New Game Plan


Okey-dokey, peoples. Game plan. Here goes. 

I don't have everything figured out yet, but I'm going to lay out the basics of a posting plan I hope will work. 

1. Hopefully, I will post one or two times per week. Ideally, it will be two-- one review and one "other." But there's no way I can post the way I was last year in summer break while I'm at college. Have I freaked out about the THREE art studio classes I'm taking this spring on here yet? 


2. I will be tweaking the blog a tiny bit. Mainly just the tabs/links at the top, just so they'll match the current design. 

3. Does anyone feel up to doing a guest post for me?? Or if not, are there any things about my real life that you're curious about? As a book blog (or mainly bookish), I don't touch on that too much but I plan to do way more in the future. 

4. I have made an art blog. This is huge. For me, anyway, because I'm super insecure about my art. Which is ridiculous since I'm a Fine Arts major but it's true. I thought that since this is such a big deal for me (being it's my future career and all) I would keep track of all my projects and artsy doings with a blog! 

It looks like this.
Right now I have no idea what I'm doing (and part of this was me discovering how Wordpress works and being able to navigate it as well as Blogger) and I still have stuff to figure out as to the design and all kinds of other things. Like the website address. How do you change it? This is a legitimate question. (BTW, I have a free account if that helps.)

I'd love it if you took a few minutes to check it out and offer opinions. :)) For right now, I've decided to not link to Life of a Random from Wanderlust but that might change in the future. ANYWHO, here's the address: artofskylar.wordpress.com .

Adieu, lovelies.

    Good luck with the new posting schedule and art blog! I'm starting to hyperventilate just thinking about taking that many art classes in one year. I don't paint, sketch, draw, or even color very well. I prefer my art more 3-D (aka pottery.) Hope your classes go well!

      Thanks *grins* (I'll need it.) Oh my gosh, you're not the only one hyperventilating. I am like freaking out mentally here. Wow that's so awesome! I can't imagine the skills you have to have for pottery. Maybe you could guest post about it on the art blog some time? ;) And thank you again! Me too. *crosses fingers*

    Oooh, another blog! How exciting.

    Listen, I totally get it with the college thing (you know I do). It's super tough. I'm going to have to reevaluate my blogging situation too. We shall see how I adjust - and good luck to you!

    Hey, I'm always willing to guest post :-)

      Hehe I'm super excited. I hope I can keep up with everything :D

      Yeah, we freshies have to stick together. At this point, I feel like we should have a special hand shake or something because of all the stuff we've made it through. ;) I bet you'll do great. I mean I dropped off the blogosphere during august/september :P Thanks! Good luck to you too!

      And I am always happy to collab with you :) Let me brainstorm and I'll shoot you an email soon. EXCITEMENT.

    Nice post. Sign me up to do a guest post for you if you'd like. And as for wordpress, you can't change the website address. You're stuck with the website address you chose when you signed up unless you buy one of the packages.
    Thanks again for the amazing, artistic blog header you did for me. It's perfect!

      No problem, I had a ton of fun making it *grins*

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
