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??

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 Survivalist Character During The Apocalypse

Hello friends! It's been a while... The last two weeks have been kind of nuts. The entire world is freaking out, everything's been turned upside down. Last week was rough... I had wanted to write out a birthday blog post and do something special on here for turning 22, but then everything happened and I was too stressed and I forgot to write anything, so that's kind of a bummer. I guess I could do it this week, but I feel like something else is needed for this week. I was thinking I should write some meaningful, hope-filled blog post. Write about what's going on in the world... but then I realized, everyone is already doing that. Social media is saturated with hope-filled positivity. And don't get me wrong, that's great! It's needed right now. To be honest though, Sunday night and into Monday I was getting pretty fed up with all the positivity. I think I was just overwhelmed and stressed, but I got pretty bitter and told my mom I was sick of hearing all th...

Five Tips for Getting in the Writing Mood

Happy June everyone!! I am both excited and a little anxious for this month... Excited because the twenty one pilots concert is at the end of the month and because my college class starts at the end of the month too (while also being a little anxious about it as well haha). Honestly, I don't know why I'm feeling a little off about this month... Maybe just cuz it feels like there's going to be a lot going on... I have an over the phone adviser meeting tomorrow and am helping at my church's VBS from 8 to 3 Monday through Friday next week. It'll be good but it's still a little daunting to think about :o But anyways! There's been this weird trend going on right now in my life. Just in the past week I've watched several live videos and authortube videos and read blog posts (most all of them about pantsers or having to do with pantsers in some way) and they all have included, well, pantser stuff but also how to stay in a writing mood. No one has mentioned h...
