Writing: Nanowrimo Try 2017 (A Super Late  Update  Sorry) So I started this year coming up with such a fantastic idea for a Nanowrimo story that I couldn't help start immediately writing down all my thoughts. I started a Pinterest board, a Spotify playlist, etc. I've been doing this since the first of the year (the first week). I feel more excited a ready to write this than I was for last years Nanowrimo. Then I decided I was gonna work on in all year and hopefully do own Nanowrimo next month (March). There are 31 days next month and I plan on writing 25,000 words which averages to about 807 words a day. There is a lot of research that needs to be done before I start writing. That is why I was saying that I hope to do my own Nanowrimo but I'm not sure if I can finish my research before then. It's gonna be in the fantasy genre and I need to flesh stuff out before I can move forward. I never updated what happened to my other story but I didn't finish it. I...

#Bout of Books 17 Wrap Up August 22nd  (12:00 am) -  August 28 th (11:59 pm) Well, this didn't go so well. I thought that I would have more time to read but so much happened this whole week. My days off turned into more work and family was in town again so I didn't have any time to really get any of my reading I had planned down. I didn't feel good either. I only ended up reading really one book and not even a fourth of the other one. I even wrote a full review of November 9 here.  I'm still trying to get through Crown of Midnight which makes me upset because I want to be caught up before Empire of Storms comes out next week but I'm not sure that will happen. That's what I'm going to do going forward. I will be trying to read all the Throne of Glass books.

Discussion: Life/Adulting           It's been a crazy lately. I've had a lot of things happen all at once. Around the middle of July, I applied and interviewed for a job which I ended up getting. So now that it's been a month I'm really trying to get everything settled and sorted out. I've had to sort things out for work. Then training and working, etc.           Another thing that happened at the end of July was that I finished Cinder by Marissa Meyer. I know that doesn't seem like a big deal but reading anything nowadays is huge because I'm still in a really weird place. I'm in and out of reading slumps. I'm not sure what is going on. After I finished Cinder I couldn't figure out what I wanted to read. It took me about two weeks to actually read a book. I know I shouldn't feel this way but I felt really bad (like it was wrong of me) to not be reading something, Then after deciding to keep pushing through A Court of Mist...

Suicide Squad Book Tag!   ( Source: RoseBooks ) I saw the movie on Monday and so I had to find if there was a book tag and there was! RoseBooks on Youtube created this tag and I decided that I would change it up a bit. Instead of doing book characters for my Suicide Squad I chose TV Show characters. 1:  HARLEY QUINN – KICK ASS [CRAZY IS OPTIONAL] HEROINE This one was a really easy one to pick someone for and it has to be Lagertha from Vikings . She is one of the most bad ass people I've watched on TV, She's a shield maiden and leads tons of people in battle. 2:  DEADSHOT – A CHARACTER THAT HAD GOOD INTENTIONS BUT WENT DOWN THE WRONG PATH. Jax Teller from Sons of Anarchy . At the beginning of the show he really had a lot of great ideas/thoughts of how he walked to change the Club. How he wanted to do the right thing and in the end things didn't turn out the way he planned. 3:  RICK FLAG – THE LEADER OF THE SQUAD This one ...

Pokemon GO Book Tag!  ( Source ) IT'S EVERYWHERE!! Pokemon GO is a HUGE phenomenon. It has taken over people's lives and caused people do act very stupid. I really love Pokemon GO. I am a 90's kid so I did grow up with all the different generations of Pokemon and it's crazy to see how far the game has come! And I can't wait to see how far it goes. I've already talked a lot about my journey into reading, I even made an enter discussion on it so I am going to say something different. Now, this may not have started my love for reading but I remember loving this series when I was a kid. That series is the Judy Moody series by Megan McDonald.  The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. It's such a classic and it's one of my favorite movies of all time! I love the story even though surprisingly I haven't finished reading them all. By the way, Pikachu is the best. I loved the friendship between Ash and Pikachu. It's a lot like Dorothy and Toto...
