August Wrap-Up | School Starts and my Reading Plummets
This year just keeps flying by! We’re through eight months and I’m already in my fourth week of school. It’s been a bit difficult to adjust back to school, especially since I have to wake up at 6 am. We’ve only been learning for about two weeks (our first week was a lot of ‘get to know you’ things and simple stuff), but I’ve already had a few quizzes. I mean, it is junior year, so maybe I shouldn’t be surprised. BOOKS READ Well, that number went down. In my defense, I went to summer camp at the beginning of August for five days and had literally no time to…

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. I’ve been in a bit of a post-camp slump; coming back home after camp is a bit sad. Camp is this whole world where time works differently and then it’s all over. 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. I worked on draft 4 of OMaM and made a lot of progress. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to finish the…

July Wrap-Up | Summer Break is Already Over?
I have exactly nine days until school starts. When did summer break become so short? This summer has flown by and I can’t believe that I’m beginning junior year next Tuesday. It’s crazy to think that I’m already halfway through high school. It feels like only yesterday that I was in online schooling freshman year. July was a pretty busy month for me so I didn’t get to read as much as I would’ve liked, but still got some decent reading in. Let’s go over what I read! BOOKS READ We Were Liars (We Were Liars #1) by E. Lockhart (reread)|📖|★★★.5After rereading this, I realized some things that I didn’t…

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). I thought it would be fun to do a mid-month check in to see where I’m at so far and maybe set some goals for the rest of the 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…

June Wrap-Up | Pride and Permits, Books and Braces
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. I hope everyone had a good Pride Month! I had a very busy first month of summer break, with lots of different things happening. Overall, June wasn’t a bad month. I got a lot of reading done and was able to stay on track for some academic-based stuff I’m working on. Let’s go over what I read! BOOKS READ The Ghosts We Keep by Mason Deaver|📖|★★★★★I love how grief was explored. It highlights the fact that everyone experiences the loss of someone differently and how grief isn’t something that can be predicted. Liam’s journey after their brother’s death was messy and Mason…

April Wrap-Up | A Month of Reading and Music
There is only one month and three days until I am finished with my sophomore year of high school. That is kind of scary to think about. It does not feel like it’s been two years since I graduated from eighth grade. Like, where did the time go? At the same time though, last semester feels like it was so long ago. It’s weird. April was a busy month for me, with a lot going on. I got some good reading in though, which I’m happy about. BOOKS READ I had a pretty good reading month, with 5 months. However, I got my first DNF in a really long time.…
