Once Upon A Time 2 Poll

Hi all,

So I figured I'd gage a reaction on how many people are interested in doing the Once Upon A Time 2.  I've decided that if we can get at least 10 people interested I'll go ahead with the last preparations to get OUAT2 ready to post in the first few days of June.

There are only a few days left to get your ideas etc in to me so please email me at charlie@myalteregocharlie.com!

So Please comment below. (I've had to remove the poll as it is glitching with my website sorry!)

Once Upon A Time 2 Ideas

Hi All,

Thanks to Susan (http://www.susankmann.com) for contacting me via Twitter this morning.  It has pushed me to get my butt back into gear for the next Once Upon a time Competition challenge.  I hope you all enjoyed the last Once Upon a Time because I did.

I won't be putting up the details just yet on Once Upon a time 2 but keep an eye out on this blog around the 1st of June because that's when I'll be posting up the details.  So far this will run over the next six months.  I found that last time with it running every few weeks alot of people decided not to enter as with a busy life it didn't allow them time to really put their best work forward.

Just like last time I will be giving away the end book to the 1st prize winners as well as giving everyone who has had their story put into the book, the opportunity to purchase this book so they too can have a copy.  Like last time it will be the cost of making the book plus shipping that you will be paying for (No profit will be made off this book.  That's the number one rule of this competition)

Towards halfway through the competition I'll be holding the Book Cover Contest where you will be given the chance to have the front and back of your Covers displayed on the final product and you will also be given a copy of the book once it has been published.  This contest will run for the remaining three months of Once Upon a Time to give you enough opportunity to design an awesome cover.

Last time I had other bloggers help me choose a winner.  This year things will be a little different.  As I was having trouble getting responses from some of the bloggers in time to announce the winner, I'll be leaving it up to you readers to pick the story.  And the one with the most votes wins.  So please spread the word of this competition.

If you have any suggestions or ideas regarding Once Upon A Time, please either comment below or shoot me a line at charlie@myalteregocharlie.com . I'll be taking suggestions up until the end of this month (May) so please send me a line.

Oh yes, and this year Once Upon a Time will be held on My Alter Ego Charlie, not Spellbound By Books.

Thanks everyone, I look forward to your stories!

Charlie's Ramblings (50) What I've been doing

So my attempts at cooking are slowly getting better. I've attempted a number of things including potato bake (Which when previously attempted found out the potato was still raw lol) and rissoles which the first ones fell apart.  But like I said.. I'm doing better.

I'm on my last assignment on my photography course.  I've been doing quite well surprisingly and with the last one involving six of my best photos for my portfolio I've been really focused on organizing some photoshoots so I can test out the skills that I've learned and hopefully produce some really good photos.  It's all a learning process.

I don't know about anyone else but I've found I may have an addiction to tv shows!  Arrow, The Beauty and the Beast, Hannibal, Elementary, Grimm, The Following.  See.. this is where alot of my time is going lately.

I've also watched a few movies in the last couple of days.  The Host - I think I cried a lot in that movie, The Guilt Trip - a mix of happy and sad, The Company You Keep.  

Sometimes I wish there were more hours within a day!

Songs I'm Lovin' (9) Small Bump

Songs I'm Lovin' is a new little feature that I'll be bringing up from time to time that will include the film clip and the lyrics of a song I'm lovin' right now. Sometimes I'll even point out my favourite part of the lyrics that caught my attention!  Feel free to join in!

Just last weekend I got to see Ed Sheeran in concert at the Riverstage in Brisbane.  It was AWESOME!  This is one of my absolute favourites of the ones he sung!

[Verse 1]You were just a Small Bump unborn, in Four months you're brought to life,You might be left with my hair, but you'll have your Mother's eyes,I'll hold your body in my hands be as gentle as I can, but for now you're scan of my unmade plans,Small bump four months you are brought to life[Bridge]and ill whisper quietly, I'll give you nothing but truth,If you're not inside me, I'll put my future in you[Chorus]you are my one, and only.You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.you are my one, and only.You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.And you'll be alright.[Verse 2]You're just a small bump unknown, you'll grow into your skin.With a smile like hers and a dimple beneath your chin.Finger nails the size of a half grain of rice.And eyelids closed to be soon opened wide a small bump, in Four months you'll open your eyes.[Bridge][ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/small-bump-lyrics-ed-sheeran.html ]and I'll hold you tightly, and tell you nothing but truth,If you're not inside me, I'll put my future in you[Chorus]you are my one, and only.and You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.you are my one, and only.You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.And you'll be alright.[Verse 3]and You can lie with me, with your tiny feet when your half asleep, I'll leave you be.Right in front of me for a couple weeks.So I can keep you safe.[Chorus]Cause you are my one, and only.You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.you are my one, and only.You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.And you'll be alright.[Verse 4]cause You were just a small bump unborn for four months then torn from life.Maybe you were needed up there but we're still un-aware as why.
