HELLLLLLOOOO! March hit me hard. Like, really hard. And I have a ton of catchup. But let’s take some time to write a quick recap even though I’m dead inside.
On a sidenote, CAMP NANO IS HERE! And I am so excited! I changed my project Monday to finishing up the Kees & Colliers series because I am so far behind, but that’s what’s gotta happen.
I cannot seem to get over this terrible cold/flu, and I’m swamped with work, but … ugh. My outlook is not positive but that doesn’t mean this post shouldn’t be. SO LET’S GET INTO IT.
March 2019 Recap

I did a lot of editing on From Now ‘Til Forever and The Lady of the Vineyard and clinked away at Alone in Berlin and Flowers in Her Heart. I’m going pretty slowly with Souls Astray.

I don’t mind a short post! I hope you get better soon… And keep working on those dates! XD
I’m keeping on working on it! 😛 It’s a clinging illness, but yeahhh … 😉
Dare to not die.
That would make a rather good title, dontcha think? 😀 And I have no clue how on earth you’re so productive. Carry on fellow writer!
Haha! Yepppp, that would be a cool title! 😛
Haha, awww, thank you!
Howwww?? Girl…how is your “failed” dares so much more productive than my accomplishments XD Like you’re a super hero over there!
My sister’s wedding was in March and I basically did school and work all month. I do plan on watching Unplanned, but probably not in theaters just because I have a hard enough time stomaching the idea of abortion, and I don’t think I could survive the movie without a breakdown. My birthday is May, so I say summer, though I believe technically it’s spring…But in TX..it’s summer. Lol
Hope you feel better Kellyn! Best of luck on your writing and reading dares! I’m sure you’ll get them!
LOL! I guess? 😛 I don’t see it that way, but whatever you see. 😉
Nice! I honestly don’t think it was that gruesome or anything, but yeah. Cool!
Interesting updates!! I’m not being mean or anything, but it was actually nice to see you fail. XD!! It’s only because you’re always ontop of it, and I look at myself and realize I could be much better. Haha!! And now I feel bad….
Hope you make your other goals! 😀
LOL! That’s fine. We can’t always have great months, haha. 😉
In March, I did not die. *goal reached* *is ecstatic* I think every movie I’ve watched recently has been produced by Disney, from superheroes to princesses. It’s been great. XD
I’m sorry you’re not feeling well! Perhaps stress is contributing to it? (Just a random thought; I like to blame everything on stress.)
Haha, great job!
LOL, I don’t think so, unless my parents and brother all are similarly stressed … it’s just a bad sickness. 😛
That sounds awful! I’ll be praying for y’all!
Aw, thank you!
