New posts every Monday and Thursday!
It’s hard to believe that it's October. The days have started to get chillier, and I'm already anticipating pulling out my sweater collection. September was a bit of a rough month for me, as I struggled to find balance and wasn't able to work on my revisions much, if at all. I had a… Continue reading Writing Update #13: Patience and Showing Up
*taps mic and whispers, "is this thing still on?"* It feels like it's been longer than 20 days since I've last blogged, which has made me realize how big of a habit blogging actually is for me. I last blogged, unironically, the day before my senior year and I haven't blogged since. The reason… Continue reading Striving for Balance 2.0
Photo Credit As with Starfish, I was completely blown away by Summer Bird Blue! Before I dive into the review, here's a quick look at the summary: "Rumi Seto spends a lot of time worrying she doesn’t have the answers to everything. What to eat, where to go, whom to love. But there is one thing… Continue reading Book Review: SUMMER BIRD BLUE by Akemi Dawn Bowman
Today is the last summer writing update of the year! *sniffles* I will continue to do writing updates each Friday because I think it's an awesome way to document my journey and share said journey with you all. For now, let's take a moment of silence for the ending of summer... In terms of… Continue reading Summer Writing Update #12: Goodbye Summer
It's kind of hard to believe that this is my second to last summer writing update, and that senior year begins in ten days!! I didn't get a chance to upload an update last Friday because I was busy with last minute school-related stuff. Writing wise, I was nearing the end of the draft… Continue reading Summer Writing Update #10 + #11: Goal…Achieved
Photo As with You'll Miss Me When I'm Gone, by the end of Our Year of Maybe I was on the brink of tears. But good tears, like 'oh my gosh, how is this over, I need more,' tears. Before I dive into my review, here's a look at the summary: "Aspiring choreographer Sophie… Continue reading Book Review: OUR YEAR OF MAYBE by Rachel Lynn Solomon (ARC)
I'm starting to realize that I really need to get better at coming up with titles for these updates. It's also both exciting and nervwracking to think that soon these posts will go from "summer writing updates" to "writing updates." Yep, summer is slowly winding down and there are only three more summer writing… Continue reading Summer Writing Update #9: Up, Up, and Away (+100th post!)
It's Friday, and by now we all know what that means!!! I actually have some really awesome stuff to share this week. I got the go ahead from my mentor to start rewrites/start the third draft. After spending three weeks working on the character arcs, it feels so good to be semi-drafting… Continue reading Summer Writing Update #8: Slow But Steady

Photo THIS BOOK!!! It magically made my summer better and helped me work out a key plot point for my revisions. A 2-in-1 doesn't get any better than that. Before I dive into the review, here's a quick look at the summary: "Millie Michalchuk has gone to fat camp every year since she was a… Continue reading Book Review: PUDDIN’ by Julie Murphy
