Update: Volunteering and Reading

By -
Quick update on things right now. If you haven't noticed, I'm starting to skip days and make up for it the next day. It's mostly because in the Summer, I'm starting to juggle more things and it's tough to keep up with all the craziness in my life not to mention my blog. Please, stick with me, and expect tons more reviews.

On Thursday, I finally got a spot to volunteer at my local library. You had to have been a certain age and I just missed the cut last summer, so i was glad to get accepted. My job was to oversee these little kids make father's day cards for their dads. it's so fun to hang out with random middle and high school kids you don't even know and make some kid's day. I definitely recommend volunteering, anywhere to be exact.

I've slowed down how many books I've read, mostly to really push and try to get my third draft written by July. I'm still reading though, re-reading classics and trying out new YA books. I honestly don't know how if I'm going to slow down or pick up reading in the summer, but hey, just got to hope for the best :D

For example, how does one simply think to write about an ungifted kid going to a gifted school? A1-    My story ideas just come to me. I don’t want to question it too much, because I would hate to have it stop happening! But really, most authors don’t require what you call “inspiration.” We write because we have something to say. That’s just about all it takes to start us scribbling. Q2-  I feel like you’ve been asked this a million times, but your strategy for avoiding writer’s block? A2- Can you believe it? I’ve never had writer’s block. I think my reason is that I plan my story thoroughly before I ever put

I've seen YouTube channels do this where they put up a short post and people comment on it with content they want to see. I figure I'd try it out. I have enough people that they're opinion needs to be heard! So anything you want, more Fanfic, Erica POV story to continue, a rant, another wacky Top Ten, a review, a shout out, or anything else simply comment below (there's no limit to the amount of things you ask for!
