Summery Stuff


I've been writing quite a bit (for me) recently. Of course, I don't use a pen and paper, but the above image looked so cool. Especially because of the fountain pen. So...I've been writing and, even though it's not always smooth, it's really gratifying to see that I've added another few thousand words to my word-count every little while. I usually have problems with plot, because I run out of exciting ideas to move the plot forward very soon. What helps me is when I think through different possibilities and sort of lay it out (more or less) in my head. Today, I used amazing fantasy RPG (role-playing game) music to stimulate my brain cells. I think it helped. Or at least I hope it did. 

I've done some other summery things recently. Like I went shopping and got two cute shirts, which is really big for me. Because as much as I make fun of my mom's stingy ways I seem to have picked up on a few. :3 Oops. 

I also dropped by the library *squee* and picked up a delicious pile of thick books (because those are the only kind to get, right?) to read. One of the nice library ladies, whose name I don't know because (obviously) librarians don't wear name tags and, as long as I've known her on a face-recognition-only basis, I am way to awkward and shy to ask her "What's your name?" because of the fact that I've known her so long (whew! that was a long explanation), told me and my sister how much we've changed (since we haven't gone to the library regularly in forever). 

And I must also add that I am absolutely awful at painting my nails. Yeah. My nails can almost never dry in peace without being somehow messed up either by me accidently bumping into something with my freakishly long arms or by me touching something while they're still wet. I am perfectly serious here. I literally have to wait until after two days of washing my hands (for the normal stuff like when I get them dirty) until the nail polish that I've gotten on my fingers and not on the nails cleans up. 

I am a mess. 

I could go on, but I won't. 

                                                Have a beautifully nice night,

Waiting on Wednesday {2}

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine where you talk about books that you can't wait to read, but that are, unfortunately, not published yet.   In a Handful of Dust by Mindy McGinnis Publication date: September 23, 2014 Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books The only thing bigger than the world is fear. Lucy’s life by the pond has always been full. She has water and friends, laughter and the love of her adoptive mother, Lynn, who has made sure that Lucy’s childhood was very different from her own. Yet it seems Lucy’s future is settled already—a house, a man, children, and a water source—and anything beyond their life by the pond is beyond reach. When disease burns through their community, the once life-saving water of the pond might be the source of what’s killing them now. Rumors of desalinization plants in California have lingered in Lynn’s mind, and the prospect of a “normal” life for Lucy sets the two of them on an epi

Book Haul + My First Guest Post (!)

Guys, guys, guys, guys. I did my very first guest post at Tansie Gray's blog Totally Tansie  and it was awesome collaborating with her! Tansie's blog is full of hilarious book reviews, rants, and writing tips. I had a great time writing the post: "10 Ways to Make Your Sister Mad"  I'd love it if you could pop over to Totally Tansie and check it out (And maybe leave a comment. Hint, hint). [][][][][][][][] I also went to my favorite used-books store last Sunday. I didn't get as many books as usual...Not many YA novels *gasp*. I felt unfulfilled. But I didn't want to spend what the books cost, so I snatched a few middle-grade types.  1. Princess Sonora and the Long Sleep by Gail Carson Levine A short fairytale re-telling of Sleeping Beauty in a funny, simple way. It's very  short. 107 pages short. 2.   The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan Book 2 of the Percy Jackson series! Now I can finally read it and see how it measures up to th

Airplanes and Sky

Remember when I talked about big travel things that I was going to do this summer? THE TIME. HAS. COME. IT IS HERE. YAY. As you can probably tell, I'm just a little excited. Me and my family are headed to Taiwan this summer for my uncle's wedding and since plane trips aren't really a regular thing for us, it'll be awesome.  If you know me even a little bit, you know that I love  traveling and gosh I'm just so excited to be able to be in and see another culture for a little while. *happy dance* Another reason I'm writing this is to tell you about how I get ready for major trips and whatever little tips I use to make traveling easier. Maybe they'll help you in a future trip. ^^ Any trip needs music, but especially one where there are multiple long layovers and a hugely long flight over the Pacific Ocean. I've been updating the music on my phone (music helps me sleep so much better too), which is fun and boring at the sa
