Hi, guys!! ❤ Life has been a whirlwind the past couple weeks, so apologies for my unplanned absence so far this month. There’s been some pretty big ups and downs, so I just haven’t been able to sit down and sink my teeth into blogging during all of it. But, I’m back, and I figured I’d throw together a quick update post full of Blah Blah Blah’s to catch up a little bit.
BLAH #1: Instagram has really been a lot of fun so far! I know I was late to the party on that one, but better late than never, right? 😉 I’ve mostly been posting drawings, photos of Bailey, bookstagram and breakfast posts so far. Due to a busy schedule it’s been a lot easier updating on there more frequently, but I still love the blogging life and all my blogging buddies, so it’s good to be back! ❤
BLAH #2: I’ve been drawing more, just like I said I wanted to. For the new year I treated myself to a new sketchbook, so the un-official goal is to fill it up by the end of the year with new drawings. 🙂 I’ve posted a couple WIP pieces on Instagram, but I’ll post some more here soon as well.
BLAH #3: Writing has been going really well. Usually fall seems to be my big creative season, but this winter I feel like I’ve really hit my stride again with my writing. It feels great. I have been learning to navigate my way around Scrivener. (Thank goodness for Youtube tutorials!!) It has some pretty damn snazzy tools and features for writers and I feel like it’s been helping keep me focused and on track with my writing since I started using it. Big thanks again to the lovely Cupcakes and Machetes for gifting it to me for my birthday! ❤ I’m the sort of person who likes practical gifts and this was the perfect surprise. I’m using the hell out of it and it’s helping me a lot as I work on my story.
BLAH #4: In reading news, I’m currently doing a Harry Potter re-read/buddy read with the previously mentioned C&M. Neither of us seem to re-read books very often since there’s just sooo much out there to be read, but I’ve greatly been enjoying re-reading this one. Most. Magical. Buddy. Read. EVER.
Anywhoooo, that’s about it for me right now. How have you guys all been doing?? I’m so behind on everyone’s posts so it’ll take me a hot minute to try to catch up a bit, so feel free to fill me in on any exciting news of yours I may have missed. I hope everyone has been having a great February so far. Have a wonderful weekend! ❤
Yay! I’m glad you like Scrivener so much! Now when I’m working on stuff, I’m thinking, “Damn Scrivener would be nice.” Lol. I still won’t buy it though until I’ve fully committed to writing. I’m hoping to get a little work done on that front this weekend since I slacked on it last weekend.
I’ve finished HP so we should discuss as soon as you’re done! ❤

Hey kid welcome back! Just make sure you think of the ups when you’re experiencing the downs. I’ve been on IG about a year and what it lacks I get on WP and that’s friends and a community type feeling. IG feels like high school but WP feels like an exclusive club for like minded nutcases hehe.

Yeah, WP is hands down my favorite social media type thing as well. So many great people on here, yourself included, of course! 😛 The community is just fantastic here!
