Am I terrible at this? Probably.
But now that I’ve taken an entire creative day to make these dope headings instead of work on my dissertation, maybe creating a single website post won’t seem so daunting. It’s been over a month since I last posted, which means that not all of my New Year’s resolutions and goals are on track, but some are. If you follow me on TikTok, Facebook, or Instagram, you will see that I have been active on those social media platforms…now it’s time to get my website, writing, and dissertation on the same track!
This week, I’m going to be finishing An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson. I really love Rogerson’s writing style and the imagery that she crafts in her worlds are always so fun!
I’ve also started this little indie beauty, Kalani: Shadows of Destiny by Jolene Fine. It has an angels and humans vibe, with the narrators being two separated souls in love.
This week I’ve been fleshing out a series of scenes in the second book of my second series. It follows in the same universe as Tempest Rising, but starts about 15 years into the future. I’m extremely excited to share more details with you all in the future!
In terms of my dissertation, I’m hoping to have the introduction to my advisor by Friday! Whoop Whoop!
I’m not gonna lie, I thought I’d have a tougher time coming up with TikTok video content, but it turns out, once I really started thinking about it, ideas started popping up everywhere. I’ve been working hard on the book videos, but I want to utilize more skits, so the following is the first of a new series of videos that I’m planning to do on Kindle vs. Libby apps.
I listen to EDM music…
Like alot.
Probably too much really, if you were to ask my family.
The Bass Bangers channel on Youtube is always putting out some amazing playlists of my favorite artists, like Illenium, Gryffin, Seven Lions, Mitis, etc. One of my favorite things to do is go on walks every night, and I listen to my favorite playlist of the moment and plot my current work in progress. Here is this week’s obsessive mix. Minutes 10-20 have been on rewind/repeat for several days, as it’s the background to a love scene I’m writing for my second series, book 2.
