Wind-down Wednesday

Boy, the Lets Talk blogfest was fun yesterday, and now it's another Wednesday. Who doesn't need a mid-week wind-down? I know I definitely do.

So far this week I've:

• Submitted my second last assignment (hey, I even had half an hour to spare... I'm doing good).
• Passed an exam (since I decided that last minute studying and didn't open my books till the night before the exam that's fantastic).
• Discovered 15 year olds *gasp* "Don't like to read"... how to teach them about a book if they won't read it is beyond me.
• Decided to finally get started with my new superheroes novel. At the moment it's got the most original name in the world... "Heroes" (memo to self: I definitely need to change that).
• And figured out there's not enough hours in the day (also, you need more than 4-5 hours sleep to be able to stay awake in a Maths class... I don't think a teacher falling asleep in the back of the class will look good).

 There are plenty of contests out on the blogosphere at the moment:

• A new website called the League of Extraordinary Writers, established by a group of debut authors who write Science Fiction and Distopian YA novels is giving away a prize pack that consists of signed books, bookmarks and magnets.
• Kathy Bradey over at Once Upon a Time in Writer Land is giving away several Amazon gift certificates.
• Creepy Query Girl is holding a Spoof Query Contest in which a 30 page critique is up for grabs. All you have to do is query for an already established book or movie, but with one catch. You have to write a query the worst possible way. Use everything you've learnt shouldn't be done.

Well, I hope everyone's Wednesday is going great guns. As a finishing note I'll leave you with another funny video I found by the author of Sisters Red, Jackson Pearce.
