I’m Anoushka (formerly known by a couple of other random names, but I currently like this one better, so that is what you shall remember). Welcome, human, to my little corner of the internet, my blog – Dipped in Ink, a cozy (or sometimes not) little place where I share my opinions on books, rave endlessly about my terrible writing skills and my busy, chaotic life, and, most importantly, a place where I can escape from this horrid old reality that seems to be my very worst enemy. Oh and I also talk a lot about my hatred of time, so that’s important.

sometimes all the months go by in a blur of days and you're left wondering how you landed in april in the first place. it's just the slightest bit surreal looking back over half-drafted february wrap ups when you should be working on one of the present month. it's also ridiculous how we celebrated new… Continue reading the olive’s #amcurrently update for the 30th of april || ft. the island where the volcra abandoned her and what she’s been doing (APART FROM WRANGLING OUT AN INTERNET CONNECTION FROM SAND-DENSE THIN AIR, OBVIOUSLY)

decembers have the habit of being one of the most eventful times of year. mostly because of all the vacations. vacations are the only times out-of-normal things deem it alright to happen. such as discovering magic inside cupboard spaces or having giants accidentally break open your hotel door and whisk you away to magiclands. or… Continue reading december inked on paper || look at me being habitually rebellious and posting december recaps at a time that most other people save for those of the present month.

i have a memory of last year i keep thinking about a lot. the last day of 2021. me being convinced i could become world ruler if i just POSTED MORE. and therefore putting up an entire timetable right above the desk where my computer usually sits. that place people sometimes use to hang up… Continue reading welcome to 23 || wherein we create goals for the new year and casually proceed to forget all about them (BECAUSE WE MUST KEEP UP #HABITS DARNIT) ft. becoming queen of the dragons and other goals for 2023

i currently have all the library books stacked around me on the bed, along with all the stolen ones from my sister's stack.

welcome to that one time of the year when we're forced to acknowledge all the dangerously real fact-shaped things lying in wait beyond the woods. i'll let you in on a secret. it's a sad one. a possibly dark one. it might crush your soul SO BE WARNED AND DON'T SUE ME LATER. there's only… Continue reading the end of the year book tag (the 2022 version) || wherein people freak out over yearly changes AND PAST CONQUESTS THAT HAVE TRAGICALLY FAILED. also books. because there’s always books.

november inked on paper || welcome to the last time we ever get to add 22 to the end of a date. i’m actually very sad.

november was such a weird month. november was crowds and people and dogs and chaos. it was fancy dresses and weddings and basically just a whirlwind of things happening, most of which don't even make sense anymore. but i vaguely remember it being fun. i majorly just recall it being disappointing. although the disappointing part… Continue reading november inked on paper || welcome to the last time we ever get to add 22 to the end of a date. i’m actually very sad.

that time when loveless ran completely contradictory of its title and had me flailing over printed pages || my life is perfect

maybe one of the best selling points of a world-loved author is when their books are ridiculously easy to binge-read within the smol lengths of a mere four hours. in other words, ALICE OSEMAN PROBABLY DESERVES TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD SOMEDAY. although i wouldn't exactly encourage the idea too much, because MAKING THE WORLD… Continue reading that time when loveless ran completely contradictory of its title and had me flailing over printed pages || my life is perfect

september inked on paper || WHO THE HELL IS IN CONTROL HERE??? and HOW DARE THEY break my reputation of BEING FABULOUSLY UNPUNCTUAL??? HOW DARE YOU, BOB

Anoushka18 Comments

if we started a conversation about the kind of month september ended up being, i'd possibly run away into the far, far corners of the haunted woods and never return. haunted woods are ridiculously fascinating. THERE'S SO MANY SECRETS AND DARKNESS AND FUN. there's also the slight possibility that you might someday stumble upon hidden… Continue reading september inked on paper || WHO THE HELL IS IN CONTROL HERE??? and HOW DARE THEY break my reputation of BEING FABULOUSLY UNPUNCTUAL???
