My Favorite Fandom Ships (2020 Edition)
Happy Valentines Day!
[image error]I feel like I’m going to regret this…
We’ll have to update this next year, of course. Or at least the next Valentines that we can’t come up with original content.
Disclaimer: There will be some spoilers. (Fandoms listed are Harry Potter, The Lunar Chronicles, and A Series of Unfortunate Events.) And these aren’t all my ships, because otherwise we’d be here all night.
Well…
Time for a feels trip.
Let me know in the comments if you want a post on the fangirl vocabulary.

The Top Ten Ultimate Fangirl Problems
Welcome, readers!
[image error]Yes, my fellow fangirls. This one’s for you. We all know the difficult life we lead… It is worth it though, LOL. But today it is time to highlight our ultimate struggles. Now, let us reopen the dark pit that is our emotions and reveal our deepest struggles…
1. When you’ve arrived in the fandom at least 6 months late…
WHAT DID I MISS????
2. When you have to wait for new content
3. Ship wars. Need I say more?
I WILL GO DOWN WITH THIS SHIP
4. When your OTP does literally...
A Beginner's Guide to Self Publishing
Greetings, dear friends!
Ah, self publishing. Where do I start? Well, I’ll start by saying that this isn’t going to be an in depth guide. There may be one in the future, but this one is to give you a brief introduction so you can decide if you want to look into it more. So, without further ado, let’s dive in!
So, you’ve finished writing your first draft. It isn’t pretty, but you know once it’s cleaned up a little you’ll be ready to send it out into the world. What are you going to need to...
Contentment With Reality: Book Review of Criss Cross by Lynne Rae Perkins
Whenever I looked for new books to read, I always saw Criss Cross, but I never picked it up until now. It never particularly stood out to me, but the more I saw it, the more intrigued I was by it’s quiet, patient demeanor. And yes, I know that sounds really strange, but hear me out.
When I finally did check it out, it waited on my bedroom floor while I engrossed myself in the other 15 books I got. It waited until I was ready, and when I was, it captured my heart.
From the moment I opened the...
Excerpt From The Little Mermaid's Legacy: Natalie 2.0
Dear Readers,
Happy Tuesday! Today I figured I would post an excerpt from Natalie 2.0, as I haven’t released any of my more recent works in a while. It will at least help me feel better to know that other people will be able to see the improvement I’ve noticed 
Now What? Post NaNoWriMo 2020
Hi Readers!
NaNoWriMo 2019 was INSANE. This year I met my goal of 25K words (I up it by 5K every year, having started with 10K), but, as usual, the question of “now what” haunts me. I know what I want to do… but the road to get there is another thing entirely. So let’s discuss: what is my “Now What?” 2020 going to look like?
The first thing that needs to be addressed after NaNo is what you want to do with your draft. There’s a lot of options, and I’ll address them in another post, but...
The Hamilton Book Tag
Hey Readers!!!
I present to you… the Hamilton Book Tag! What could be more perfect than reading, history, and musicals combined? (Well, okay, some things, but this is pretty cool!) Since I saw the show in October, I have been listening to it non-stop and my love for musical theatre has only gotten stronger. What better way to rant about it than to make a blog post?
