Inconceivable Announcements

I slept in really late today (almost eleven) and I've been meaning to get a couple good posts out, but my little sister forced me to write with her. 

Let me explain. 

As you may have noticed, I do write sometimes but I mostly read. I don't offer writing tips and stuff because I don't write too often and I don't count myself as a particularly gifted writer. I would love to write a book, but I usually get the characters and then have zero plot. Apparently, this is unacceptable. So my younger sister told me I had to write some today. So I partnered up to write parts of a novella she's writing (she's very driven. She's working on two novels and the novella. I usually just watch in disbelief and shake my head at her insanity. It works). 

It's actually going better than I thought it would. I disciplined myself to write a little over 1800 words in one sitting. I'm guessing my sister's going to make me do more after she's done showering. *whispers* She's a terror.

I might put snippets of my work sometime later when I have more to work with, but I'm going to show you the cover I made first.


I'm doing two POVs for this one: a guy and a girl. This is the first time I've written for a guy, but I guess it's good practice. And I definitely need that. On a side note, Skylar Finn is my pen name not my real name. 

Also some things that I will be posting during this weekend and the following week (hopefully anyway) are:

1. Book and Writing Insanity Linkup (hosted by the Notebook Sisters) 
2. A Character(s) Interview (with questions supplied by the awesome Tansie Gray)
3. More book reviews. 
4. Other fun and interesting things that I haven't thought of yet.

Soooo. That's about it. 

I am currently very cozy in a maroon Aeropostale hoodie and sweat pants. They are literally the softest things ever. I just finished a bowl of vanilla ice cream a few minutes ago too. I know it's contradictory that I'm eating ice cream when it's freezing cold. Sorry. That happens a lot for me. 

                                                          Cozy reading (yes that is a thing),

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

Waiting on Wednesday {2}

Image
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
