Wayyyyy back in one of my earliest blog posts, I said I wouldn't know for sure if I'd keep up this blogging thing until six months have passed. Well lo and behold, the six month mark was passed a few days ago and I'm still here! I guess that means I'm sticking around for a … Continue reading The Six-Month Mark
Milestone
I've noticed that when I'm really excited about what I'm writing and it no longer feels like work, I get more writing done. For example, today I finished the first draft of Book 3, began the first draft of Book 4, and typed up over four thousand words. I guess it's been a pretty big … Continue reading Milestone

My family on my mom's side is really big. My grandparents had twelve kids, twenty-eight grandkids, and two great-grandkids (and counting!). Pretty much all my cousins on my mom's side are frickin' straight-A perfect people. On top of that, I have a bunch of cousins with black belts in tae kwon do, gym regulars, track-team stars, hockey … Continue reading Support
Updates That Came To Mind
My schedule goes a bit haywire during breaks from school. There's no regular schedule anymore, so on a day like today I'll just stay home and play computer games with messy hair and glasses and tomorrow I'll have a dentist appointment, catch up over coffee with an old high school teacher, and then go to … Continue reading Updates That Came To Mind

Some pieces you might see repeatedly are the white shoulder bag which I got at a shop called Miss Coquines in … Continue reading Outfits in Paris
Everything
It can be the most awkward thing running into someone from high school who you don't really know well enough to say hi to. That happened today as I was window shopping while waiting for my dog Foxy to receive her annual grooming. She came out of it looking like a big pom-pom, like the … Continue reading Everything
My Room So Far…
Previously, on My Room... Last August, I was presented with a new bedroom and the challenge of decorating it within a budget and a simple set of rules: I can't use black paint, I can't replace the carpet, and I have to do all my own painting. I set fourth with an ambitious plan and … Continue reading My Room So Far…
Coming in Summer 2015
My summer schedule is quickly filling up. Not only am I still working on my bedroom, looking at possible summer jobs, and hoping to fit in some classes, but there's also the possibility of a few day trips, some camping, and other summer-y things. There should be no shortage of things to blog about this … Continue reading Coming in Summer 2015
Friends and Family
I was trying so hard to get used to the idea of my little brother getting older. For the past three months I was going around in a stupor, repeating to myself "Bub's going to be twelve soon. Bub's going to be twelve soon." I convinced myself of it. Then I got home and discovered he … Continue reading Friends and Family
Flying Companions
I meant to write yesterday but thanks to the roundness of the Earth, I was out like a light by 8pm. Not to worry, I will catch you up on everything that has been going on. After Paris, I stayed with Sarah and her family until yesterday when I had a morning flight back home … Continue reading Flying Companions
