Writing:

NANOWRIMO
The doom is impending....

It's almost the end of September and that means we are gonna be only one month away from November. That means NANOWRIMO time! For those who don't know NANOWRIMO stands for National Novel Writing Month. You spend one month (the month of November) trying to make it through writing a novel or at least 50,000 words of one. If' you've been following my blog for sometime you know that I've been trying to work on a story. I've been planning on writing this story for this years NANOWRIMO. I actually haven't wrote any of the real story what I have been doing is working on a backstory and my characters. I'm planning on spending October finalizing my planning and organization of my novel. Mainly: I want to be done making my playlist on Spotify, putting all my notes in order, and having my outline fleshed out.

I think these things will help me immensely! I've participated in NANOWRIMO I believe in 2011/2012 (it was during my sophomore year of high school). I even still have all the pages I wrote. I didn't win that year but I really loved it. Every year since I've wanted to but I've run into one problem or another: not enough time, no idea what to write about, or I have an idea but didn't plan it (which is what happened last year). This year I'm ready to tackle this.

If you want to participate go here and read the rules and conditions. You still have one month to figure things out.

#Cramathon 2015 (December 19th-December 22nd) Cramathon was hosted by Whittynovels on Youtube. It was created to read as many books as possible to finish your Goodreads challenge for the year. I wasn't originally going to participate being I would be very busy the first day that the Cramathon took place. I also didn't really need the help with my reading challenge. I only had three books left to read to meet my goal for the year, but I decided I wasn't going to give up an opportunity to get some of the books on my TBR (To Be Read) read.  Challenges: Read an audiobook or ebook Read a bind up Finish a series/read the last book of a series Read a book under 200 pages Finish a book you DNF’ed Read a graphic novel series (or as many graphic novels as you can) Read 5 books total Day 1:  I didn't read anything the first day. I was too busy. Day 2:  Read a book under 200 pages:  The Twits by Roald Dahl:  ★★★★ I love

The Sad Truth I'm taking myself away from blogging for a while. For a long time, especially in the past month, I've lost all my motivation for reading. I can't seem to pick up and finish a novel. This whole year has been terrible for me. I've had to force myself to read and while I have had small bursts of great reading time I can't seem to shake this pressured feeling to have to read. It's not fun. I don't want to keep up this charade. So I regret to inform that I'm taking a step back from this blog. I want to find my spark (no matter how cliche). I want to find the reason I started this blog. I barely post on here as it is and I think that's part of the problem. It's a never-ending cycle of feeling guilty that I haven't posted so I force myself to read/post and then that in turn makes me not want to post/read less. I may post once in a while on my Twitter and Instagram so follow me there if you want updates. I don't know when I

Review: Heir of Fire  by Sarah J. Maas Format (That I Read It): Book Summary: Celaena has survived deadly contests and shattering heartbreak―but at an unspeakable cost. Now, she must travel to a new land to confront her darkest truth . . . a truth about her heritage that could change her life―and her future―forever. Meanwhile, brutal and monstrous forces are gathering on the horizon, intent on enslaving her world. Will Celaena find the strength to not only fight her inner demons but to take on the evil that is about to be unleashed? Initial Thoughts: It's #TOMETOPPLE time again and while this book was on my TBR I wasn't really planning on reading it. I thought for sure that I would either The Name of the Wind by Patrick Ness or American Gods by Neil Gaiman. I thought and felt the need to read a Sarah J. Maas. I haven't read one since last November/December. Review: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ~Spoilers  Below~ I quite enjoyed myself while reading Heir of Fire.
