This month has gone by so fast! I can't believe it's already June! I feel like I've gotten a lot done in May and yet not enough... Bronze is underway and I had been hoping to finish it by, well, tomorrow, the end of May, but that definitely is not going to happen. Golden isn't even half way through revisions and Project Hellion? Well I thought it was finished but then I sent it to a new friend who blew me away with her amazingly awesome editing skills and now I realize that book still needs quite a bit of work. Anyways! Here's my May wrap up!
May Writing: My writing in May has consisted mostly of Bronze. Lots and lots of Bronze. I'm 35,000 words in and still have lots to do. It's funny cuz I first started working on Golden in May of last year, feels like it came full circle kind of, especially now that I'm on the sixth draft of Golden. When I first wrote it I thought it was the best book ever, needed little to no revisions or polishing or anything. Skip ahead a year after writing the sequel that completely derailed my original plans for the series, and now I find Golden will probably need more work than both the other books!
But it'll be worth it. I'm excited to see how it turns out, what's in store for this series of mine that I've put so much time and energy into. I've also been working on Sterling Silver, polishing up each chapter before they release on Saturday and since I have an awesome new editor friend who does an absolutely amazing job, I'm also getting some editing in on Project Hellion. Not to mention! The cover for Project Hellion is finished and I so cannot wait to release it! I'm thinking I'm going to re-release Weapon Icean in paperback this month and add the first two chapters of Project Hellion to it as well. I am psyched and even though I'm nervous as to how the release of Project Hellion will go, I'm just excited to get to hold it in my hands and have both my books side by side.
May Reading: May was a pretty good reading month for me too. I started reading the Evermore series by Alyson Noel after picking up the first two books at a new used bookstore that just opened in town. At first, I devoured the series. I ripped through the first four books, but then lost a lot of steam. The series just stopped being so enticing and honestly, the books became sort of repetitive and boring. Not to mention, I didn't know this when I first started reading them, but they're heavily influenced by spiritual stuff. Like the chi and chakras and crystals and all that weird stuff... I'm not much into reading about that sort of stuff, so I sort of gave up on the series. I started reading Strange Star by Emma Carroll but I sort of fell out of that book as well... It wasn't what I had expected. I'm hoping I can find some better reads for this June.
May TV Shows: Well, like half my TV shows ended in May which is kind of a bummer. Shadowhunters is on its break, The Flash and Siren had their season finale. Both were very good! The Flash got really weird this season... I liked the Thinker at the beginning, but then things just got... strange. Siren was fantastic and Freeform completely surprised me by doing so well on that show. I don't usually have high expectations for Freeform cuz usually their supernatural/magical shows aren't always the greatest or they don't start out so well, but Siren was top-notch. I highly recommend it. The 100 was on and now is on a two weeks break. The Originals came on too and that is going crazy well!! I'm so sad this is the last season, but I am also excited for The Originals spin-off called Legacies about Hope Mikaelson and the Salvatore Boarding School!
May Life Stuff: Not much has happened in May. We celebrated Memorial Day with family while also celebrating my two younger brothers graduating high school, my cousin graduating eighth grade and another cousin's birthday. It was a very celebratory day. I'm also working on studying hard for the drivers' permit test because I feel like I should get my licence at some point (even though I hate driving). There was an incident last Friday at one of our local schools. There was a shooting at the middle school and a bomb threat at my brother's high school, which was super scary since he was there during all of it. Luckily, everyone at the high school was safe and OK. But yeah... nothing else has happened, besides the weather getting ridiculously hot all of a sudden.
For June I'm hoping to completely finish polishing up Project Hellion, writing Bronze and revising Golden... I know I shouldn't give myself so many goals, but I'm hoping to get all three of them done by July and to have Project Hellion ready to go by July too.
