Random Update


I Just Wanted to Say...


...Hello to all my beloved blog readers, who put up with all my strange rough-draft stories and are hugely appreciated!! 😜
I figured I would give an update of what I'm up to, since I haven't done that yet. So, here goes....


My Life in General

Christmas holidays!! 🌲 *cheers wildly* We are on Christmas Vacation, visiting friends and family all over. We picked up my sister Tia from YWAM a couple days ago. It's been so nice seeing her after being apart from her for three months! We are now headed to Pennsylvania for Christmas day to visit family. 
My brother broke his leg a couple weeks ago so that changed the trip quite a bit, but he's doing better and getting around well on his crutches... poor boy. At thirteen, he doesn't really enjoy being so dependent on everyone, but he's learning. 
Also, I got to see Niagara Falls!! We stopped there for the night and it was so beautiful with all the water lit up. 











My Writing Life

My writing life has been going very well, actually. I haven't been able to write tons since we're gone but I was able to write a short little story and start another one, which is awesome for me. 
My biggest project right now, though, is a story I'm working on with my coach. It's roughly 15,800 words (which is the length of a short story) and I've written out the first draft. Next comes editing and all that.
I'm really enjoying the process and it's so exciting! 


Conclusion

I hope you enjoyed hearing about all this (hopefully I didn't ramble too much).
I am working on a way to make a sign-up for my email list. So then if you want to be emailed about a new blog post you can. Because I don't want to take up your inbox. That can be a bother.
But it's a work-in-progress...

Well, goodbye and Merry Christmas!! 😘

My New Blog

I know. The title sounds scary. At least to me, it does. I've had this blog since November 5, 2016. THREE YEARS.  But after hours of trying to understand this website, I decided to try a different one.  wordpress.com  is a popular website to many of my fellow friends on Story Embers (a writing website). If so many people like it, then maybe I should give it a try. So three days ago I created an account on WordPress and made a whole new blog. It's also called Alabama, until I come up with a more creative name. 😝  So from now on I will be publishing posts on  alabamasblog.home.blog  which is now my current blog.  It's nice to start fresh, and so far it hasn't been as much of a headache like this one (besides learning how to locate things. But that's normal for something new).  So if you're still interested in the things I have to stay after all this... then please have fun following me on my new blog!  (Although I will give you a fair w...

I don't mean to complain, but....

IT IS FR-EE-ZING. Photo taken from Derek Yutzy's timeline on Facebook We have about a fifty-five percent chance that our car will start. And even if it does, you may not even make it up the hill to your house. Ohh, the joys of living in the boreal forest. Up North. With all season tires . Not the greatest idea. Luckily we bought a new car and all, and it works better than our old one, but it still doesn't have winter tires.  But we are surviving this cold!  Although I am disappointed I haven't been able to play hockey since Christmas.  Ok, I do have a point to this post. I promise I won't just rant about the cold.  Tomorrow I'm turning fifteen.  Hurrah... not so much.  I mean, I like being fourteen. It's a comfort zone thing. (Not to mention it's an even number, and thirteen and fifteen sound strange... I know. The way my brain works is odd.) Anyhow, I'm not super pumped to turn fifteen. I'm not dreading it, s...

Three Awesome Books

Image
Anyone feel up for a book review? I haven't written one before, but I figured I'd give it a shot. I was sitting at my desk trying to decide what I should post about when I remembered how some people do book reviews. But of course, I couldn't decide which book. I mean, there are millions   of books out there that I've read, and I had to pick one?!   I did eventually decide on one but then I changed my mind. Then I picked another.  Then I changed my mind. (indecisive, aren't we?) So then I decided to pick three books and give a short review on each, then pick my   favourite . Like a book contest... If that even exists ... *shrugs* So, the three contestants are........ A Murder for Her Majesty  by Beth Hilgartner Number the Stars  by Lois Lowry and  Our Only May Amelia  by Jennifer L. Holm I will start off by saying that this will be a hard decision for me. I picked three that I love... so at this ...
