One week of Nanowrimo has officially passed, and somehow I'm still alive. So far, things are going pretty well and I like my story for the most part. Here is a rundown of how each day went! Tuesday, November 1: Day One Final Word Count: 2132 words The goal of course, is always to get ahead and stay there. In the beginning, it is easiest to do so. I find it hard to make time for writing during the week with school, but I am determined. I was happy to get ahead this much. Wednesday November 2: Day Two Final Word Count: 3,450 I didn't write 1, 667 word today, so it is good Igot ahead yesterday. I have a huge research paper due tomorrow for my English class, so that unfortunately was my main focus today. I still met the word goal of 3,334 for today! Thursday November 3: Day Three Final Word Count: 5,026 It is 5k day and I made it! 5,000 may not seem like much in the grand scheme of things, but it is still a lot to me. I'm still ahead, ...

Yes, I know. Long time no see. I really have no excuse except my mental health and school. I have missed blogging so so much, but a break was refreshing. Now, I am back and ready to bust down some barriers. Tomorrow is the last day of October, and that means its NanoWriMo time! I have decided to make like a crazy person and attempt 50k in 30 days. So far, I have a six page outline because I am no "pantser". My idea is fantasy and I'm really happy with it. I know that will change once I begin writing though. I want to do weekly updates on my blog every Sunday, so if you are interested in my progress (or epic fail) stay tuned! If anyone else is participating i wish you the best of luck!

Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass #2) by Sarah J. Maas Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy Pages: 420 Source: Purchased Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Book Depository | iTunes Rating: ✩ ✩ ✩ ✩ ✩ From the throne of glass rules a king with a fist of iron and a soul as black as pitch. Assassin Celaena Sardothien won a brutal contest to become his Champion. Yet Celaena is far from loyal to the crown. She hides her secret vigilantly; she knows that the man she serves is bent on evil. Keeping up the deadly charade becomes increasingly difficult when Celaena realizes she is not the only one seeking justice. As she tries to untangle the mysteries buried deep within the glass castle, her closest relationships suffer. It seems no one is above questioning her allegiances—not the Crown Prince Dorian; not Chaol, the Captain of the Guard; not even her best friend, Nehemia, a foreign princess with a rebel heart. Then one terrible night, the secrets they have all been keeping lead to a...
As the rain is pouring down outside, and the lights are flickering I thought it would be a great time to list all the E-books I have hauled recently. Who doesn't love blogging to the sound of thunder and the tapping of the keyboard? I really enjoy reading E-books so my library is filling up. #1 The Witch of Painted Sorrows by M. J. Rose Tika from Fangirl Confessions was the one to persuade me to get this one. I really have no clue what its about, but I think it will be good to go into blind. #2 My Life With the Walter Boys by Ali Novak I got this book because it was originally a Wattpad story which is awesome! It looks like it will be a nice short summer read. The cover also says "One Girl. Twelve Boys. One Roof." This sounds like a disaster waiting to happen! #3 Vicious by V. E. Shwab I hear nothing but good things about this book! YouTuber Reagan from...
