March Numbers & April Goals
~March Numbers~
In Real Life:
March is always a strange month. My birthday was at the beginning
(Yay, achievement unlocked: 29), my anniversary was at the end (2 years of
awesome!), and I had a trio of medical fun in between. Also, taxes.
Other than those four things, life was mostly normal. I
drank tea, I wrote and edited like it was going out of style, and I feel like
an unproductive

Reviews, Where Have You Gone?
You may have noticed that I haven't been reviewing books recently.
There's a pretty decent explanation for that... I haven't been reading lately. That fact will become abundantly clear tomorrow when I post my numbers for March and, well, the reading category will be absent.
This month was one of those strange ones where I literally read nothing. I was pretty consumed with writing work and all

How we got to Hazel & Gretel
I didn’t initially set out to write this series. As I’ve
mentioned before, Beauty & the Clockwork Beast was a thing I wrote for fun
and gave to my bestie for her birthday. It’s her favorite Disney fairytale. To
be completely honest, when I wrote it, I hadn’t anticipated publishing it at
all. But here we are, several drafts later.
And now book 2 is out *happy dance* and you may have read

Creating A Map Of Your World: Part 1
I’ve seen a lot of posts about how to make maps of your
fantasy worlds.
I thought today would be a good time to start sharing
mine.
This is a four part series, so hold on tight while I
spend the next 4 Mondays going through this.

How is March Almost Over?
With this, the final day in the second to last day of
March… I can guarantee, I’m not going to get a portion of my month’s goals
done. Right now, I’m at 47% complete. I still think I can make it to 91%... but
I’m definitely cutting my losses on a few things to make sure I get as much
done as possible in the time I have.
