Friday Musings #5


Happy Friday! The first week of February is coming to a close!

The beginning of the week started out kind of rocky for me. For some reason, I kept thinking all of Monday that next week was this week. My brother's birthday is next Saturday, Valentine's Day is next Friday, and I have a dentist appointment on Thursday. I thought all that was happening this week. I did have a dentist appointment this week, yesterday actually. Anyways, Monday was a weird day haha!

I got a lot of my work done at the beginning of the week, like I did last week, which is kind of nice. I only have one other thing for class to worry about over the weekend.

This week I also started revisions on Golden Touch! Honestly, that was the easiest book I've ever revised! There were a few small things that needed fixing, I deleted a few scenes, added like two scenes and that's it. I've downloaded it onto my Kindle app and am now reading through it. I'm thinking I might do a post on it at some point to share about the characters and a little of what it's about and stuff. I just love this book so much and I can't wait to finish the edits.

Edits on Cursed are still going strong. I'm trying not to compare the struggles of editing this book with the ease of Golden Touch. Cursed has just been super difficult... Sequels are hard in the first place and the first draft was a major mess so it's requiring a whole lot more work. I'm still on schedule though. Once this draft is finished, I'll have about one more draft before I can send it out to beta readers! :b

I also finished reading the latest Renegade X book by Chelsea M. Campbell. They're so fun and easy to read. I get through a Renegade X book within a day or two. I'm so used to Damian's voice and Chelsea's writing style that I can easily devour her books.

Technically this was last week, but I went to a superbowl party on Sunday. That was really fun and just a nice, relaxed experience with my small group. No one there was an overly crazy football person so we could all just chill and have a good time together.

I had the dentist yesterday, which is never fun but at least now I only have one more appointment next week and then I'm done for a little while.

So, yeah... it's been a pretty uneventful week. Oh, it did rain ice Wednesday night. Like a lot of it! The roads were super bad. Thursday it snowed on and off... No sun in sight. I'm tired of all the clouds. Even if it stays cold out, I just want to see the sun for a week straight.

How has your week been? Has it been extra cold and cloudy where you are lately?

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!

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!  ...
