Vegetarian recipes via Deanna and me (FD)
Almost a month ago, Deanna gathered together her vegetarian recipes; all in one post. I thought I'd post a link here for the benifit of anyone who reads my blog posts but not hers, and may want to check out some vegetarian recipes (either because of being vegetarian, or just wanting to cut down on the amount of meat in their diet, or whatever). One of the recipes is actually one I gave her when I did a guest post on her old blog a couple of years ago.
You may also want to check out these 11 ways to use roasted veggies; most of which are vegetarian friendly. It may be aimed at getting kids to eat their veggies, but that doesn't stop adults from enjoying the meals too!
Plus, don't forget, if you want to see my collection of vegetarian friendly recipes, check out my website's recipe section; most of the recipes there are vegetarian friendly.

Firkid Friday: words (FD)
Hi humans, rodent types, and anyone else reading this.
This is Jenks the degu.
I've heard humans say that they sometimes struggle to understand what the furries in their lives want. But, you know what? We have trouble understanding what humans want sometimes too. Especially when you humans stand there talking away to us, using words we haven't learned to make sense of.
Like you humans, we learn to understand some stuff after a while, just from observing your behaviour. However, I still often find myself turning to my brothers and asking them, "do you have any idea what they just said?" I get asked the same by them too, and our gerbil brothers and ratty sisters have the same problem.
As I said though, the beahaviour of our humans teaches us some word meanings, so we've learned to recognize certain words based on what happens after the human caretakers use them.
Here are some of our favourite words:
Nibbles - this word means something tasty is coming our way, and is our most favourite word out of all the words we know. Sometimes it will apply to the four words I'll be mentioning next, but other times it will mean our regular food, or some other kind of edible item. Either way, when we hear the word "nibbles" we all give the humans our attention immediately.
Cheerios - a favourite nibble of all of ours. I hear it's popular among humans too.
Oatmeal - another favourite nibble of all of ours, which is sometimes given to us by hand, and sometimes added to our food bowls.
Pasta - a hard treat we degus love, but which our ratty sisters and gerbil brother aren't too keen on.
Cheese - our ratty sisters' favourite nibble, but something we degus aren't allowed. When our ratty sisters and gerbil brother get the cheese stuff, we degus get pasta instead.
Sand bath - a metal tub filled with special sand stuff, where we degus get our dry bath... Fun to play in, as well as useful to get the oils out of our fur. Our ratty sisters and gerbil brothers don't play in one; the gerbils get extra sawdust to dig in instead, and the rats showed no interest when offered oppertunities to play in a sand bath, so the humans stopped bothering. We degus never could understand the rats' lack of interest... Sand baths are fun!
We do also recognize other words, like "TV" and "radio" for example. We also recognize our names, and the name of our species. Plus, the word "buddy" which is what the humans use - especially the Mummy human - when they aren't too sure which of us is trying to get their attention (this is especially used for us degus, since my degu brothers and I are tricky to tell apart unless you can get a good look at the markings on our noses). But the words listed above are our six favourite human words.
Squeak soon,
Jenks

R.I.P. Bilbo
Late this afternoon, we discovered that one of our gerbils, Bilbo, wasn't doing too well. He hadn't been completely himself since January, but he was really bad today: not very responsive, and showing no interest in any attempts we - or his gerbil brother, Baggins - were making to get him to interact with us.
As the evening wore on, he got worse, despite the best efforts of Kelly, myself, and Baggins. Then, a few moments ago, we found he'd slipped in to that final sleep... The one that would take him across the rainbow bridge.
Goodbye, little gerbil pal. You were a good gerbil, and you will be missed.

Crafty chatter - April 2016
I haven't updated you on craft projects for a couple of months, so figured it was about time I did so, especially since I've finnished a few projects. All small items, but still.
I mentioned in a previous craft related update - though I can't remember if it was at the end of last year, or the very start of this one - that I'd knitted a Westie, but hadn't sorted it out any eyes yet. Well, it has eyes now, so here it is:
I also made this knitted Westie head tree decoration, so we can have Kero as part of our Christmas decorations from now on:
After that, I decided to make a few more knitted decorations ready for when Christmas rolls around again.
A knitted bauble:
A knitted candy cane, and a small gift:
And a knitted stocking:
I actually made two sets of the bauble, candy cane, gift, and stocking. But I only got photos of one set. The other set is as identical as it's possible for handmade items to be. At least, in everything but size; the other set's slightly smaller. I don't have the other set any more though, since I gave them to my Mam. But this set I'm keeping for myself.

Haiku with an ocean theme, for National Haiku Poetry Day 2016
As you probably know, it's National Poetry Month this month. On top of that, as I was reminded this morning by this post by Annette Rochelle Aben, today is National Haiku Poetry Day.
In celebration, I thought I'd share a couple of my own haiku style poems, both of which were inspired by listening to the ocean at different times (though, I'm not sure why I'm bothering to say so, since you'd have easily figured that out by reading them).
Anyway...
This first one I wrote last year:

Boudicca, Britain’s Queen of the Iceni by Laurel A. Rockefeller - now available in multiple languages (including Welsh)
Boudicca, Britain’s Queen of the Iceni was the first book written in the Legendary Women of World History Series. Originally published 20 March 2014 in digital and paperback and 8 September 2014 as an audiobook narrated by Richard Mann, Boudicca has grown globally with editions published in English, Chinese, Italian and now Welsh!
Translated by Gwenlli Haf, Welsh language readers can finally enjoy this heroic story in the modern form of the very language Boudicca herself spoke. Available in both Welsh and side by side Welsh-English editions.
Book description:
Stori wir syfrdanol am arwres Prydain yn yr hen oes – ar gael i’w darllen yn Gymraeg a Saesneg mewn un gyfrol ddwyieithog!
Yn 43 OC mae Rhufain bron yn sicr o’u concwest dros Brydain – nes i Prasutagus, Brenin yr Iceni, ddigwydd cyfarfod caethforwyn o dras frenhinol llwyth yr Aedui yng Ngâl wedi iddi ddianc oddi wrth ei meistres Rufeinig. Newidiodd y cyfarfod hwn dynged Ynys Prydain am byth.
Yn berffaith ar gyfer dysgwyr Cymraeg a Saesneg, gallwch wella’ch sgiliau iaith wrth ddysgu am hanes Lloegr, Cymru, a’r Alban wrth i’r concwest Rhufeinig ledled Ynys Prydain uno’r llwythau rhyfelgar yn erbyn gelyn cyffredin.
Wedi’i ysgrifennu’n wych gan yr hanesydd Laurel A. Rockefeller, o gyfres Merched Chwedlonol yn Hanes y Byd, ac wedi’i gyfieithu i’r Gymraeg gan Gwenlli Haf.
The fascinating true story of ancient Britain's greatest heroine -- now told in both Welsh and English in one bilingual volume!
In 43 CE Roman conquest of Britannia seems all but certain -- until a chance meeting between King Prasutagus of the Iceni and a runaway slave of royal decent from the Aedui tribe in Gaul changes the fate of the British islands forever.
Perfect for students of both Welsh and English, improve your language proficiency while you learn about ancient England, Wales, and Scotland as the Roman invasions of the entire island unite enemy nations against a common foe.
Beautifully written by historian Laurel A. Rockefeller of the Legendary Women of World History Series and translated into Welsh by Gwenlli Haf.

Furkid Friday: one day, a storm will mean the end of the world
Hi humans, rodents, and anyone else reading this. This is Jasper the degu.
As anyone who knows me well will be able to tell you, I hate storms. I mean, i really, really, REALLY hate storms! I can always tell when one is coming, and get so upset even before it actually arrives that the human caretakers say I'm just like having their own personal storm warning system.
Some of the storms we've had in recent months though have been so bad that my other rodent siblings have been upset by them too. Even my ratty sisters - who enjoy sitting somewhere high up in their cage where they can see out of the window and watch the ocean, even when it's a bit rough - have been seriously upset by these storms, and by the size of the enormous waves the storms cause.
In fact, even the sea birds we always hear have been looking for shelter, or perhaps going elsewhere, during many of these storms. That in itself is worrying, since the smaller storms usually get them excited, and we hear them out there, doing whatever it is that sea birds do... Looking for nibbles, probably; the human caretakers say some kinds of storms make this easier for them. I don't understand why.
But, anyway...
Every time a bad storm comes, we're sure it will be the end of the world, or at least the end of us; sure it will tear the building apart, rip us from our cosy cages, and cast us out in to the unforgiving world. This hasn't happened yet. But every time a bad storm comes, we're sure that it will - this time. And every time it doesn't, we feel as though we escaped that thing you humans call the apocalypse.
I, especially, am positive that, one day, a storm will mean the end of the world.
I'm just crossing my paws that it isn't going to be any time soon...
Squeak soon,
Jasper

#Writing Wednesday - April 13th 2016
I didn't have a lot of luck with writing during most of March. But, as the month drew to a close, I was finally able to get a decent amount of writing done. I got "Zeena And The Phoenix" (the fourth, and final, book in my "Zeena Dragon Fae" series) to the re-writing and editing phases, along with the story I came up with during my trip to Wales. Plus, I wrote a couple of poems, and completed the first draft of another story, which I'll tell you more about some other time. So, March may not have started out well, but I made up for it in the last week or so of the month.
Now we're almost half way through April. This month has so far been spent focussing on the re-writes and edits for the stories mentioned above. Well, I'm focussing mainly on sorting the Zeena book, since I want to have that finnished soon; I hope to be able to publish that one in the next couple of months. But I have also started the first draft of an adventure story, and written a couple more new poems. So, a good start to the month, I think.
That's not all though!
The paperback version of "Rhubarb The Red-Nosed Rabbit" is now available to buy from CreateSpace and Amazon, and will soon also be available from Barnes & Noble, as well as a few other places that CreateSpace makes books available to. As usual, clicking on the book's title will take you to the CreateSpace page for it.
***
When I write the first drafts of my stories, I mostly just tell rather than showing. That's part of why I won't let people see my first drafts. Well, that and the huge number of typos, spelling mistakes, etc, that appear in my first drafts. But, anyway... It's only when I do the second draft that I take the time to show rather than tell. Not sure what I mean by this? Read this "show me" post; it will both explain what I mean, and provide you with some tips on how to do it yourself.
Also, here are 21 proofreading and editing tips for writers; ideal for if you do your own editing and proofreading, but also useful if you employ an editor and/or proofreader.
***
Do you write creative non-fiction? If so, this article contains some tips to help you stay out of trouble. It also explains what creative non-fiction is, for the benifit of anyone who isn't sure.
Or, if you write science fiction, you may want to take a look at these 43 must-visit sci-fi websites for writers, so that - among other things - you can make sure you get your facts right. Actually, if you have any interest at all in science, the advancement of technology, space exploration, and that kind of thing, you might want to go look anyway, since some of those sites seem to be quite interesting. Not to mention, some of them could be useful for other genres too... Like creative non-fiction, for example.
Alternatively, if you're writing for children - especially if you're writing rhyming stories for them - you might want to check out this post on how (not) to write a rhyming picture book.
***
Do you struggle to get everything done each day? If so, do you think some time management tips would help? If you answered "yes" to both of those, you might want to check out this time management toolbox. It's an excellent place to start... Writer or not!
Also, if you're getting stressed, and need to relax, try this meditation for writers (which, once again, you may find useful whether you're a writer or not).
Speaking of stressful things. These are things that bloggers need to stop getting stressed about, many of which apply to writing in general.

Interview with Madeline
I was recently interviewed by fellow author, Madeline Reynolds.
Maddy is a young writer, who is already a published author, despite her youth. And, for the record, I read her book "The Adventures Of Tamisin" last year, and it's really good; she could be something special one day!
Anyway, in case you missed seeing it, my interview with her went up on her blog yesterday (April 10th 2016).
