drown out extraneous sounds by sticking my earphones in my ears. Of course, when I am writing an intensive action or emotional scene I listen to Linkin Park or Daughtry or Melody Gardot- whatever suits the scene.
Editing music - When I am editing, my music preference is different. When I first started writing I used to listen to a playlist of all the Coldplay CD’s I owned. Now, for some reason, I always use that CD to edit to. It’s calming, and not intrusive enough to mess with my concentration while I edit.
I don’t snack while I write, amazing ideas come to me in the shower and I have an aversion to my treadmill which happens to occupy space in my study and which I just happen to not use on a daily basis. And that’s it as far as I can think of.
