Dreamworld Duology Book Reviews

I'm totally not doing this because I forgot to write any other post *shifty eyes* or because I forgot to do this last month when I actually read these books *coughs uncontrollably*

Obviously I am doing this because I am consciously aware of the fact that I hardly ever post reviews on this blog and am making an effort to change that. *nods* Yes that is definitely what it is*

*A note for the reader: that is not at all what it was


But anyway this week I will be sharing two reviews for a couple of b...

Farewell April

Not that I forgot, but yeah I totally forgot to write this post XD Phew, April was a whirlwind, but also it seemed to last forever and now I am convinced that I am living in some form of tear in the time space continuum where time is both fast and slow.

Life

Other than being completely boring, I haven't done much. Let's see, I worked. A lot. Allergies have been kicking my bum, but hey, who needs to smell out of both nostrils anyway? I'm still on my kinda-sorta internet break as in I'm not going...

The Language of Worlds Linkup: Alicia

In which I realize that April is almost over and I have yet to do this Linkup hosted by the wonderful Liv  So I guess you guys get two blog posts this week, lucky you.

Since this month was Camp NaNo, I decided to talk about my heroine from my project I've been working on this month, A Matter of Curiosity. Her name is Alicia Hareton and you are about to learn a whole lot more about her.

1. What's your character's favorite song?

Um, I don't think I gave Alicia a specific song that she enjoys?...

Camp NaNo- Week 3

I guess since I don't have any other post planned I'll talk about week three of Camp NaNo? I've managed to write 5k words since last week. Not a ton more, but for some reason my job likes me to work? Who would have thought that.

So... I'm not going to write 90k words this month. Big surprise there right? But, the story is coming along, even if it is excruciatingly slowly. Probably some of the reason that I am not getting as much written is because I legitimately have no idea what to write. I a...

Camp NaNo Update: Week 2

Spoiler alert: I SURVIVED. Unfortunately, my orderly writing system did not. Big surprise there (not really). Since when have I ever been orderly? And for my writing at the moment... it's pretty much a hurricane of colorful snakes. (if that didn't make sense to anyone, well then I think I described it accurately)

Or maybe I should describe it as a car that has been caught up in the grasps of a fiery tornado (never mind why I am suddenly obsessed with storms). It crashed and burned. Crashed and...

Wonderland Blog Tag

So... I was tagged a little while ago with this tag and since I'm working on A Matter of Curiosity book two in a duology inspired by Alice in Wonderland for Camp NaNo, I thought that now was the perfect time to delve into the twisted world of Wonderland.
The Wonderlander-ful Rules1. Link back and thank the person who tagged you. (Tagged by the fantabulous Merie Shen at https://imperialscribis.wordpress.com/)2. Link back to the creator of the tag, Catwing.3. Tag a random number of Won...

Celebrating the Beginning of my Blog//Three Months Later...

So last month I started gathering questions to answer for the celebration of my blog and now you get your answers.
-Would you like to learn a foreign language? If so, which one? Yess! I want to learn so many foreign languages. I guess if I had to chose only one it would be German since that's where my ancestors are from. But I also really want to learn Spanish, Russian, and French to name a few...

-What animal, real or fictional, would you want as a companion? I'm going to go with just fic...

Farewell March// Final chance to get your questions answered

Yes, I did change my blog's theme. I hope you all like it, but I'm tired of snow*. Spring is here you all even if it doesn't look like it.

*My sincerest apologies to all of the characters in my Winter Cursed series

Anyway onto my monthly wrap up, because I'm sure you've been so curious to learn what I've been up to.

Life

Not much going on there except that it's been busy. I've been working like crazy this month. Dear Kohl's, if you could stop scheduling me for five days a week that would be great...

The Rising Author Tag

So... I'm stealing this tag, but I was told to steal it from the person I'm stealing it from. Of course she was originally a thief, and things just sort of get messy from there, so we're going to move on to the questions...


1. What is the weirdest thing someone has ever said to you about your writing?
Well, my family keeps asking me how I can accidentally kill characters, which I've done before*. So probably that.
*And am deeply repentant about.
2. What is the worst thing you ever wrote?&nbs...

Bookish Meltdown Tag

I've been tagged! *runs around in circles like a headless chicken* I don't know if I've ever been officially tagged before. I steal my tags, and I don't know what to do when a tag comes to me via a legal means?

I decided to do the tag, though for a while it was between that or become a hermit and renounce the internet forever.

So without further ado, I give you the Bookish Meltdown Tag. <<<< and I don't think there have been two words to better describe me than bookish and melt...
