February 2018 Dares
Guess what? It’s already the last day of January! Isn’t that beyond unbelievable? Why, I remember December 31st like it was yesterday. *ripple dissolve* Seriously, though, folks. I’m excited for February!* I don’t have a lot of great plans for the month, but I’m glad to be starting anew. A lot of things about January […]
Why Writers Should Be Bloggers
I bet y’all are wondering, “Why the sand? What does that have to do with blogging? Or writing? Or anything related to blogging or writing?” ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. It is the first stock photo that came up. It wasn’t even the BEST stock photo that came up! I AM SO GENIUS I SHALL TAKE OVER THE […]
September 2017 Dares & Summer Ends
A single tear slid down the girl’s pale cheek. Her lips trembled, and she breathed slowly, evenly to prevent her sobs from ripping from her throat. Her mascara, a sickly dark brown color, stuck to her lower eyelashes, giving the appearance of a tween who has no idea how to do her face. She picked […]
Moanings of a Brain Dead Teen
Yesterday was Easter, and now we have a very light week of school as my dad’s on vacation (#homeschoolcool). And let me tell you, I need it. My mind is a lot of spinning cogs and gears, all whirling a hundred miles a minute. When you throw in algebra mixed with shapes, ancient languages mixed with […]
In Which I Try to Improve Myself
A couple days ago, I drummed up a new schedule for my *clears throat important* personal improvement. I’m getting up at 6:30 every morning (except on the weekends). I’m going to bed at 10:30 (well, more like 11:30 … or later … but I’m trying). I’m getting all my jobs done earlier than I did […]
January 2017 Dares (and New Year’s Resolutions)
Wow. Can you believe that it’s 2017? I sure can’t. I mean, I can believe that it’s 2017 … I’m not, like, doubting its existence or anything, but … wow! 2016 was such an amazing year! Almost nothing went wrong. Almost everything went right. But now we’ve got to move on to a new year. […]
NaNoWriMo 2016 Update #4
I decided to do the post today as I doubt I’ll have time for one tomorrow – and I’ll be at the beach, anyway – and I obviously didn’t have time for one Monday! 🙂 At 44,594 words (and I haven’t written yet today), I’m zipping along at a pretty decent pace. Can I write 5,406 […]
NaNoWriMo 2016 Update #2
The first five times (yes, five!) times I wrote the title, I wrote ‘NaNoWriMo 2016 Updated #2.’ Consider yourself updated. *sports reference* *confirmation of points received* Yep. My fingers type with no regard to my brain sometimes … Back to our regularly scheduled programming, my word count has now reached 28o46 words. Some days I write more, […]
NaNoWriMo 2016 Update #1
At 14,588 words, I’m pretty proud with what I’ve accomplished this November so far. I think I could have done more … but there have been distractions. School, visiting siblings, an early Thanksgiving dinner, realizing that I haven’t touched my guitar in months and that the only song I practiced this year on my clarinet […]
Dark Eminence by Marguerite Vance
I wasn’t going to publish anything until after June 1, but this doesn’t really count as it was for school, and I was going to have to do it anyway. Dark Eminence by Marguerite Vance Catherine de Medici and Her Children I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it, but this school year (2015-2016), we’ve been […]
