Apologies, I’ve been busy! I’ve been holding the “Best Commenter Challenge” and haven’t posted since Sunday. *sighs* Don’t worry, I have some stuff planned that y’all can read and comment on!
Writing:
So, today I did something awesome! I finished Vital, my book I’ve been working on for a very long time. I grew so attached to all the characters; especially Vivianne. Vivianne is my “main girl.” β€ I’m super excited! I will be editing the book for a bit, and then I’m going to do my best to be publishing it very, very soon. And something else, I planned.
I’m starting a book of short stories! It will have about thirty short stories, hopefully. And I plan to finish it sometime around November. I’m pretty excited about this one!
Also, the other update is that while I’m working on the short stories book I will be writing a book in 30 days. This is not a part of NaNoWriMo, but something else for just me. I will be sharing a bit out of it. I’m starting that particular project tomorrow.
School:
School is going great. Being on campus at a University is pretty awesome! I love it there. β€ And the campus itself is gorgeous. The classes are awesome. We have a lot of discussion in Psychology and Philosophy, and I have a good friend in government. We go back and forth. A lot. My favorite class has to be Psychology because the professor is so funny, we go back and forth a lot. I told him I very stressed 24/7 so my nickname is now Stress. So, in roll call he just says “Stress” and I raise my hand. It’s awesome. One of my favorite nicknames yet.
Welp, I know that was short but that’s it for the (main topic). I have some announcements.
In October…
A few things are gonna change. β€ I am not changing too much, so don’t worry. Some of these changes include:
- I’m going to focus more on some different things. I will be doing more spiritual things, and lifestyle, reviews, and crafting tutorials. A little less on some other stuff.
- My weekly challenges are going to also be more about my week (so I can have my personal updates there). This will make them longer and more interesting, hopefully.
- I’m going to include y’all more. This means more blog parties, contests, and discussion-based posts.
- My Month Review posts will also be more personal. Instead of doing blog only goals I will do my blog goals and my personal goals. And I’ll tell you about both at the end of the month. This will hold me even more accountable and you can see what goes on. π
I hope you enjoyed this post! Love y’all and talk soon! (Tomorrow!!)
And don’t forget! I’m selling a craft pack! Check it out here. π

Wait, are you already in college? No offense, but you donβt seem over 18 to me. Or, are you just in dual credit courses?
Anyway, Iβm really excited about those changes! They sound great.
Also, congrats on finishing your novel! How many words is it? I wrote a (novella?) book, but it was only around 25k.

I’m in mostly college courses, just math at home. I’m 14.
Thanks! It’s 35K.
And it’s okay. I’m much more mature in person.

Ok, that makes sense. You seem about that age to me. Thatβs awesome that youβre doing college courses though!
35k is very significant, especially at 14. I didnβt write my novel til I was 15, so youβre doing great!(though I did write a bunch of short stories.)

To be honest, it can be good and bad. Especially depending on your age and then what people think you are. And why hey think that. My sister, for example, looked young for a LONG tome so everyone thought I was older even though Iβm five years younger.
