MAY 2020

Well, we're a week into June already, and 2020's almost halfway over. Whaaat.

Thinking back on May, it seems it went by kind of slowly. Anyone else? (Then again, I suppose time's been going by slowly for a lot of people lately.) It was also kind of a weird month? I don't know. I was going to explain why it was weird, but I don't even know how to describe it, so. xD

BUT ANYWAY. Here we go: a summary of my May!

It was a great reading month! I didn't read much, but pretty much everything I read I loved.

Porch Swing Girl by Taylor Bennett- 4 stars
How We Rise by Brooke Riley- 4 stars
Dust by Kara Swanson- not yet finished hehe oops but it's either going to be 4 or 5 stars :P

I got my Stories That Sing anthology!! VERY VERY EXCITING. I still can't believe I have my own story on my bookshelf now. okay i'll shut up about it for a while now

Real talk time: I'm really frustrated with myself because I haven't been working on Roots to Claim nearly as much as I'd planned on. I've been procrastinating like a pro, and what drives me crazy is that it's not because I don't want to work on this story. I DO. I love it so much and I want so much to see it finished. But when I hit the slightest snag I get discouraged and give up for a few days. And of course y'all know a few days leads into even longer.

BUT hopefully I can get back into it this month, because like I said, I really want to see this story finished!

i also have some really cool news coming but i can't tell you yet

I made Star Wars cupcakes on May 4 because how could I not.

And blue milk because again, how could I not.

My sister started reading the Out of Time series for the first time and this conversation happened:

XD #ifyouknowyouknow

I started a YouTube channel! I've only posted one video so far but I promise I have another one coming soon!

What I've been listening to:



I made this playlist for a short story I wrote, and I've been listening to it a lot even after I finished writing the story. I mentioned before about how I was having trouble writing. Part of that was because I've had some rough days lately. I'd start feeling down, lose all my motivation, get emotionally exhausted, and as a result get creatively exhausted. But this playlist has helped. I especially love "You're Gonna Be OK." You should definitely listen to it if you've never heard it before.

I've also been listening to the Descendants soundtracks like my life depends on it because I watched D3 again recently and WOW I love those movies. xD

it's obnoxious how much I love them

It's been a weird month. At times it was hard, at times it was great. Your prayers are always appreciated. And I'm always praying for you guys!

I hope you've all had a great week and beginning to your summer!

So what have you all been up to?? How was your May? Any big plans for June/summer? What's your favorite song that gives you hope?
