Introducing My New WIPs

Yes I've lost my mind

So, I said last week that I was probably going to be starting two new projects, and that I'd try to announce them soon. Well, here we are. Who here is dying of excitement to learn what my new projects are? How many here are shaking your heads at me *glares at my sister*? How many of you are like me and actually fall into both categories?

So, yes, I know I kinda work on a lot of books at once. Believe me, I am well aware of that fact, but the majority of the books that I'm...

Farewell February// Birthday Book Haul

Spring is in the air. Or at least, it was earlier this month. It's a little cold right now, but at least the snow has been coming out more and the birds are returning. And now February is at a close, and technically it's March now, but I couldn't leave February without saying farewell.

Life

I turned nineteen which was... scary. I still think of myself as a kid even though I'm becoming a full fledged and responsible adult. Other than that, there isn't much to comment on. I worked, I drew a lot,...

February is Fantasy Month Final Week//

Welcome to my final February is Fantasy Month post. How many of you are sad to see it end? How many of you are thinking "finally"?

One last post and what better way to do it than to take part in the fantasy favorites blog tag?

Pictures gotten from Pinterest and Goodreads respectively.Rules:Thank the blogger who tagged you. Thanks Jenelle for coming up with all of these awesome questions. Also for hosting February is Fantasy month. It's been fun!Include the graphic somewhere in your post.Answer...

Live Without You by Sarah Grace Grzy Blog Tour// Review

So, I kinda forgot that I signed up to do this? Fortunately, I put a reminder on my computer so crisis averted.

Anyway, on to the book. It's by my good friend Sarah Grace.
Today actually happens to be her birthday so happy birthday, my girl!


Sarah Grace Grzy is a voracious reader, and if it weren’t for this crazy thing called 'Life,' she’d be tempted to spend all her days in front of a wood stove, book in one hand, coffee mug in the other. 

A lover of learning, she finds enjoyment in many th...

February is Fantasy Month Week 3// Plots

So yeah, this is a little last minute. When I tried to start writing this post yesterday, my page wouldn't load and then I forgot. *coughs* Anyway, welcome to week three of February is Fantasy Month. Congratulations to everyone who made it this far.

This week I will be talking about plots. As a character driven author (I think I mentioned that once or twice during my last post about characters) plots take a bit of a back seat for me. But that doesn't mean that they aren't important, because it...

February is Fantasy Month Week Two// Characters

So, I can't really believe that a whole week has passed already. We are now on week two of February is Fantasy Month. In this post I will be discussing characters. I'm a very character driven reader and writer, which means I feel very strongly on this subject.

Okay, before we go any further, I have an admission to make. I love assassins and thieves and princes and queens and pirates. Mercenaries are a particular weakness of mine. But no matter how much I will be intrigued by a character by hea...

February is Fantasy Month: Week 1// Genres

Hello, everyone, welcome to February and in case you didn't know, February is Fantasy month! Which of course, I'm super excited about because I love fantasy. So every Wednesday this month (I'm thinking Wednesday will be my set day for posting on this blog since it seems to be the day I get off the most, but I suppose we shall see in this trial run if it works out), I'm going to talk about fantasy themes. Today I'm going to be discussing the different genres counted in fantasy!

There is much mo...

Farewell January// Hello Opportunities

So... January is at an end. And I'm surprised to say that it flew by so quickly that I'm still wondering where it went. That's actually really weird for me, because January is usually the looongest month of the year for me. But not this January. This January is over before I even knew that it began.

The end of this month also marks the end of my first month blogging and I'm not really sure what I should do so I decided to do a monthly wrap-up since I've seen some blogs doing that.

Life
I started...

Language of Worlds Linkup// Announcements

Okay, so this is actually my first Language of Worlds Linkup I've done even though I've been meaning to do this since Liv first started it *whistles innocently* Now that I have a blog I no longer have an excuse to forget to write it (or put it up). And so without further ado, I give you the language of my worlds.

I chose my Irish faerie story Of Gold and Iron for this linkup since I've been doing a ton of editing in that of late. And I actually found an old document where I had begun to a...

Amar// Collages, Updates, and More!

I promised a post about Amar now didn't I? And since I'm working five days next week I don't really know if or when I'll have time for that, so I'll just put this post up now.

I know with the upcoming release of A Winter Grim and Lonely, that I haven't really been focusing on Amar and while that is true, that doesn't mean that nothing has been happening over there.

First of all, a little bit of an update. I know maMy Time in Amar book two. Believe me, I'm pretty impatient myself. I really wante...
