Remember, you...Don't beat yourself up too much. Remember, you've already published a trilogy. You did that! You did the work. You set yourself a goal and stuck to it.<br />It's not always easy finding time to write as you're juggling a full-time job and other responsibilities. Even 500 words are still 500 words extra.<br /><br />Good luck!Els1985https://www.blogger.com/profile/11621168195956011647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366385969888572618.post-49908496004817404012022-01-28T20:29:05.544-08:002022-01-28T20:29:05.544-08:00Thanks for posting this to your blogThanks for posting this to your blogNora Blackhttps://www.norablack.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366385969888572618.post-81868865041528978422021-08-30T00:59:09.020-07:002021-08-30T00:59:09.020-07:00South Cadbury hillfort would have been his seat. I...South Cadbury hillfort would have been his seat. It was reoccupied and refortified in the late 5th century and is larger than any other hillfort of the era. Being in Somerset it would be under the control of Dumnonia, the region is surrounded by natural barriers that would restrict an invaders movements.<br /><br />You're mixing up your Gildas references. He does refer someone as a bear, but that king is ALIVE at the time of its writing nd one of the five he condemns alongside Maelgwn - other speculation is this person could be a son or nephew.<br /><br />The lack of reference in Gildas is easy to explain: he writes exclusively about leaders. Which Arthur was not. It is not until Geoffrey of Monmouth in 1135 that he is called a king. Welsh works simply call him a soldier, Nennius writing in the 9th century calls him a "dux bellorum", military commander, 'who led the kings of Britain in battle'.

It gives you a temporary boost of strength and alertness than can help you win games or pass through an exam.Negative stress is experienced through occurrences which seem to be negatively perceived by you. This occurrence gives you a negative energy, causing you to feel heavy and down but only for a short time.<br />While stress is a normal experience of a human being, there is a certain type of stress that should not be ignored. That stress type is called Chronic stress.Chronic stress is a recurring type of stress that happens over a long period of time. You may be feeling this already but still be ignoring it. If so, you are in danger my friend.Chronic stress is defined as body arousal continuing over a period of time. This type of stress however does not activate our body's ability to relax causing us to feel heavier.It can come from Anxiety, High Blood Pressure, Muscle Pain, Weakened Immune System or Insomnia.<br /><br /><br /><br />Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02657579558400734501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366385969888572618.post-31887148601647964582020-10-21T08:12:19.852-07:002020-10-21T08:12:19.852-07:00Excalibur

There was also some meteorite ore in Noricum; this “gift from the gods” yielded steel-nickel alloy tougher than steel alone. The officer would have commanded a unit of mercenaries from Sarmatia, east of Noricum. After earlier Roman-Persian wars, the Sarmatians had adapted the Persian cataphract style (we call knights). The steel sword seemed magically strong to the still bronze-age Britons and Saxons. Being thinner than bronze swords, it probably emitted a tone when swung, making it a "singing sword". On the officer's death, he was interred in the manner common in Britain at the time: laid a shallow peat bog lake with his weapons. The acidic peat was chosen because it preserved the body. The sword would be wrapped in oil cloth. Later, knowing its value, the widow brought the new king to the lake, went in and retrieved the precious sword and presented it to him. We know the king by his family name and the kings Arthur with descendants of the Sarmatians were probably the strongest force in post-Roman Britain. They would rule from a castle of Roman design, coated with white plaster - a shining bastion on a hill. Several Arthurian legends were drawn from Sarmatian folklore.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11193799495781534895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366385969888572618.post-10517777650793011992019-05-17T22:53:48.892-07:002019-05-17T22:53:48.892-07:00OMG, didn't even see your comment until now!! ...OMG, didn't even see your comment until now!!

You could try a recorded guided meditation if it'd help. I do a tree meditation daily (the idea of a forest always keeps me calm), and hang out in a garden I create for myself. It takes time, but if you look at it as a disciplined focus activity instead of a fearful game of losing yourself, i think you'll find it helpful everytime. Good luck finding your voice in your writing!
