February: Why Is February Going To Be So Great?


So I planned on writing something really great and inspiring and amazing yesterday. Another great blog post by me. I even have the beginning of one done from last week at like ten at night when inspiration struck but then I never finished it sooo... But I was sort of busy and the blogging thing ran away from me and now this morning I am tired and my brain is mush. I'm at a slump in my archaeology book where I have to read about all the technical parts of archaeology... like aerial surveys and ground surveys and reconnaissance.
I'm not that tired or unhappy with this chapter but I couldn't resist. I love Lilo.


 I know I need to know about this stuff to really understand archaeology buuut I also just want to get to the fun stuff about mummies and artifacts and sunken pirate ships (cuz ya know that's all archaeologist do. Just happen upon mummy tombs and pirate ships).


So anyways I've been reading that yesterday... last night right before I went to bed and this morning and my brain is fried because of it. So instead of writing something brilliant and writerly I'm just going to talk about February. I'm super excited about February.


February is going to be great. Why is February great? I'm one month away from my birthday! The Big 19! :0 All my shows (except for The Originals) will officially be on. The 100 starts tonight!! I have been waiting too long for it to start again!! All the books are finally starting to come out. I have Roseblood (so good!), Wires and Nerves by Marrisa Meyer and Caravel are being ordered from the library (I got the first holds on them yay!). I predict that my reading slump will be more or less over this month. Oh and I have my first book promotion (more on that later). And the best for last: We're going to DISNEY!!! In just 19 days we will be on a plane heading to Florida and to the happiest place on Earth! I'm going to wear lots of Disney and Disneybound (or try to). I'm also going to take lots and lots of pictures for the blog and go on lots of rides (maybe even a rollercoaster :0). Oh and eat lots of yummy food. We're going to surprise my two littlest brothers plus the oldest of my brothers since he hasn't found out yet a week before we go. It's going to be a blast!

Also it took me all of January to actually finish and be satisfied with the beginning of my gypsy/vampire book. Its turning out to be a little strange... a little unorthodox and probably one of the wildest out there books I've ever written. But it's been fun (and frustrating... very frustrating...). February is the month that I finally finish the first draft! I'm determined that within the next 28 (only 28?!) days that I will finish the first draft and maybe even come up with a title.
Me writing this book.


And is it weird or wrong to switch writing POV's in the middle of a series? Weapon Icean was just Delphi's POV but book two is wanting something a little different. A few bits and pieces of Asher and Liam and Hailey's POV. And I think I really want to try it. Who cares about writing rules right? Right. Hopefully by the end of February I'll maybe have Project Khione a little less messy and a little more put together.


So yeah, that is why February is going to be awesome! Books! Disney! Writing! Disney! And did I mention Disney?!!
*Squeals*


Do you guys got anything exiting going on this February??

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

Cover Reveal: Golden Touch!!

 Happy Tuesday!!  Today's the day! I turn 23 and I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than to share the cover for Golden Touch! I think this is by far my favorite cover my mom has ever done. It's crazy to think that this time last year Golden Touch was still just a first draft and I was in the middle of writing book 2 of the series. A defining part of my twenty-second year will always be having revised Golden Touch and written almost the entire Archive Series. And now I get to open up my twenty-third year with sharing the cover and writing book the first draft of book 5, the very last book in the series. God is so good guys. I really think He gave me Golden Touch and this whole series a few months before the events of 2020 started. He gave me a story I could get lost in, I could find joy in even during some of the hardest times of the year. And now I get to share the cover and I get to close out the series and I just pray and hope that God will use Golden Touch and

How to Write a Negative Character Arc

Anyone else love reading a train wreck? I find negative character arcs refreshing and fun to read and watch because not a lot of people do them. Like I'm a sucker for a redemption arc. I love characters that start out horrible and bad and "irredeemable" and then slowly redeem themselves and become the good guy. But from time to time I just love watching a good character go bad. Call me evil but I hope I'm not the only one who enjoys this. I've actually wanted to write this post for a while after rewatching Merlin last year and then over the past month me and a friend were rewatching Star Wars and I've always enjoyed the prequels because of Anakin's downward spiral. Also the last season of The 100, you watch as Octavia completes her journey to becoming one of the meanest, worst antagonists in the show. And that's saying something. The other day I really thought about what other characters who have negative arcs there are but I honestly couldn't th
