I am totally fighting a cold, I'm constantly tired, I have no motivation to write, and I literally want to lay in bed all day. However, I can't. Not only do I have Camp NaNoWriMo to do, but my family is also in the process of selling our house and moving. Our house just went … Continue reading Camp NaNoWriMo 2018: Day 16

Throwback Book Review: Abarat by Clive Barker
Way back in my middle school days (well, what would have been my middle school days if I hadn’t been homeschooled), I picked up this book from the library, knowing nothing of the author or the series. Let me just say, to most people Clive Barker is a horror writer, but since this is the … Continue reading Throwback Book Review: Abarat by Clive Barker
Camp NaNoWriMo 2018 Day 15
As this was Sunday, I took the day off. It worked really well to regenerate me last week from writing, so I figured I'd try it again this week and so far I feel great. I'm anxious to get back to writing tomorrow. I am fighting a slight cold, so hopefully I don't get sick … Continue reading Camp NaNoWriMo 2018 Day 15
Camp NaNoWriMo 2018: Day 14
Today is Saturday, which tends to be a rather busy day for me, so I will confess I didn't get quite as much writing as I was hoping I would. Saying that, I still got my wordcount done, but I didn't get ahead as I have been doing for the last week. For reference, I … Continue reading Camp NaNoWriMo 2018: Day 14
30 Question Song Challenge
I’ve done a couple tags on my favorite movies, but I’m surprised I’ve never done one on music (which I absolutely love). I was browsing Pinterest the other day (as I’m completely addicted—who needs Facebook and Twitter when you’ve got Pinterest) when I came across this 30 Day Song Challenge. As I usually don’t do … Continue reading 30 Question Song Challenge
Camp NaNoWriMo 2018: Day 13
It is a dreary day where I live, but the grass is lovely and green, which is a plus. It rained all last night and today it has been raining on and off. I have always been the type of writer who likes writing in the dark. Bright lights bother my eyes, so I find … Continue reading Camp NaNoWriMo 2018: Day 13
Camp NaNoWriMo Day 12
Today is my sister's birthday! Exciting! I went out to eat with her and we had a lovely party. Thus, I didn't have a whole lot of time to write today. However, I did manage to get almost 3,000 words done, which is still pretty good. It also means I'm officially halfway done with the … Continue reading Camp NaNoWriMo Day 12
Camp NaNoWriMo Day 11
I wrote another thousand words last night before going to bed, which brings my total written yesterday to around 3,000, which I'm really happy with. Today, however, I didn't start writing until late afternoon. This morning my family took a trip to my dad's grave, which is about an hour's drive from where I live … Continue reading Camp NaNoWriMo Day 11
Book Review: Midnight in Peking by Paul French
I have been reading a whole lot of articles and books about China in the 1930s, research for the book I’m writing this month for Camp NaNoWriMo. While I was going through different books set in China during that time, I came across this one. A true crime, a shocking murder that had rattled the … Continue reading Book Review: Midnight in Peking by Paul French
Camp NaNoWriMo Day 10
Again, in hopes of getting as far ahead early in the month, I spent a whole lot of time writing today. So much so that my hands seem to continually cramp up and I have to take frequent breaks (that can't be good). I'm now almost a fifth of the way into the challenge and … Continue reading Camp NaNoWriMo Day 10
