I’m Back!! | Life Update/2023 Wrap-Up
Hey, everyone!! I am back! I know it’s been an extremely long time; I didn’t mean to disappear for ten months but life got busy, and blogging took a seat on the back burner.

Here’s a quick rundown of the major things that have happened since last March and how my life is going now: Last school year:✈️ I went to Chicago for a…

July 2022 Camp NaNoWriMo Wrap-Up
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. It’s been a wild few days. I got back from summer camp on Friday and spent the weekend adjusting to being back at home.

Anyways, today I’m sharing a wrap-up for July Camp NaNoWriMo which I participated in last month. How the month went Overall, the month went really well.

Mid-Month July 2022 Camp NaNoWriMo Check In
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. For the past couple weeks, I have been participating in July Camp NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month).

How’s it going so far For those of you don’t know what I’m working on, I’m writing draft 4 of my current WIP, Of Moonflowers and Myths. I talked about it in my Pretty Deadly Words #2 post, which has a lot of details about it. I haven’t participated in a NaNoWriMo challenge since last…

My Experience with Camp NaNoWriMo | Looking Back on my Goals and What I Accomplished
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. Camp NaNoWriMo ended a little while ago and I wanted to take a little time to see what I accomplished during the month. Although I didn’t reach my goal, I think I was still able to make a lot of progress on my WIP. How did writing go and did I reach my goal? Writing this draft went pretty well. I decided to handwrite it because I was spending so much time on a screen already, I needed to have something that didn’t involve an electronic device. I think handwriting forced me to slow down a little and really think about what…

Top Ten Tuesday: Resolutions/Goals for 2021
Hey everyone! Today I’ll be doing another Top Ten Tuesday. Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl where there is a topic and you make a list that best fits it. This week’s topic is Resolutions for 2021. READING GOALS: Number of books: I’d like to try to read at least 75 books this year. I’m the kind of person who reads one book at a time and the books I read usually have a few hundred pages in them, so I don’t read as many. Genre of books: I want to start expanding the different genres I read. I mostly read…
