I’ve officially entered the drafting stage! This week, I wrapped up outlining book one of my fantasy series (which remains untitled as of right now) and began writing my book on Scrivener. I have to say I am so glad I invested in Scrivener because writing with just a neat background and the page is …

As the title suggests, all I’ve done in the past week is pre-write. Normally, I am a panster when it comes to writing but with such a big project, I’ve decided to deviate from the normal this week by outlining. It’s incredibly time consuming, but I’ll admit, my perfectionistic brain loves structure. With Camp Nanowrimo …

When I started this blog series, I didn’t think I would be so busy I wouldn’t have time to update this. Who knew writing about my writing progress would be so hard? I definitely didn’t.  While I haven’t been talking about it, I have made a lot of progress in my untitled fantasy series. After …

This week has been a crazy week to say the least. I completed my last AP test ever on Tuesday only to find myself with a lot more free time than I knew what to do with. Normally I was used to dealing with having too little time–having to cut some extracurriculars and activities in …

Recently, on Twitter, I have been seeing multiple people ask if audiobooks count as reading. It’s a question that pops up a lot, and I find that fact that we even need to debate this interesting (and a little concerning). Since there seems to be a never ending debate on the subject (at least on …

This is not the first time I have set goals for a quarter. If you’ve been following my blogs for the past year, you know that I have not been the best at actually achieving the goals I set. I want that to change, so I’m changing up how I’m going about this. What I’m …

5/5 ⭐ This was a great start to the year. Shadow and Flame picks up right where the duology’s first book, Onyx and Ivory left off (and for the sake of spoilers let’s just say it was a pretty large cliffhanger). This book has everything I could possible want in a fantasy: magic, star crossed …

When I think of a classic novel, I normally think of a drab, novel filled with unnecessarily long descriptions and tiny print you can barely read. I think of the boring books I’ve had to read for English class. I never thought I would enjoy a classic novel until I was introduced to Bronte and …
