Irrelevant reflections before class

...isn't it interesting how, the instant you need to do something requiring the dormitory internet, it goes on the blink? That was last night. It was fun! And by that I mean I went "Stuff this!" and went to sleep instead. 

Or consider socks. I don't know if this is common, but I live in a state of constantly needing new socks. I'm not sure how I do this; I buy enormous quantities of the things, but somehow I never have enough, and all of them have holes in the toes. It's tempting to propose shoe-monsters living in the toes of my sneakers as the culprits. 

Or how the amount of work you get done on a given day is inversely proportionate to the amount of time you have free to get said work done. That's loads of fun too! 

In other words, things are proceeding as crazily as usual and I really ought to be going to class. 

Hello!

I'm Isobelle Winter, a student and writer. I've just placed my first book, Weather, a steampunk young adult fantasy novel with Eternal Press, and so have had to dive into the weird and whacky world of online marketing. This seems to involve creating more online accounts than I can shake a stick at, and so the keen observer, peering at the sidebar of my blog, should be able to discern links to terribly fascinating places such as Twitter and Tumblr and Facebook, where one may see the shenanigans I get up to when I ought to be editing, studying, working in the laboratory, or all three.

I like hedgehogs and caramel, the former because they are absurdly cute, the latter because it is delicious. I'm fond of food in general, so I ought to be talking about that a lot. I also hope to post bits and pieces about the whole 'getting published' thing, as soon as I sort my brains out from the surprise of it all!
