Blogger Down! And a Quick Update

Hey everyone! So I planned on writing a post this morning since I got my laptop back! Yay! It had tons of viruses on it and needed to be fixed so it was at Best Buy for a few days.

But now that I have it back I can't seem to log into my Blogger account. And... I may have forgotten the email I used (I have like three emails). I will figure it out though. For now I'm writing this using the Blogger app on my phone that somehow works...

As you can tell I'm not very techy. ;)

So for lack of a better topic and my laptop here is a small writing update:

My editor is amazing and I am beyond excited that she's gotten through so much of Weapon Icean. Today I'm going through several chapters to fix the changes she suggested. She says she'll be done with it by the end of September so yay for that!

I'm on my fourth draft of the vampire hunter/love story book I'm writing and I came up with a name for it! It may not be the official name but I'm really loving it so instead of just calling it my vampire hunter WIP I'm going to be referring to it as Sterling Silver. I also can't wait to get started on book two. The world of vampires is one of my favorite places to be and I am so connected to the characters and the story. It is unreal how well I know the world of Sterling Silver and I am so on fire with this book and the characters.

I also just got done editing my short story collection Tales of the Lonely. It took me quite a while and there were a few set backs (like a whacky laptop meltdown) but I'm finally happy with how all the short stories have turned out. I want to work on a sequel to it since I'm really into the characters and the world but I'm still trying to figure that out.

As for my non-writing life not much has been going on. I'm free of classes all this month which is letting me chill and focus on my writing... It's ridiculously hot out and I can't wait for Fall to come and... Well not much else has happened for me. This summer has been pretty uneventful in terms of huge awesome events and vacations. But I'm all good with that since my writing has been on fire. :)

So yeah... That's pretty much it. Thanks for reading and checking up on my blog! I hope I can figure out the online computer part of my Blogger sign in problem. For now though this will have to do.

Have a great rest of the week everyone!

How's your writing life going? Have you done anything interesting or fun this summer?

Friday in Review: Fictional Vacation/Would you Rather

Happy Friday! So, they awesome Lily Cat tagged me in this fictional vacation/would you rather challenge and I am so excited to do this. It sounds so fun! Alright so here's the deal: ~ Include the graphic Madeline made. ~ Answer the Questions ~ Tag some other people if you feel so inclined Let's jump right into this! Would you rather... Train with demigods for the summer at Camp Halfblood OR attend Hogwarts to learn some spells for a semester? These movies were a disgrace to the books buuut I needed a gif so here you go haha How is this even a question? ;) Camp Halfblood of course! I adore the Percy Jackson series, so I would do just about anything to be a halfblood for the Summer. The real question is, who would my parent be?? My enneagram four side who loves being special and different wants me to be a kid of one of the big three... maybe Hades just to make myself extra special and unique from everyone else ;) But m...

How to Revise like a Pantser ft. Big Hero 6 Gifs

Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope you've had a great week so far and that you have a great Easter weekend ahead! We plan on going to my grandparent's on Friday to celebrate Easter with family and spending the night there so that'll be a fun time. :) Alright, so I contemplated doing an Easter-y post on here but I wasn't even sure what that would look like... So instead, I thought I'd do something fun and happy in honor of the celebration of Easter on Sunday. Without further ado, here is your Big Hero 6 gif filled revising process from a real life pantser: The end of your first draft is in sight! You type like crazy, stay up past your normal bedtime until it is finished. When you type The End, the satisfaction that you actually did this thing sets in. Guys, it is the sweetest feeling ever. Knowing you worked so hard to complete this draft and came out on the other side. Unscathed? Perhaps not. But triumphant? Definitely! That first draft is a total disast...

Best Resources for Writers

Happy Wednesday once more everyone! So recently I've been doing a lot of craft-learning and have discovered some pretty awesome resources that have been so helpful to me. I'm also contemplating trying my hand at a How To guide for writers. I've already written a How to Write a Serial book and it just needs to be touched up. I think I might make it one of my freebies for my newsletter. So then not only do you get a short story but also a how to guide cuz I realized a lot of the newsletters I sign up for come with how to guides or writerly resources. But anyways, here are some of my favorite books/podcasts/blogs that have been so, so helpful to me over the past few months: Craft Books: Go Teen Writers: Edit Your Novel by Stephanie Morril and Jill Williamson: This one has a little bit of everything in it and is perfect for beginners. If you've just started plotting your novel, are in the middle of writing it or have begun the editing process this is a must have! ...
