Comics Wrap-Up - Running Around Like A Clown On Purpose
OK, we got some Harley, we got some Joker, we got some other stuff going on.
It's Thursday, and it's time for that comics-y goodness!

Nerd Church - Dyscalculia (Part 1: What Is Dyscalculia?)
I've mentioned in passing before now that I have a learning problem - condition, disability, whatever you wanna call it - called dyscalculia.
So I figured it was about time (ha, you'll see why that's a pun soon,) that I let you know what that entails, and why that means I struggle with a lot of things that most people find easy.

So, what is dyscalculia?
In its simplest explanation, dyscalculia is the maths version of dyslexia.
It affects numeracy, rather than literacy, and also affects a lot of things related to mathematical ways of seeing the world that most people don't actually associate with maths.

Friday Fics Fix - HP Halloween Begins!
'Malfoy looks shocked, like a deer caught in headlights, nowhere to run and just staring wide eyed at Ron, pushing Harry towards him. Suddenly Hermione realises what Luna meant: the bet.'
It's October! Which means a whole month's worth of Harry Potter fanfiction, 'Friday Fics Fix' posts, here at Dora Reads!
(Because that way I can avoid Halloween-themed fics and therefore hopefully avoid reading things I can't un-read. 😅)

Comics Wrap-Up - With A Pad and A Pencil Sat By His Side
It's Thursday, and somehow I end up talking more about DC than Marvel this week! 😯
Still, let's get some comics-y goodness! 😍

Nerd Church - The Writer Diaries: Writing Vs Self-Care
While my aim is to write every day (y'know, like all the advice seems to say you should if you wanna be successful as an author,) some days I just can't.
That's not strictly true - I usually end up writing something in a day: blogging, tweeting, e-mails, work stuff, etc.
But I don't always manage to work on my work-in-progress (WIP) every day.

Friday Fics Fix - Light and Dark
'There was a noise somewhere but he couldn't make it out. He tried to call for help but it wasn't words, just a distressed sound and more tears.'
I love Oliver Queen, aka The Green Arrow, and the show he's the lead of - which is handily named Arrow. 😅
(Also handily, this was the first in the CW's DC series, known collectively as 'Arrowverse')
Oliver's had something of a rough life.
I mean, the first 20-something years were pretty sweet - he was the priviliged trust fund party-boy with little regard for what substances he was sticking in his body, and the feelings of his romantic partners.
(I was gonna make a dodgy pun there, but thankfully resisted. If you can figure out what it would've been, then you've probably read as much fanftiction as I have! 😅)
