February Rewind

» This month I.... «

▫ Celebrated my mother's 52nd birthday.

▫ Continued planning a novel, thought up a  new idea, and started working on that one instead. Sigh.

▫ Became obsessed with Pintrest.

▫ Bought a new rabbit!

▫ Spent most of the month obsessing over the A Gathering of Shadows release.

The season finale is next week and I am NOT. READY.

The season finale for The Shannara Chronicles was a few days ago and stuck very true to the ending of the book series (as far as I know anyway - I haven't actually read them). However, it appears that there is a large possibility that the show will come back for another season. I thoroughly enjoyed the show and am looking forward to seeing how it diverts from the books during future episodes/seasons.

Guys. This show is so bad. I don't understand what happened. Everyone is acting out of character, actors are leaving, and this season has had practically zero redeeming qualities, in my opinion. UHG. Season two was so good; this season has just been a roller-coaster of crazy. And not in the good way.

As I've said, I have recently discovered Pinterest. I tried it out about a year ago and was too confused to look too much into it, but lately I've found that it's a great place for inspiration - both in life and writing. You can follow/find me here.

I heard about this technique from writer V.E. Schwab. She uses it to keep track of how many words she writes/edits, how many pages she reads, as well as other, every day activities. I've found it helpful to have a physical, visual way to see my progress!

This week's teaser:

An instant later, the captain's door burst open, but the pirates were too late. She tossed the pluming taper into the room and heard footsteps stumble, and men cough, before the drugged smoke brought them down. Two down, thought Lila, stepping over their bodies. Thirteen to go.

"Well," Gansey said slowly, as thunder rumbled once more, "the illegal part is that we're going to Ronan's family's property, which he's not allowed to do."

Ronan flashed his teeth at her. "And the distasteful part is that we're burying a body."

This week's teaser:


But then she flushed, hearing again President Cell Phone's voice saying I'll take care of it. She shot him a foul look, a real Calla number, and whirled back toward the kitchen. Neeve had to be wrong. She'd never fall in love with one of them.
