Blogger Break and Update

Hey everyone! So I told myself that even though my own class started I would still be consistent on this blog. And then class started and the blog and writing and everything got sidelined. Let's just say I am not gifted in the area of learning new languages. At all. So this Spanish class is kind of killer. June slipped away from me but I am going to try my hardest to post at least once a week on this thing, maybe twice if I try really hard. But I have a lot of Of Magic and Mayhem stuff to do and revising Project Khione and really, really wanting to get back into Golden and revise that cuz I love my Renee and Jax and Zayde so much.

This post is going to be pretty small but here's a quick update to start off July.

Writing-wise I finished Golden about a month ago and can't stop thinking about it. My fingers are itching to write the sequel. I also narrowed down the short stories I'm putting into Of Magic and Mayhem, have been revising and editing those things to death. Now I'm on my final sweep through, just polishing them up one last time and getting the cover figured out and made. It's on Goodreads now and I'm going to be marketing it shamelessly. You can find it Here. So at the moment Of Magic and Mayhem is my main thing that I'm working on.

Project Khione is getting a bit of a rewrite... which means that's going to take quite some time to finish especially with this class during the summer and then classes in the Fall and all that. I can't believe I have to be thinking about classes in the Fall already! This year is just going a little too fast for my liking. But the sequel to Weapon Icean is going to be published, I am determined to get it published around the same time Weapon Icean was. Only I think I'm going to be bold and tackle all the edits and revisions myself. Hopefully I'll be able to find some really good beta readers for this to help me out some.

Golden... I really need to stop gushing about this book! But I think once I am satisfied with Of Magic and Mayhem I'm going to lose all self-control and just get to work on Golden. That's my prediction anyways because I have little self-control to begin with (just ask any of my friends). I don't know when Golden will be published or anything... Right now it's just sort of my pet-project, the project that is making me really happy and right now I'm just fine with keeping Golden to myself.

Life-wise I am not nearly as organized. My writing life is pretty simple. I write, edit and revise until I'm happy with how the story has turned out. Life is a bit harder than that. I am going to be studying super hard to get my driver's permit by the end of July (this Indiana permit test is sooo hard but I am determined to get it and get my driver's license sooner or later). Other than that life is pretty dull. I've gotten out of my reading slump. Yay! I just finished reading Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller and that was good. The beginning was a little slow to me and hard for me to get into but midway through I couldn't put it down. I can't wait for the next one! I also read Our Dark Duet and that was just complete perfection besides the whole ripping my heart out at the end. Other than that I've been doing my Spanish class and overall feeling better than I did a few months ago.

And right now... that is about it I think. Hopefully I will have a post up on Monday. To all of you doing camp nanowrimo happy writing!

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...
