Coming Soon!

I'm so excited about my next couple of blogposts that I am going to tell you what you can expect for topics! This could be a total error in judgment, but I can't stop myself because I'm stoked and wish I could post all these posts right now for your reading pleasure. Stupid Blog Schedule!

TOMORROW I'm going to be discussing the problems with birth order I've been stumbling across in HELEN regarding her twin brothers, Castor and Pollux, and the myths surrounding parentage and events. Seriously, it is much harder to determine who came first and how than you'd think.

FRIDAY I am going to be announcing my plans to celebrate 100 followers with: A BLOGFEST! with a PRIZE even! I will also draw attention to a new blogfest that is coming to us, also.

NEXT TUESDAY! (Yes I am that far ahead of myself. It was an accident.) I will be discussing Aphrodite's hair color-- a case study in character description issues in HELEN and my other books, because last night I started researching it, and all of a sudden it was 3am and I still did not have the answer. It also involved shopping at the Walgreens website, apparently, where I found this:
I'll leave you with this box of hair dye to consider until Next Week's fabulous Aphrodite post.

Rewriting HELEN seems to be good for the blog! Not so good for MY hair, because I feel as though I am spending a lot of time Pulling it out.

  1. Oh sweet Amalia, I think I'm as excited as you are! Another blogfest? YES PLEASE!!

    Also, that hair colour is divine. I can't research by browsing hair dye colours anymore because my hair tends to end up that colour since I may or may not buy the dye.... *whistles* Trying really hard to stick with brown hair but that colour looks so pretty ... :~)

  3. Haha! Mia! DIVINE Hair Color?! APHRODITE?! I don't know why, but that makes my day :)

    Yeah, I don't think I could get my hair to that shade without bleaching, though, which is a sad story. I am anti-bleach for coloring. But I haven't dyed my hair since college, and probably never will again. I am too lazy for hair dye :)

  5. Hooray for blogfests! Can't wait to hear more.

    Red hair always struck me as otherworldly awesome, so I'm eager to hear what you have to say about it.

  7. Laurel: Red hair was probably more common in antiquity than blond, honestly.
