Quick Update

So for the last two weeks, there's been people getting sick here at home. It started with my dad then made its way to my sister and mom. I've been the only one healthy, it hasn't been enjoyable but I've managed to avoid it. I don't blame anyone, it just happens from time to time. My sister didn't get it as bad, but my parents were on the worse end of the symptoms. But my sister and I have been taking care of them.

I've been working on a few different things, some things for Amy DC, Amy Marvel, my Power Rangers AU, some original fiction. This month is the 'Now What' for NaNo, which means it's editing time... and I haven't done it. I've place my NaNo story on the back burner for a bit, I want to keep writing before I go back and start the editing process. I plan to pick it back up in February to continue with my story.

Alright, I'll see you all either Friday or next week with a Phillip/Ava piece.

What I Got For Christmas 2018

Hi everyone, I figured that I would share what I got for Christmas this year. It wasn't a lot but it was a good Christmas with my family. My sister and I gave dad a shock with his gift, again. I got mainly DVDs and BluRays for the holiday. But that is fine with me, a couple of these items were things that I wanted for a while.

The Hobbit Trilogy Extended Edition: I have been wanting this for three Christmas's past now. But I finally got it this past Christmas. I own the Lord of the Ring trilogy in the extended edition. I was able to give my dad my theatrical editions of the movies. I haven't had a chance to marathon the series yet, but I'm hoping for a weekend off where I can sit and watch the six films without falling asleep.

Doctor Who- Peter Capaldi Era: Around February of 2018, I started watching Doctor Who, primarily with the Peter Capaldi seasons. Actually I started with the Jenna Coleman episodes. But I didn't particularly love the Matt Smith/Jenna Coleman episodes, they were good but they didn't have the same repertoire as 12/Clara relationship. But they were good episodes to watch. I was excited to open this on Christmas morning as Twelve is my doctor.

Twilight Saga Extended Edition: I got the five Twilight movies, the first four were extended but the fifth one wasn't. I enjoyed the books, when they first came out back in 2005. We marathoned these into the New Year, it was a lot of fun to rewatch these. I did ask myself a lot of questions about why I was rewatching them but it is what it is. It wasn't as horrible as I remembered, but now that I'm older I was able to pick up on the little things that weren't as plainly obvious to me then. I would like to get the 10 year anniversary edition of Twilight but I haven't found it anywhere in my hometown. I'll be looking online for it in the coming weeks.

Last but not least, I got a cute little reindeer pillow. I'm obsessed with deer, they represent a lot to me in my life, which I won't get into. It has a scarf and a jingle bell on it, it is really cute. It's on my bed and one of the comfiest pillows I've ever owned.

That's everything that I got for Christmas. I hope everyone had a happy holiday and great start to the New Year so far. I have been trying to recharge my battery and stress less. Hopefully, I'll have a new post later this week, if not I'll see you next week.

2019... Here We Go

Hello 2019,

I'll be doing the same kind of posting for 2019 that I did in the later half of 2018. Post when I can, at least once a week. It doesn't matter the length or topic but I do want to post at least once a week. Whether it's a journal, short story, fanfic, or poetry. I am thinking about doing book reviews on the blog... I'm not sure since I do have the review blog.

What do you think? Would you like to read about what I'm reading? I am on a couple of ARC teams and I'm apart of a book club, so I will be doing a bit of reading for 2019. I'm sure I'll share what I'm reading with you all anyway.

Actually, let's get to that anyway. I'm reading Pause by Isabella Hale (ARC). The next books will be Demon Born by Christine Pope (ARC), and The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle (BC). I'm also reading Tokyo Mew Mew for my own personal reading. I've got a couple of Kindle books started that I need to finish. Slowly but surely I'll get to them.

2018 was a good year. I had good and bad moments. Some of the big things for me involved my dad's health. He had his gall bladder removed at the end of October, I had been running on a half battery for a while. But I've been feeling great, so far. My battery is 100% and kicking. I lost a couple of family members unexpectedly. It is sad but I know they are looking after our family.

I did a few challenges for myself in the year of 2018. Mermay, Inktober, and NaNoWriMo were the three I did. And guess what, I completed/won all of them. I wanted to get back into drawing/art and I did. That is another focus for 2019 art, do more art. Nothing crazy but doodle in my sketchbook once a week if I can.

I think that's everything. If you have any questions feel free to leave them for me and I will get to them.
