Hey everyone, happy late December! (I'm a few days late, sue me, ha).
What is up everyone, welcome to the month of Winter's beginnings. NaNoWriMo was officially over a week ago and surprisingly I kicked it's ass! o-O It's so weird, but it felt awesome to win the event for the first time ever. I somehow managed to get to the 50k with five words ahead and only 2.5 hours remaining. I could've written more if I wanted too, but I had other homework to attend too at that time, including now since it's finals time.
Anyway, I'll keep this post short and basically go over the concept of what are the future plans I have in store for you all. I plan on writing throughout the majority of my month long break and posting on watt pad. When I have my first actual story posted on the 19th, I will be putting a link of it in my next post for you guys to enjoy. Along with that, I'm currently prepping for the booktube account I mentioned a little while ago and I'm praying I don't sound like a major idiot on you tube. Like the watt pad, I will be posting a link of my channel in the next post. However, I will not be posting a video till January 1st, mainly because of the 'new year' fever, but rest assure the videos will be began and also I will be returning with blog posts as well.
That's all I really got to say at the moment, right now finals are kicking my ass and I have to get back to work. Bye for now wolves and remember:
happy howling!

NaNoWriMo Post: The final countdown, help us all.
Hello my fellow wolves!
So I'm returning here to give you all a update on NaNoWriMo and let me tell you something important because I think you may take this to heart if you are a student like I am. NaNoWriMo is hard as all living hell!! School will kick your sorry butt into the curb till you will become brain-dead once all of the major school you have done is completely. Don't get me wrong, going to college will help you get somewhat further in life and I'm not bitching about that, but after dealing with so much crap and school work, it makes writing fairly difficult. I will tell you know, I am really surprise to be at 26k right now and I truly didn't think I would get that far this year in school, but hell if I lose this year's event, I will be happy to be where I am at now than to never start it from the get-go.
Since we are nearing the end of the event, I bet all of you are speed demon writing like I am just to get to a high ass word count. As a writer, I will push you and tell you to keep going because after writing for a certain amount of time, you will develop the urges to keep writing even when you can't because of life in general. The urge is strong I tell ya, it's crazy. If you are doing well, then congrats you're kicking ass, but if you're like me and are lacking, it's okay, keep trying even if you don't have the emotional and mental energy to do. I'm telling you, this event will make you grow as a writer. I promise. If you keep trying, things will get you far in writing.
In other relatable news, I've decided to try out book-tubing next year. I'm sort of figuring out, what better way to try to meet writers/readers than by doing that. I've always wanted to try it, but never had the guts to do it (plus I'm not that pretty to stare at..). But, considering I am going to be done with my second-to-last semester of my senior year in college, I'm starting to warm up to the idea of book-tubing. When I watch the other book-tubers like Polandbananasbooks, katy-tastic, etc and authors like Susan Dennard-- I get so excited because of the way how they are able to geek about books and other things freely without the bitter judgments. In a way, I feel like I need to start making a impact in literature and give out my opinion as a repayment to other writers and readers that want to explore the world that fiction and art can give us.
But yeah, that's all for now. Till I get things set up, I will be posting the links to share and get some stories prepped up for you guys on watt pad as well.
Till next time, guys.
Happy howling!

Weekly post of NaNoWriMo One
Hello everyone, welcome to November and in the writer's world-- NaNoWriMo! So I know I promised to be around more in the blogging world, but school took over my soul. Damn you college and the senior year. Okay, small hate rant over, let's talk.
NaNoWriMo is a time of heaven and frantic hell. A time where the writers to come together and enjoy our company to share our stories and bounce off inspiration. But, it's also a fun contest. Now I know what you're going to ask me, 'Do you win anything? How is this a contest?', in all honestly on my part, when I talk about a contest for NaNo-- it's basically a personal contest. A mental and emotional goal to yourself to reach the 50,000 word mark of whatever novel you're currently writing. I mean yeah you don't really any official prize, but you do get a chance to feel the burst of excitement when the creative juices pour into your mind and the empty/unfinished document you have sitting on your laptop.
It's suppose to encourage you as a writer and have fun with other writers around you in your home town or in another part of the world. It's a fun global event that I personally recommend for you guys to try out some time. Hell, you can join right now and get your butt into speed writing. This is a hard and fun event, but very fulfilling if you are truly serious as a writer.
In my personal weekly update, I'm somewhat close to the daily word count, but if as a college student, it is very difficult to maintain doing the event and keeping a keen eye on making yourself write. Since the event started, I somehow managed to get to 10k with my draft thus far, but this weekend was seriously lacking on my end and I didn't meet the word count for the last two days. So at this very moment, I'm working on it for day 9 so I can update the word count this coming Wednesday, why you ask? Well because I can, muhahaha and I also want to see if anyone will catch up or smash me like a ton of bricks with their high word count. Oh course that being said, I do have to keep up with the homework since I do have a major paper due on the 21st and some other wacko stuff approaching soon, so I'm not sure how this is gonna work out with NaNoWriMo.. I don't know, my school life is odd, like yours I'm sure. Hehehe.
So how are you guys doing in NaNoWriMo? Let's chat about it in the comments below. I hope to hear from you guys. And remember, Happy Howling my fellow wolves, stay tune for a few upcoming reviews for the week and next Sunday's NaNoWriMo weekly update on Sunday the 16th.
Bye for now!

~Over due~ Personal update: 8/29/14
~HELLO EVERYBODY!~
How's life been for you guys?! I'm so (1000+) sorry for not updating as much I should, but things gotten odd and busy since the last time I wrote to you all. Since my last post which was around late July (wow so a month, damn!), I've been doing odd things yet again, but it was mostly getting ready for school and work. But luckily, I can tell you guys even more weird stuff that occurred in my life. Let's get started my fellow wolves!
First things first, I'm finally 21 as of August 10th! In all truth here, being twenty one is still feels like you're a kid, but instead even more 'adult' responsibilities are handed to ya (which sucks). Yeah its fun to feel like an adult, people of age are pretty much still at risk for getting into some deep shit, but instead of getting the easy way out, you're shit out of luck.
Second, I went to my first ever concert with my buddy aka best friend in the city right before school began, do you wanna guess who we saw??. (Pictures are blurry, fair warning)
You guessed it...

LINKIN PARK!!! (30 seconds to Mars and AFI)... We were close to the stage when Linkin park was performing, but I couldn't get pictures of them performing, so the screen was a giant help. Linkin Park is a huge favorite of mine and I consider Chester and Mike to be heroes in my heart through their music. They help me get through some tough shit and the ideas I get for certain stories from these songs are simply amazing (in my head oh course hehe). I hope you guys will have the chance to enjoy their voices because they don't disappoint in person. It was breath taking.
Alright enough about that, so the third thing I will like to point out: prompt writing is awesome. Now let me explain why I state this. Once a upon a time, I hated prompts mainly because of the way my mind worked when it came to writing in the past, but ever since I found some interesting ones to try out, I grew to enjoy them and it actually helps with the focus to actually write something down for future writing time, even if it is short or a pain to come up with a quick idea for it.
Lastly, I'm back in school. This time however, I'm a senior and almost able to touch the bachelor's degree with my bare hands. It's just so weird to think that I'm going to have this particular and the first one in my family to obtain it, especially if you're a weirdo like I am.. I mean, regardless of almost getting this degree, I'm still at odds with the classes I'm taking as an English Major. I rather take writing classes to benefit my writing for you guys, but at the same time-- I do like to read and learn about the histories of writers from all over the world. It's amazing how some of them were the shy ones like we are and somehow, they made history. I can't wait to be a part of that history, so we must learn everything for knowledge right?! :)
In conclusion, things in this writer's life is still odd, but I will try to update more for you guys about my actual writing and reviews. I hope you guys enjoy the rest of your summer/winter (in other countries) and good luck in your studies. :)
Happy Howling my fellow wolves!<3
