W.I.P. All the Things She Said

 I've been extremely lax on this blog for a while. I usually try and get something done before Tuesday, but then Tuesday comes around and I realize I've nothing actually prepared.

Naturally, I've been trying to keep up writing so that I actually have a work in progress to promote. XD

Well, I'll leave a little tidbit of something I've been playing around with for a while.

Hope you're having a great week, continue to stay safe!.


Chapter One - In Which Decisions Are Made...

The idea was to write a novel.

"So - how long is this going to last. A month, a week...?"

"Not funny."

"It's true, isn't it?"

She rolled her eyes. This was a conversation that abounded each time a new interest caught her attention. While it was true nothing lasted long and her attention was dim in some regards, surely there was one thing she could see through.

"Come on, let's get some lunch."

"You sure dessert won't distract me from eating?"

The chuckle confirmed the teasing nature. While they would always be in a slight disagreement about her attention span, they would always be together.

"Hey Nicholas! How's the wedding planning coming?"

Well ... at least until he married and left.

"You know, Annabeth has everything covered. I'm just here to say the vows."

"Well, that's good to know. How's the latest venture Catalyn?"

She took a seat across from Nicholas.

"It's slow, but coming along."

"What is this new venture, I always forget what you're up to."

Catalyn managed not to make her smile too tight.

"Opening a bed and breakfast at the old Sanderson place."

"Oh," Stephanie stepped back, "good luck."

Catalyn rolled her eyes.

"Geeze, doesn't anyone mind their own business?"

Nicholas laughed.

"What?"

"Come on Lynnie, you know I believe in you. I really do," he raised the menu to hide his face, "but you've got a track of not finishing big projects."

She wanted to argue, to say it was crazy, but she couldn't. She knew the truth was a hard pill to swallow. She knew the town thought this one would fall through too. But she knew something they didn't. Each time she came close to finishing, something overcame her. A sense of dread that the ending was about to hit, followed by a sense of panic.

"Lynnie, don't let them get you down."

She picked her menu up, "Yeah, sure."

She had to finish this project. No matter what - she would finish this one.

This would be the first project to be completed by her.

That was her final decision.

Book Nook: Ever Been to -

 - Caraval?


 Series: Caraval

Title: Caraval, Legendary, Finale

Author: Stephanie Garber


These books kept me up late into the night.

Every.

Single.

One.


And I will read them all again once I've read something else.


The premise: Once a year a man by the name of Legend sends out invitations to his Caraval. It's five days (or so), of magical whimsy where you can't take anything for face value. Nothing it what it seems, and if you're not careful it will drive you mad.

But that's all part of the charm.

Here at Caraval you can buy a dress for a memory.

Throughout the trio of novels you'll find yourself immersed in Legend's realms of make-believe and fakery.

Find out what's real, what isn't, and who exactly Legend is.

Because I love artists here are a few images I've found (credit to ALL authors):


(I was unable to find the artist name, if you know who it is, please let me know.)

And remember..... It's all a game.

It's August

.... the virus is still around.

I'm still home.

Classes have been applied for.

I'm still making it (if barely) through each day.


Hope you are holding up well too!
