Hello homies!

Just thought I'd try that out 'cause I really love the word homie. Yeah, yeah, I'm weird. I know. I write books, so of course I'm not normal.

Today I'm gonna talk about the horror that is writer's block.

You see, for  a while, I didn't believe in writer's block. It took me less than four months to write Blood Princess. I could've finished it even sooner if Netflix didn't exist. But it does, and I was watching the world's greatest show ever, Roswell, so I took a little more time. Still, four months isn't bad. 

Anyways. 

I am now a believer in writer's block. IT SUCKS. SO MUCH. I HATE IT.  Lately, I can't seem write anything that doesn't make me want to rip it up and feed it to an alpaca.  I can think about my characters all day and night, creating the intricate details of the plot and growing them as people. No big deal. When I try to write, however, my brain turns to spaghetti noodles.

But I've got a sequel to write, so I'm gonna keep on working at it until something finally clicks.

I'm also gonna try reading more. I've heard that reading a good book is sure to get rid of your writer's block in a jiffy, so we'll see if that works.

And now, here's what's currently happening in my life:

Finals: are over! So is school! Thank goodness. I was so done with everything. SUMMER BREAK IS HERE AND I'M LEAVING THE COUNTRY. But forreal. I'm actually going to do that.

Japan: and that's where I'm headed. I'll spend a lovely seven weeks making friends and sharin' Jesus. I'm pumped. I love Jesus, and Japan. Hopefully I'll get a chance to use the Japanese that I know!

Currently reading: I was reading Dark Artifices by Cassandra Clare, but I straight up lost the book. It was $17 dollars, too. I'm kinda bitter about it. I hope it turns up before my 10 hour plane ride.

Currently watching: Still Gossip Girl. And NCIS....That finale, though?!!? Bye, Tony. Thank you for one last episode full of ALL THE TEARS. Forreal, when I watched it all I could do was cry and eat cookie dough.

Currently thinking: about cookie dough, because that sounds delicious. And about how excited I am for this new makeup I ordered to come in on Monday.  

So there you have it. My life right now. I'll have a guest blogger for the next few months, as I will be in another country and won't have the time to post regularly. Thanks for helping  me out, Tim! You da best. 

Hey guys! I haven't updated on here very much lately, and for that, I apologize.

BLOOD PRINCESS HAS BEEN PUBLISHED. IN PRINT. Like, almost half a month ago.

SO, sorry for slacking. My bad.


My life right now:

Finals: So, those of you who know me, know that while I enjoy the social aspect of school, I'm not fond of the work aspect. Unfortunately for me, finals are fast approaching and that means EVERYTHING is basically due next week. So, I've got lots of work to do.

Sequels: I'm still typing away on the sequel. It's a lot different writing a sequel than it is writing a first book. It's fun, but different. Kind of like coming back from summer vacation or moving onto the next season of your favorite TV show. It's kinda cool.

Japanese: Still lovin' it. It's the exception to my hatred of schoolwork. I LOVE learning Japanese. I always enjoy class and even actually enjoy taking Japanese tests. I know, that's weird, but it's my life. Japanese is awesome.

Currently reading: Unfortunately, nothing. I am typing away at my book and I've been more focused on that than I have been on reading anything. Feel free to hit me up with suggestions of books in the comments, though. I'm going to be on a 16 hour plane ride this summer and I will DEFINITELY need some good books to read.

Currently watching: ....Gossip Girl. I watched, like, 11 episodes yesterday. I just get so absorbed. It's all my roomate's fault. WHY HAVE YOU DONE THIS TO ME. Just kidding! I love ya. Also, NCIS, because Gibbs. And Tony. And McGee. And Abby. And literally every character that's on the show.

Currently thinking: That I would really like a nap. Naps are so good.


Awesome! There's an update for you. I'm working on a playlist for the next book that I'm gonna post sometime soon, Just a song for each chapter that will leave you wondering what on earth the next book could possibly be about. Isn't that fun?!

Alright, well, that's all for today! See you guys later!
