An Introduction to my NaNoWriMo Novel || LOTS of sand + illusions + unnamed characters + AESTHETICS + I AM INSANELY EXCITED

If I’m being completely truthful, there’s only two things in this world worth living for (okay, see, I didn’t say surviving, right? so completely analyze the FACTS before you directly jump to the conclusion that the person writing this is a maniac. though she might be. just sayin’. A FAIR WARNING) : 1) reading 2) writing

And since we usually talk about reading on here, and though it is the best thing in the world, and generally very, very amazing, we shall talk about WRITING today because I do not want to have people getting bored and running away, right? WRONG because I have been very brave and daring and also unusually stupid (did this even come as a surprise? i really don’t think so), I have decided to partcipate in NaNoWriMo this year and I am scared and nervous and excited and aghhh, YOU DO NOT LIKE BEING TRAMPLED UPON BY ALL THE EMOTIONS ALL AT ONCE AND END UP LIKE A MELTED, DIRT FILLED LITTLE PUDDLE OF AN ICE CANDY WAITING FOR SOME DREAMY LITTLE PERSON TO STEP ON YOU AND RUIN THEIR NEW, GORGEOUS LITTLE SHOES, OKAY! so. lo behold, my brand new NaNoWriMo account.

September Inked on Paper || late wrap – ups are my tradition, okay?! And I was busy

I TRULY WONDER…

How DO people stick to schedules?* I NEED TO KNOW YOUR SECRETS, because it would be really helpful for many things such as:

  • writing monthly recaps on time (seriously, this one is SO on time, I am the most punctual human on Earth, I can’t even – WHY. IS. THIS. SO. LATE???)
  • reading ARC’s before they expire
  • reading library books before they have to be returned (WHY DO I HAVE TO RETURN THEM AT ALL?? this is such an unfair world)
  • STAYING ON TRACK WITH YOUR GOODREADS CHALLENGE
  • Going to bed early so that you do not accidentaly doze off while you’re supossed to be learning about cell structures
  • not studying for tests 5 minutes before class because YOU FORGOT
  • not forgetting to breathe because ugh, I need to live
  • publishing blog posts on time
  • not losing memory

Featured Image for blog tour of City of Shattered Light

MY FIRST EVER BLOG TOUR!!!

For lack of anything better to say, let me just welcome you to my blog and my tour stop for City of Shattered Light by Claire Winn and no, I am DEFINITELY NOT skipping the intro because I do not want to talk about how I’ve pretty much disappeared from the blogosphere for the past week or so. Thank you to the Author, Netgalley and TBR and Beyond Tours for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

[Book Review]: The Inheritance Games || #1 guide to making a fantasy lover a mystery geek??

I AM CONFUSED.

And I don’t mean confused by the plot or the mystery. I am confused in my own opinions regarding this book. One moment i loved it so much i was fangirling and screaming so hard, and the next, i was screaming again. But this time because i was irritated? At some point I thought this was going to be my new favorite book but the next second i thought it wasn’t THAT amazing. Ugh. I KNOW I DON’T MAKE SENSE RIGHT NOW. NO NEED TO RUB IT IN, okay?

Why bookworms are a threat to society? || Why the bookworm community is being kept from overpopulation??

You know how everyone hates the classics they make us read in English classes at school?

Because I am absolutely jobless, I’ve been thinking about that a lot these past couple of days. And I have arrived at the reason they do that, or at least, the reason I think they do it. So, lo behold (is that the way you say it? Honestly, I am absolutely clueless) the answer to why schools like to make people hate reading for all of eternity –

August Inked on Paper || School, homework, reading slump + some snippets from my WIP!!

August is over and… school and time have signed a deal to help each other torture me together *sigh*

Monthly wrap ups are my most favorite posts to write. Because I can look back at how unproductive I’ve been over the month and I love looking back. I also get to talk about life in general and I like that, and I can write LONG posts and I love long posts because it gives me more time and space to ramble on about nothing, and I love that too. *glares* So, welcome to my first monthly wrap up on Dipped in Ink!

explanations, introductions, and restarting (??) my blog // certain lifely things and an all-o’er-the-place post

the person writing this is currently a melted ice candy due to the unbearable heat and the air conditioner that isn’t working.

i can tell you from personal experience that being a melted ice candy isn’t the best thing in the world. you miss out on all the important things in the world. like:

  • reading books you’ve already read for the 274th time just because you can
  • writing words into the heartless void
  • talking about all the books you’ve always meant to write and about how desperately you love the crows. BECAUSE THEY’RE LIFE GOSHDARNIT
  • typing faster than your fingers can keep up and then ending up with numb hands that do nothing. (this is a nightly occurrence around here and i still haven’t learnt my lesson)
  • screaming. about the unfairness of real life and everything it entails. (ice candies don’t have mouths capable of spouting off words ok)
  • crying a little.
