Comics Wrap-Up - From the Fading Light I Fly
I don't know whether there's just a lot of superhero/comics stuff this week, or if I've just rambled on more than usual... maybe both! 😎

Nerd Church - Save the World
With the world the way it is (*looks out at trash fire and sighs*) the major issue our planet is facing is in danger of being pushed to the side-lines.
But we need to focus on climate change.
Because, contrary to what the loud handful of naysayers say, we are wrecking the planet.

Friday Fics Fix - Magical Matilda
'Her lips pursed into a nearly invisible line. “And I feel obligated to let you know that Wormwood is a Wizarding name, while Honey most certainly is not.”'
Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Sant Hapus/Happy St. David's Day!
St. David is the patron saint of Wales - he doesn't have as interesting a story as Santes Dwynwen, he basically faffed around founding churches and doing the odd miracle here and there - but it gives me an excuse for a Welsh connection to this post!
(And you probably know that any excuse to include Wales in a post is good enough for me!)

Nerd Church - The Writer Diaries: Relocating Cymru
If you're familiar with this blog, you're probably aware that I'm Welsh.
(If not, then how on Earth have you managed to miss that? That's actually impressive!)

We win flags, ok? |
So it may come as something of a shock to you that in the past I've rarely, if ever, set stories in Wales.
Nope.
In fact, I was more likely to set a story in London than Cardiff - and I've never set foot in London.
History nerd that I am, I probably know more about London 150 years ago than I do London today.
