Art Clan #1

I'm a member of the Art Clan on Musical Fans Amino. The prompt this month was two different styles for writers. This is a  pantoum inspired by the song "Dear Baby" from Waitress. In the song, the main character Jenna is writing a letter to her unborn baby, and I decided to use that for the first piece.  Dear Baby, I hope that you make every moment last (Line I) I know that you might wonder about your father, and one day the details will come out (Line 2) I hope that you remember that I love you no matter what (Line 3) I hope that life brings you as much joy as you bring me(Line 4) I know that you might wonder about your father, and one day the details will come out (Line 5—same as 2) We have some amazing friends that you will meet one day (Line 6) I hope that life brings you as much joy as you bring me (Line 7—same as 4) One day I will tell you the  story about how you came to be (Line 8) We have some amazing friends that...

Weekly Challenge from Books & Writing Amino

Hello! I am a member of Books & Writing Amino. There are weekly challenges, and I am going to be more active with doing them, so I thought I would upload my blog here, and then upload them there as well. This weeks was the idea of Celine, and I thank her so much for it. The challenge was to shuffle your playlist and take 5-10 songs and connect them to a character. As an avid lover of music and books, this challenge was made for me. 1: The Abduction from Natasha, Pierre and Great Comet of 1812 (Off-Broadway cast recording) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QT4KFjhhLCg "Friends of my youth when shall we meet again?" It seems like a cheating to pick Anatole who starts the song and forms the plan. I am going to say Tamlin from A Court of Thrones And Roses series by Sarah J. Maas. If you listen to the lyrics you might not see it, but I see that Tamlin is like Anatole, so my mind right to him.  I would say that Tamlin is the villain in the series, and although he did...

Update & About the blogger

Hello, I wanted to take this time to give an update about what I am doing, and what has been going on within my world,  I would also like to take the time to tell you all about myself, just you that you feel that you can get to know me better. I will end this post with the different things that you will find on this blog this month. Update I am almost done with my Bachelor's, and I will be graduating in December. It has been a long time coming, but I am very excited that I am almost done.  I am not sure what I will do after graduation, but I would like to work for an online site as a writer, or I would like to do some freelancing work.

Over the last two months, I have become a full-time member of this board, and I write weekly theatre editorials. What  I love most about it is coming...

Reader Problems Book Tag

1. You have 20,000 books in your TBR, how in the world do you decide what to read next? It depends on what I'm in the mood for. I will usually pick a read that I got the most recently, and knock that out, or I will read something that I've had on my tbr for a while. I will also use the internet, and people that I know that have read and enjoyed the book, so I will read that. Honestly, it will depend on a lot of different factors. If I have just read a heavy read, I will read a lighter read for a bit of a break.  2. You’re halfway through a book and you’re just not loving it. Do you put it down or are you committed? Honestly, 99.99% of the time I am committed to the book. If it is just a slow part I will push and power through it, I know that there is always something that is slow in the book. I may skip through a section, or read a section really fast, but I will almost always stick with the book and be committed to the book.  3. The end of the year is comi...
