What Happened in July (nothing, I'm boringggg)

Image
Whoo! Can you believe July is already ending? I can't, it flew by so fast! Two of my sisters reading my current wip.  I'm still working on Alex's POV and it's going smoothly!  'School is a nightmare even worse than a dream about my face getting bashed in, because unlike that dream, school is a reality. A reality that is always hard to face, but today I’d rather pull out my teeth one by one with a rusty pair of plyers than brave those cold halls.' -I volunteered at another church camp, it was a ton of fun but exhausting!  -I went to an old retro theater to watch the  The Shining, which I'll talk about later. -My family and I went to Galveston and I took pictures, which you can read about here .  -I got bored one day and wrote two pages of song titles off the top of my head, on sale for $6.99 (just kidding!) -I got a free book from the library about The Lord of the Rings!!! *squeals* I love it. <3 That one day when your makeup looks decent. 😅 I'm cons...

What Music do I Listen to While Writing?

So there's this question I've gotten a few times: My usual answer: But today I'll be answering in more detail! So of course, I have a playlist for my current work, Of Broken Things and Paint Splatterings, listen to it here if you want: Wow, that worked?? ^^ I'm very proud of myself!!! Okay, moving on.... Asides from my playlist for my WIP, I sometimes listen to Lindsey Stirling, I'd recommend her if you want mostly instrumental music with no words, her works are amazing, beautiful, and inspiring. One of my favorite songs of hers: I also listen to a lot of Lauren Aquilina's songs simply because I love her voice and her lyrics are usually sad or hopeful which fits the mood I'm usually trying to capture. Of course, I have to include NF, because he is amazing and his music is so moving. His song How Could You Leave Us leaves me in tears every time. Fleurie and NEEDTOBREATHE are also both so beautiful and touching. I also listen to Billie Eilish because she is ...

I went somewhere // Galveston Texas // Here's an unneeded photo dump

So yeah, I went somewhere, surprising I know! Our trip lasted for two days and one night, which might not seem like long, but trust me, when you are in a family of ten it's almost too long. It's a miracle we didn't lose anyone. A neighborhood we drove through, is it weird to take pictures of peoples houses? I'M SORRY BUT THEY WERE TOO LOVELY. I could just show y'all a bunch of pictures and let y'all think that everything was perfect, but hahaha, that would be a tiny lie. So, of course, I had to start my period right before the day of the trip (I would say sorry to any of the guys reading this, but you know what? No, it's a part of life, stop acting like it's disgusting, THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT). And then, I got stung by something three times, I would say a jellyfish but my siblings got stung by them and my wounds look different, almost like really bad carpet burns. Also, I got a really bad sunburn because I'm part ginger and I didn'...
