Paper and Quill

  Another month is gone and a new one in its place. The school year is coming to a close and man, I cannot wait for summer break.  Camp NaNo ended yesterday and I'd say it went a lot better than November's NaNoWriMo. I gave myself a few goals for the month but completed little to nothing of them. I did complete Camp with 16K out of my goal of 20K, which is a lot more than I expected to get.  My May goals are nothing much, as I will have to focus most of my time on homework. I'm hoping to devote a little more time to finishing the books I am currently reading, but I doubt much will be done. My writing goals consist of a total word count goal of 20K and finishing the plotting and worldbuilding of my WIP, ATOR.  Have a lovely week! Until next time, Farren ♡

*runs in* *skids a bit too much and crashes into the wall* *runs back to where I’m supposed to be* heyoooo guys~! Sorry that this post is so late! Happy 2021! Wow. 2020 is over and done with. “Well, that was very anticlimactic.” -Literally every movie like ever <><><> 2020 was definitely a hard one for all of us — some more than others. Anxiety and depression fell like a thick curtain over us all. Isolation is a less than ideal place to be. We’ve all learned that in one way or another this year. 2020 started out as an amazing year for me. I turned 14 mid-January. I started hanging out twice as much with my best friend. I joined the student leadership committee at my youth group. I had a surreal time at camp with my friends. Life was finally turning up for me. I was getting the hang of my classes. I was making new friends. It couldn’t have gotten better than that. March seventeenth. My friend texts me, “Hey! Have you heard about the new executive order?” And, of course...

 Wow! Another month has past! Can't believe it!  <><><> WRITING: OCTOBER October went pretty good in this area. I wrote several poems, and a short story. Let's see, my goals were: Prepping for NaNoWriMo Working on my poetry And writing a short story for world building my NaNo novel.  Prepping for NaNoWriMo went pretty good, actually. It was a bit hurried towards the end because I didn't start as early as I should've, but I got the main things down. My poetry also went pretty good. I have, in total, 5 new poems! The short story didn't happen, but it would've been tricky to manage with my schedule. WRITING: NOVEMBER GOALS Write my NaNo novel! SCHOOL  School's a nightmare right now. All my teachers decided right around the start of mid-term that they're going to assign twice as much homework. So. I've been struggling through boatloads of overdo work. ARTING I think I did a bit of journaling at the beginning of the month, but it sort o...

  Wooooo! We survived yet another month in quarantine! Happy October and may your blogging/writing/arting/whatever-you-do-for-a-hobby go great this month! ^-^ <><><> WRITING: SEPTEMBER  September produced almost nothing worth keeping. I got a few poems written though, so, yay for that. 😆 WRITING: OCTOBER GOALS October is also called Preptober in the land of NaNoWriMo novelists, making prepping for NaNoWriMo top priority this month. 😜 Work on poetry.  Write a short story for world building my NaNo novel.  SCHOOL  School was pretty hectic in September, as I was still easing into a good groove. This month it should be easier.  ARTING I started journaling up again last month. I hope I can continue that throughout October.  I’m doing an Instagram art project-like thing with a group of other insta artists. The prompt is Mechanical Wildlife and it’s due the 13th. I have a faint idea of what I might do, but it’s a work in progress.  RE...
