Angel tattoo designs are gaining popularity

Gambar
Angel tattoos are probably the most common designs for women worldwide. Angel tattoos can be versatile and may be used to create unique designs in a lot of different ways. Angels are thought to be one of the most beautiful heavenly creatures and represent different ideas to different individuals. Professional tattoo studios typically have a number of angel tattoos to pick from and each might possibly be altered into whatever design you'd like.

Well, it is near two weeks since the peep of the year and have you heard anything from me..?! I am very chuffed to break silence (as it were), do as others have done and post up a shortlist from the up and coming Cybils Awards in my own chosen genre, Fantasy & Science Fiction : Cabinet of Wonders written by Marie Rutkoski , Macmillan Graveyard Book written by Neil Gaiman , HarperCollins Magic Thief written by Sarah Prineas , HarperCollins Savvy written by Ingrid Law , Penguin USA Airman written by Eoin Colfer , Hyperion Curse Dark as Gold written by Elizabeth C.

Average Daily Word Count

... or AWDC - as I have just cunningly coined it. I am going to reveal this knowing full well there are many authors out there who do a goodly bit more in a day - and my publishers will be crying "Write faster, dang it!", yet since fellow word-wrestler R.J. Anderson has asked I shall dare to admit: 1000 words/day *wince* I have had brilliant days of 1500+ (even 2700 one day) but when all is averaged, time searching through all my notebooks for the right snippets of information and periods a.f.k. (away from keyboard) are included (including several trips interstate) it works out to the above. If you want to go on the usual word count I achieve on the days I actually write it creeps up a little to about: 1300 words/day or so. I feel a bit better about that. I hope this helps Ms Anderson - how does it compare? Dare I ask what ADWCs do you other writers achieve?
