My First Ramble: Frozen


First of all, please excuse my awful grammar! My grammar checker (A.K.A my mom) was super busy and didn't have time to grammar check it so in advanced I'm sorry for any mistakes. 

So I hope that you have seen Frozen by now. It's been a huge hit and so first of all I would like to say that I very much liked the movie. It was great, the animation was incredible and Anna was funny. Plus there was a very hilarious snow man named Olaf. Seriously the movie has some awesome, funny parts. 



But there are a few things that don't make sense and don't add up. Such as: how did Elsa get her power? Yes she was born with it but is a genetics thing? Is it passed down from generation to generation? And what about poor Anna who sings Do You Want to Build a Snow Man in front of her sister's door. Did Elsa never leave her room? How did she get food? Did the servants know about her power? And what happened to Kristoff's parents? 

And I am so sorry but I can't help but compare Frozen to Tangled. They truly did an awesome job on that movie and yet it seems like no one gives it much credit while Frozen is instantly a life long classic. 

Has anyone seen the Story of Frozen? I thought it was very interesting. I even watched it three times. But when I went to talk to my mom about it she gave me a different opinion. Yes it was cool to see how personal the movie was to all the people who worked on it but it also made it so that the movie meant so much to the people that it didn't mean so much to some people who watched it. Me included. Sure I thought Let it Go is a super cool song. But that moment when Elsa sang it didn't bring shivers up my arms. And I felt like I didn't know eboght about Elsa to connect emotionally with her in the first place. Anna was good but I feel like they could have made the movie so much better if they had only fleshed the characters out a little more and maybe explained a few things too. What I thought was very well done in the movie was that twist ending... I will say no more in case any of you haven't seen it yet. Kristoff was good too. I liked how Anna and Kristoff started off as friends and slowly became closer to each other. 

The Story of Frozen really high lighted how amazing Disney's research group is. They went to Norway and learned the culture. What was cool to me is that they managed to capture Norway in such a great way. Not to mention the animator a were sent out to (I can't remember the exact place) but to a location with lots and lots of snow so that they could see how the snow moved and reacted to certain things. Which then made their animated snow very realistic and beautiful. 

So that's really all the thoughts I have on that movie. Don't get me wrong, it was great for a cute and nice Disney movie but I would have liked to see a little more depth. (And this is all coming from a writer who loves and craves character and plot depth.) 

Thanks for taking the time to read all this and I hope that you enjoyed the movie for what they made it to be. :):)

March-May Wrap Up!

 Happy Tuesday!  So I had a March/April blog post all written out and forgot to post it! So here's a March-May recap! How has the last three months gone for you? March ended up being a really good month. I turned 25 and had a really great birthday I got to hang out with friends, watch some new shows and am almost done with the Throne of Glass series. April and May have also been really good months for me. God's blessed me in so many amazing ways over the past three months.  I feel bad that this blog has fallen so to the wayside for me. I used to post every week and be so excited and now I just really struggle to keep this updated. I'm starting to think it might be time to let this blog post unless I somehow get renewed motivation/inspiration for it.  March-May Writing:  March was a very good writing month. I just reached 65K in Immortal Circus #3, and despite a few small hiccups, it's been flowing really well. I'm enjoying getting to draft a book after spending ...

Turning 25!

 Happy Thursday!  At the end of February I was looking back at my wrap ups on my Instagram and on here and it almost made me start crying because of how far I've come. It made me stop and think about where I started my 20's versus where I am now. So much as changed and so much of it for the better. Just looking back at the pictures and wrap ups I've done over the past year, I feel like I'm thriving. I'm at a place I honestly didn't think I'd ever get to and maybe that was just me being dramatic or living in on and off depression for so many years, but it makes me tear up and so thankful to see how far I've come since 20.  At 20 I had a best friend I thought I would still be best friends with when I turned 25. I had him and two other friends at 20 and that was it. I don't even remember what church we were at five years ago, but it wasn't the church we're at now and I know I definitely was not thriving there. I felt so behind everyone else my a...

A Goodbye to The Archive Series

Happy Friday!  The final book of The Archive Series comes out next Tuesday. This has been almost three years in the making and I don't know what to say to properly say goodbye.  I started this series in December 2019 with Golden Touch. The idea had been sparked by me watching The Road to El Dorado and having a desire to write a treasure hunt story for most of December. Little did I know that the story of a girl finding a boy with a Midas touch up in the mountains to help her family with their money issues would turn into a five book series and be a huge part of my life for the next few years. I also had no idea that that series would get me through one of the hardest years - 2020. Honestly, God knew what 2020 would be like and He knew I was going to need a story and characters that would make me happy, give me joy and focus on during that very hard year. And for me, that was Amaya and Darren and this whole series.  I poured a lot of myself and my story into Amaya and Darr...
