🍃
2. Cover reveal for book four in the Hawthorne Chronicles is also this Monday, July 22nd!!!

“A writer is a writer not because she writes well and easily, because she has amazing talent, or because everything she does is golden. A writer is a writer, because even when there is no hope, even when nothing you do shows any sign of promise, you keep writing anyway.” - Junot Diaz 🍃

This speaks to me so much today. I’m in the part of the book where everything seems like it’s going wrong. Like I can’t get two sentences put together correctly. My characters are as confused as I am. 🍃
.
But the ONLY way I can get over this hurdle, the ONLY way I can tell this story, is if I keep writing. So tonight, after work and church, that’s exactly what I’m going to do. 🍃
.

There’s 14 days left in #campnanowrimo! You can do it! 🍃
“Sometimes I feel like we might burn down the world to cindery bits, with our love, our rage, and everything in between.” - The Grace Year, Kim Liggett 🍃

Honestly, this book. I read it in basically one sitting. The writing is beautiful and powerful and it stays with you. It gave me serious The Power feels, but I loved it more. I’ve been thinking about it all day, and still angry at some parts. Definitely my favorite Kim book!🍃
.
.
Now, I’m not sure how I’m supposed to work on my own book. Ha. 🍃
.

What was the last book you read that stayed with you? 🍃
Happy Monday, friends! It’s #campinstawrimo mid-month check in! How are you doing? 🍃
.

I’m a little behind. Was out with a migraine most of last night (and it’s still lingering on) so no words for me. I’m taking it slow today, doing some handwritten planning. I left a huge clue to my story in the picture, and I’m seriously excited about it. 🍃
.
.
Hope your Monday is filled with awesome! 🍃
Happy Friday!! I’m so ready for the weekend! 🍃
.
.
I was only supposed to read 50 pages of this one last night and ended up finishing the whole thing. I really enjoyed it, even though parts were predictable to me. But that’s what happens when you read a lot. I really enjoy Riley’s writing style, so I’m excited for my next read by him. 🍃
.
.
I have a 5K plan for #campnanowrimo tomorrow. We shall see what happens. It’s been a tough going this week. But I keep on pushing through! That’s how books are written, after all. 🍃
.
.
What are your plans for the weekend? 🍃
#tbt to that one time I got my Instagram wings 🍃
.
.
Today’s #campinstawrimo prompt is: Hot Dogs or S’mores? 🍃
.
Can I chose shish kabobs instead? That’s what we always prepared when we camped and I kind of miss it. Ukrainians know how to prepare the meat! 🍃
.
.
In other news, I’m struggling with my writing right now. I’m not sure what it is, but the last two days have been something. I might have to purge and delete everything I’ve written and start over. But I don’t think I’m there yet. I guess we shall see. Hope everyone is meeting their goals! 🍃

I loved Across the Universe and Saving June! I heard Obsidian is awesome! I can't wait to read it! I also want to read The Summer I Turned Pretty, and The Statistical Possibility of Love At First Sight.
An ipad too! Wow amazing IMM!

I really liked Slice Of Cherry. I reviewed it in the beginning of 2011 – but it's very creepy and definitely different from anything I've read in the YA genre.
I love the LJ Smith bind ups that S&S puts out.
The Statistical Probability Of Love at First Sight is fantastic. I mean, if you like Anna And The French Kiss, you will like Statistical.
I still haven't read Across The Universe, boo. But I'm still excited to check it out.

Awesome haul! I'm interested to see your review of Slice of Cherry- I bought it a couple of months ago and then returned it because it sounded to scary for what I like to read. And The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight is so good!
Thanks for stopping by Des Absurdites!
