A Call For Help

Hey Blogger Buds,
Sorry, but my brain is soooo not up to thinking of a post right now. (I've got some prewritten ones, but I need to save those.) I thought I'd give you guys a comic from xkcd for the fun of it, but then I came up with something better.
Eh, what the hey. Here it is:

Title text: I'm not saying it's all bad, but that movie has not aged as well as my teenage self in 2000 was confident it would.

xkcd.com

(I can TOTALLY bookify this. Remember the Jane Austen's Fight Club on Youtube? Well, connection!)

What I really want to say is that I'm officially making a request for guest posts. It can be about pretty much anything, as long as it's kid-friendly, and related to books. (The second one is optional. I figured I'd throw it in there since this is, ya know, a book blog.)

If you want to guest post, shoot me an email or comment below to let me know!

Unplugging

Hey Blogger buds,
So, I'm going to say this plain and simple, without any fine print or sob stories.
I'm a teenager. I'm still in school. I've got a life. A job, a family, friends, a book, whatever. Life hasn't been any more stressful than usual, but I need to chill for a bit.
So I'm going unplugged. I'll still be replying to comments and checking the blogs I follow, but I need time to set up my August posting schedule, and do what I love best: read, write and sleep.
I'll be back Sunday or Monday, with my Infinite Days review (finally).
To leave off on a happier note, here's one of the cool liked loved beloved coveted worshipped xkcd comics! It just came out today.

The exact cause of the phenomenon is unknown, but it's thought to be linked to atmospheric refraction and you getting a really cool car.

Peace and buh-bye,
RR

Current Mood: Stressed, Sleepy, and Barely Having Written Ten Words in Main WIP in the past week!!!

Writing Rush, Contests and Comics! (oh, and packages)

Hello my blogging buddies!

Well, today is a writing day.

Meaning?

My arms and screaming at me to open up Microsoft Word and set them free.

First some back story.

Sometimes when I'm bored in class I'll write on my notes. Meaning: it could be anything from a time traveling paragraph* to scene from Eberheardt** to peoples' initials***, to a poem****. Today I wrote one little scene from Eberheardt. First period finished. Then I got bored during second period, so I pulled out a yellow legal pad thingy and began to write a battle scene. Now, this pad is, maybe, 8'5 (I'm probably way off). Splitting each line in half (more than twice as many words per line than usual!) I filled two pages, "just finishing the scene". Well, the scene, a very intense one, isn't finished.

I'm one of those people that, when they need to write, they feel it. Right now, the veins in my forearms and the muscles in my fingers are yelling at me. The veins is a weird thing. I get a weird feeling where I assume my veins are, and I need to write. Anyone else get like this?

No?

Anyone? Anywhere?

Guess not.

Anywho, I would never leave you like that. So, I've got two contests to speak of, and a comic.

First off, La Femme Readers is giving away an ARC of Hunger!

And Cleverly Inked is giving away Necromancer and a water bottle!

And, I just remembered. I got a package today(!!!!!) Sorry, it's not Linger yet. I actually got 2 packages. I got If I Stay by Gayle Foreman, from the wonderful Candace of Candyland. And, my gorgeous TImex watch came from Gearloop on eBay. No pictures, but I'll try to get you an image from Timex. :)

Now, for the comic:

(click on it to see the cut-off part)
This is from xkcd, the hysterically funny webcomics posted every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. It's definitely worth it to bookmark them! (And no, I have not been bribed to say that ;) )

Peace,

RR
