Great story, beautiful use of language, and a fantastic fantasy world. A great start to what I’m sure is a great story arc. 5/5

Warlocks Angels and Warriors by Luciana Correa
This book was better than I thought it would be. I know that sounds weird I was not sure about this book when I started it but I was not sure what gave me that thought. But it was not needed at all! This book about angels and fallen angels and devil worshipers and start crossed love had me wanting to read more. I was wondering through out the book what was going to happen next. * I receive this book from the author in exchange for an honest review* 4/5

Day 78 of 90: #Routine #ASMSG #IARTG #IAN1 #SupportIndieAuthors #Inspiration
Routine is something I’ve talked about a lot, but only indirectly. As the son of a military man, my father was a Master Sergeant, I think routine came built into my life. It’s interesting when I look at the world around me, and I find so many people that lack the basic structures I have lived with all my life. It’s even better when I turn it on myself, and recognize my lack of organization, which could be holding me back from greatness.
A routine can really help you, and you may already have one whether you know it or not. You have a job, a place of work that you have to be at specified times. It becomes a force of habit to go to work, knowing that at the end of the time you’ll be compensated in a way that allows you to support yourself. This is routine.
However, if you look at your life outside of your job, how much routine do you have? I never really asked myself this question until I hurt my back. Before I was injured, I realized the routine I had fallen into was one that didn’t fit me. My health suffered because of this. I had things I had to do, people I had to see, places I wanted to go, but I didn’t have structure to do it. It was hiddly piddly, only as I thought of it. But I wasn’t compelled enough to change it yet.
Once I hurt my back, these things became much more regimented, and yet at the same time I found myself with even less structure. I still suffered for this, my moods were wild, I had swings in temperament. It wasn’t until I started adding structure to my life that things started to make sense in my head.
When I started planning ahead, and finding the path I wanted to take things started to fall into place. When I started considering the consequences of my actions, and knowing how the outcomes would affect other people, other people started to consider how their actions affected me. I started to think of what I wanted and where I wanted to be. And then I started writing. One word at a time my friends, that’s how our stories are built!
