As you can see by the title, I'm officially 16 today! I'm slowly realizing that as you get older, birthdays seem less magical and more like any other day. The differences are, one, everyone acts more generous and patient with you, and two (if you're turning an age like 16, 18 or 21), you have…
As I promised, I bought a friend for Tibby! I decided to vlog the whole thing, and I'm so glad I did. Tibby's reaction was absolutely hilarious! Check it out here, or head over to my new YouTube channel 'Whistle Pigs.' I'm also still deciding on a name for guinea pig #2, so I'd love…
So my Mom, Lucas, Amelia and I were out yesterday grocery shopping, and I told my Mom that I wanted to get a betta fish. I've been asking to get a small pet for years, but I've only ever been allowed fish. When I was eight I had a rabbit (Princess Selenia), and since I…
So I must admit that I received way less entries than the last writing contest I hosted here on Writers BloK. In fact... there were no entries this time. Everyone's been a bit busy I guess, and I did have a few people tell me (both through Writers BloK and email) that they wanted to enter but…
Okay, so maybe vampire books are overdone- especially vampire romances- but I thought of an idea that I like to think is original. I started writing it on Wattpad, and decided to share it to those of you who won't judge me for writing about vampires! To escape the pain of a recent heartbreak, Cassie…
If you didn't know, yesterday was the first the day of Camp Nanowrimo, the spring version of the National Novel Writing Month challenge. If you haven't started the challenge yet, don't worry! It's never too late to start- as long as April isn't over when you read this, of course. Without Nanowrimo, I would probably…
Chapter Ten Katniss leaves the cave, and I lay alone in the darkness thinking about… thinking about everything. There’s not a single thought that I go over in my brain, but a series of several thoughts. How can I pick one? Everything is so overwhelming, so confusing, so perfectly perfect while also dreadfully dreadful. My…
Here's a Hunger Games music video I made to the song 'Let Me Down Slowly' by Alec Benjamin. I feel like Peeta would sing this song to Katniss. What do you think? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3i9qs8jnz8g&feature=youtu.be
Hello everyone, I just wanted to do a quick post to honor one of our cows, Dixie. She passed away this morning, leaving her sister Winnie behind. Winnie seems pretty confused right now, but hopefully going out to spend time with her over the next few days will help her. Dixie was a sweet, completely…
I've been getting more and more into writing YA romance. I started this novel two days ago and could use some opinions. Critiques are certainly welcome! Chapter One It wasn’t love at first sight. I’ve known Jean since middle school, or rather, I knew of him. It wasn’t until sophomore year that I started crushing…
