Did anyone else miss the start of December? I turn Did anyone else miss the start of December? I turned my calendar over on the first, it just didn't hit me until the day after πŸ˜‚ For once, I've barely set any goals. πŸ–‹οΈ I want to edit as much of BLOOD SONG as I can without stressing myself. If I can finish the First Big Edit, great. If I don't, also great. . πŸ–‹οΈ It says 'Buy Presents' on my list, but I've done that πŸ™Œ . πŸ–‹οΈ December is a great way to reflect as we're approaching the longest night of the year, so I'm planning to sit down with a hot chocolate and a notebook and look back on how this year went for me. . πŸ–‹οΈ Finally, I want to finish editing my other two NaNo experiments and get them uploaded to Patreon. The first of both will follow this week πŸ‘ . πŸ–‹οΈ I also want to be more open, more me here on Instagram. I've mostly kept things to writing and reading, but I do other things too (shock, I know πŸ˜‚) If I can't be me with my readers, bookworms, and writer friends, what am I even doing here 😢 So, expect more content of my cat, the video games I play, mythology, AND what I'm writing and reading πŸ‘ The last point is less of a goal and more of a promise πŸ™‚ QOTD: What are you up to this month? . . . . . . . . . . #monthlygoals #prettyplanning #goalsset #bujodecember #bulletjournaljunkie #bulletjournalcommunity #bujocommunity #bujolove #bujoinspo #stationerylover #bujomonthly #monthlyspread #bujogram #bulletjournalss #stationerylover #writersonig #writerslifeforme #igauthors #authorsofinsta #fictionwriterΒ #creativeprocess #amwriting #bosslady #writingislife #communityofwriters #writerofig #cuppa #instatea #teagram #timefortea
Book review: THE CRUEL PRINCE by Holly Black *min Book review: THE CRUEL PRINCE by Holly Black *minor spoiler ahead* This is a harder review to write than I expected when I first picked up this book. I was so sure I'd love it, but I'm afraid it just isn't for me. At best, I was indifferent. At worst, I found it problematic in how it portrays bullying. I didn't like any of the characters, which is possibly a first for me. I just didn't care about Jude. I didn't find her likeable and I didn't root for her or any of them. I rarely give books fewer than 3 stars, but because of how it normalises bullying (and later romanticises it), 3 stars didn't sit right with me. I don't like how normal the author makes it in her world or how she lets Jude deal with it. Worse than that, I hate that the only way Jude can think to stop it is to become even worse than the bullies and even kill one of them. I know this book is so loved, but for me, that stance is extremely problematic, and I don't think it's what we should be teaching kids and young adults.

Throwback to this morning when I first sat down to Throwback to this morning when I first sat down to write the last 5k of NaNo πŸ₯³ NaNoWriMo was an experiment for me this year. I played around with three different stories, all of them things I haven't tried before. This wasn't my first NaNo, but it was the first time I dedicated it to experimenting rather than a new WIP. I've learned so much this month πŸ₯° I can't wait to put what I've learned into practice. No hint at what's to come yet, but maybe soon πŸ˜‰ I'll have to sit down with a notebook and reflect on the experience while it sinks in that I have, in fact, finished #nanowrimo2021 a whole week early πŸ₯³πŸ˜ *drops mic* No question today, only reflection.

I rarely feel confident enough to give anyone advice about anything, but here's something small that has changed my life as a writer: a kindness log.
