weathered things

WHOO this was a long time coming. Yes, I"m not posting on a Monday. I missed the 2nd, so I'm posting on the 5th. I promise there'll be a Monday post next week (I'm literally so excited for that one). The Minneapolis Young Writer's Workshop was AMAZING this year. Last year was great, but they totally took it up five levels this year. The classes were so much more in depth, we got to talk to an agent from Red Sofa Literary, an editor from BlinkYA, and four great authors! Not only did I get to talk to people in the industry, I saw a friend I know from plays when I was younger as well as my old church (if you're reading this wassup Jonah), I saw friends I made from last year, and I made a new friend who is honestly awesome (Kristana hey girl)! If you are able to, I highly suggest attending next year. People from around the states came, and it was so fun to meet with everyone. Sorry this was short, I don't really have much to say other than that it was...

I really suggest that you attend this, even if you aren't in Minnesota. Get a plane ticket, fly over, write with friends. I met a few people from around the country who have traveled to attend and it's so worth it! I am going to be selling my book there (signing them too, probably) on a tiny little side table (or something, we're still working on exactly how I'll sell them), and I am very excited about that. The authors this year look SO fantastic! Sabaa Tahir ( An Ember in the Ashes ), Shannon Hale ( Princess Academy, Austenland ), Ally Condie ( Matched Trilogy, Summerlost, Atlantia ), Jonathan Frie...

Hello Lovelies! Sorry this didn't come out on Monday, I had a back-to-school thing and then I went to the zoo with my friend. So, this was going to be a different topic and then I looked at my calendar and realized it was the last day of August. So you will get it next week. Either way, let's get started! Life • Bullet Journaling. I mentioned this in my July wrap-up. I tried it out for all of July and the beginning of August, but I just couldn't do it. I became very busy with my book, school preparations, and other stuff. I kinda just forgot about it. • I began a regular work out regimen. Now, being a writer, I spend most of my time on the computer. When I was little, I was incredibly active. And when I was incredibly active, I was very healthy (despite being allergic to the entire world). So I started a workout modeled after The Arrow. I found it on Nerd Fitness, a website with fandom-themed workouts. This is the one I took inspiration from. I didn'...
