April Recap

 I feel like time is going by way faster than it's supposed to, and I don't know how to stop it. Help? 
I had a pretty good April [I think. I can't remember most of it]. How about you? 
Anyway, let's get on with the recap. 
Books I Read in April





Movies/TV Shows I Watched in April



Season One, and part of Season two, but I kind of lost interest in it after awhile.
Seasons Four and Five

Seasons Two and Three
If you've seen the show, who are your favorites? So far I like Fred and Lorne best.

The rest of Season One. 
I love this show so much! Would y'all like to see a review of it [don't question the y'all thing. I know it's weird, but it's oddly satisfying to write]?


And I just re-watched some of my favorite episodes for both shows. I have introduced my family to Buffy, and I think they like it so far. I managed to predict both of my sisters favorites, so that's cool.
Events of April
-I finished editing my novella! One day this month I just decided that I was done with editing and I was going to work until I finished it. After that, I shared it with my family, and they were all really supportive and sweet about it. 
-I was out running errands with my family one day, and we decided to stop at Barnes and Noble [this is where I picked up The Girls I've Been], and one of the cashiers had on a Buffy the Vampire Slayer mask, on the same day that I had on my Buffy shirt, so we complimented each other. It's always nice to see fellow fans IRL.
-Also, I introduced my sister to Stranger Things! It's now her favorite show. My fangirl credit is pretty high this month. *is pleased*
-I spent a ridiculous amount of my free time making fandom collages. I have a bunch, so maybe I'll just make a post about them. 
-Also, there was Easter! How was your Easter? Mine was pretty great. Many desserts were eaten [I mean, that's not why it was great, but it certainly adds to it]. 
Also, I'm doing a Q&A next month, so be sure and comment your questions if you haven't already. 
-I don't think I did anything else that was too interesting? It was a pretty quiet month. 
So, how was your April? Did you do anything exciting?

    It sounds like you had an amazing April, McKayla. :) My April went well, I got at least half of my Gothic Horror story written and I am extremely pleased with it so far.

    Also as for your novella, whenever you're ready, I'd love to read it or read a blog post about it. :D

    I did! Ooh, that's exciting.
    Thanks! I'm not sure if I'll end up doing a post about it or not, but it's nice to know you're interested.

    You read Howl's Moving Castle! What did you think? For some reason when I first read it I wasn't particularly attached (I love it now) but then it sort of took over so I'm always curious what other people's first impression of it is.

    I love when you get to show your fandoms to siblings or other people and they get equally invested. It's the best. It's also a little terrifying because there's always that small part of it that feels like yours and you don't want to share it, at least for me. But again, it's also the best.

    Glad you had such a good April. I agree with the not being able to remember it part. Like it's fine, but also what was it?

    Yeah! I'm so glad Christine made her post about it (back in March) because I was like, "Okay, I need to read this." I definitely really liked it! It was cozy ans whimsical, and fairytale-y, which I loved.
    Yeah! It's really exciting when they love it as much as you do.
    Right! I had a great time this month, but also I barely remember most of it. I guess because not much happened, so all the days kind of blended together in my head.

      I did!
      Thanks. Editing was fun, but I'm glad to be done.
      I do too! It's so good.

    I'm glad that you had a good April! Those collages sound awesome so I would love to see them. Congrats on finishing your novella!!

    Sharing favorite fandoms or just seeing people IRL who love them, too, is the best!

    How was the book Of Fire and Stars? I've never heard of it but the cover is awesome. Ah!!! You finished Julie and the Phantoms!! I would love to read a review of it!! My favorite show ever so I can't wait to see what you say about it.

      I did!
      Yeah, maybe I'll make a collage post. They were all fun to make. Thank you so much!
      It really is! Sharing fandoms is fantastic.
      I have mixed feelings about Of Fire and Stars. I loved the cover, and I thought the romance was cute, but the story and characters were a little flat.
      Yes! I think I'll definitely do a review. I really loved it. Thank you so much for making posts about it. I don't know if I would have watched it without those.

Running Wild in Impractical Outfits Tag

 Hello!  Elizabeth  tagged me for this, and I've been super excited about filling it out. Thank you so much! The Rules -Put a link to her blog,  Autumn Ink - Put a link to your post in the comments section of the original post -Tag people if you want to -Have fun with this tag, and feel free to add things, change locations, or whatever you want -The outfits you choose can be from anywhere you like [movies, books, TV shows, real life, etc.], and they can be as practical or as impractical as you want. Choose with as much flagrant disregard or custom for the rules as you choose.  -You have to bring a different fictional character of your choosing to each location. At The Beach Well, if I were at the beach, I'd probably want to wear a swimsuit, wouldn't I?  I'm not really sure what specific type of swimsuit I'd like, though. Probably just something similar to what I have.  This one is just a picture of a model, but I like the style. I would wear something ...

If I Was A Fictional Character [Tag]

Image
 Hello there! Random Buffy GIF just because.   Sam  did this tag on her blog, and I asked her if I could do it, and she said yes.  This looks like it will be a lot of fun. *rubs hands together gleefully* Share a snippet that includes a description of their appearance: She's flopped out on her bed, furiously typing up a blog post on her laptop. She's tall, and athletic looking with very long legs. She's dressed casually in ripped jeans [she didn't buy them ripped. They just happened to rip while she was wearing them, and they're her most comfortable pair, so she keeps wearing them], a mint green hoodie, and socks with llamas on them. Her hair is medium-length, wavy and light brown with blonde streaks/highlights. Basically my hair is like hers, only longer. Her favorite feature is her eyes. They're dark brown, and usually hidden behind glasses.  She has a small and wide nose, thin eyebrows, and a huge grin.  She's not sure if she's pretty or not, but she l...

In Which I Talk About My WIP

Image
 Greetings, friends! So, during my semi-hiatus, I did get to do a little more writing than usual, so I thought now would be a good time to talk about my WIP. So, here we are. I stole   borrowed this tag from Christine's blog. Technically, you're supposed to do it doing NaNo, but I'm doing it now.  What first sparked the idea for this novel? I'm not....totally sure. I know the idea first came to me in November 2020. It came from me wanting to write a book with magical powers, and I've always liked elemental magic, so that's sort of how it got started. Originally, I'd imagined it as a TV show, actually, and it was just a fun idea to play around with in my head, but then I ended up tweaking it a little, and it's now it's a whole novel. Share a blurb [or just an overall summary if you'd prefer]? I think I'll probably just give a summery, honestly, because that's easier. It's summertime. For most high schoolers. that means swimming, a nice...
