Wrap Up July\Hello, August! + A HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT!!!


Greetings, all!


Welp, it’s once again the start of another month. Already. XD For me this month was actually fairly slow, and I got a ton of reading and writing done. I’ve been super tired though; my adrenaline must have been depleted from these last few months. XD I hope you all had an awesome July!!! Also hope that Camp Nano went well for you all. It was super fun for me.

July’s Music:
Shape of You Piano Cover by Niko Kotoulas
This guy is good. I really enjoy this cover of Shape of You by Ed Sheeran (this is the only version of that song I listen to…the original is not very appropriate. XD)

Ready Aim Fire by Imagine Dragons
I LOVE THIS SONG. IT’S ONE OF MY FAVOURITE IMAGINE DRAGONS SONGS.

Not All Heroes Wear Capes by Owl City
This song is so sweet. I definitely like this acoustic version better than the original.  

July’s Movies
Jurassic World
 The Seeker
The Village (wow, just wow)
Peter Rabbit
Man of Steel
The Incredibles 2
Doctor Strange <3
 Star Trek (2009)
 The Clone Wars (yes, we are starting the TV series once again XD)

July’s Books
Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident by Eoin Colfer
Tales of Redwall: Marlfox by Brian Jacques
The War of the Worlds, The Invisible Man, The Island of Doctor Moreau, When the Sleeper Wakes, The First Men on the Moon, The Sea Lady by H.G. Wells (well, that’s a lot of disturbing sci-fi books :-Z)

July Events
Camp Nano: Camp Nano was awesome this month!!! I had a lot of fun. Not as much happened in our cabin as last July, but there were one or two memorable occasions…including the name of our cabin being changed from The Fellowship of the Keyboards to The Frogship of the Keyboards (why “frogship” Jane??? XD) and Quinley's and my characters sort of…rebelled…I think they were fed up with our tortures. XD All in all it was a fantastic Camp. I completed my goal…after I lowered it…and I was very happy to get my certificate. (I’m official now XD) Of Seas, Silver, and Shipmates has a wonderful head start. (And yes, you will be hearing more about it in the future, don’t you worry. XD)

Moving: YES WE OFFICIALLY MOVED!!! Not into our new house yet, but out of our old one and into my grandparent’s house. We have been painting our new house, and as soon as the new carpet gets laid we will move in. I’m excited!!! We’re only about a two-minute walk to the library, and it’s such a tiny town that we could pretty much bicycle or walk to everything else. :-D
Incredibles 2 in Theater: One of my best friends had a birthday this month, so to celebrate we went and saw Incredibles 2 in the theater. It was better than I was anticipating, and I enjoyed it. There were a couple of things in it that I did not care for, but all in all I’m glad I saw it. :-)

July Writing
I wrote 5,511 words this month in Of Seas, Silver, and Shipmates. XD I also started working on a new song and possibly thinking about a short story. More updates on those in the future.

AND NOW, FOR MY ANNOUNCMENT.
*drum roll*
Music, Mystery, Middle Earth, and Mitochondria is ONE YEAR OLD!!!
*confetti horns blow*
It technically was one year old last week…but I sort of forgot…so oops. XD
ANYWAY. In celebration I will be posting an Ask Me Anything post next week. You can ask your questions in the comment section below and I will answer them (providing they are not inappropriate. If they are I reserve the right to refuse to answer them. :-))
SO YAY. XD
I hope you all have an AWESOME August!!!
Talk to me in the comments! How was your July? How was Camp Nano (if you participated)? Have you been reading any good books? Who has seen The Incredibles 2?

Namarie!

  2. It sounds like your July was awesome, MEM! :D And yeah our characters did kind of...rebel...against us. *Looks over at Horatio* I think he is still trying to start a rebellion. *whispers* I should never let my characters watch Star Wars.
    Also as for movies you watched this July, I love the movie Peter Rabbit too, and I love that Beatrix's boyfriend wanted to open a toy shop to make Harrods regret that they fired him. XD (I regret showing my characters that movie...I think that may have inspired one of their rebellion ideas.)
    Also to answer your questions below, my July was good, and my Camp NaNo was really fun, I've been reading a lot of good books :), and I LOVE The Incredibles 2.

      *whispers back* I would love to, but my dad probably wouldn't like that. We will have to see. :-D
      Ooh, awesome questions!!! The question is...the thing that I thought was the grossest, or what I thought was good but most people would think was gross? XD Thank you Jane!!!

    2. How about we make it 'the thing you thought was the grossest' because that's easier to answer.

    -One thing you absolutely, undeniably, canNOT be without anywhere you go:
    -How do you feel about Jar Jar Binks?
    -A character you have liked almost enough to have a crush on:
    -The worst compliment you have ever gotten (a compliment you thought was in bad taste):
    -Your favorite piece of music from a soundtrack:

    Have fun! :D

My Camp Nano Project: Of Seas, Silver, and Shipmates.

Greetings, all!  Since Camp Nano is almost over...HOW IS IT ALREADY ALMOST THE END OF JULY???...ahem, I decided to share a little of what I've been working on this month.  Introducing,  Synopsis Eden Claire is an orphaned serving girl in England. Living her lonely life working in the library of a boarding school, she begins to think that she must always settle for less, and that her dreams of comradeship, adventure, and sailing to unknown lands must slowly dwindle away to nothing. However, when an old forgotten acquaintance shows up on her doorstep with a note left to Eden by her father, those dreams might just become rekindled; dreams that will take Eden to wild escapades on the high seas. Eden must outwit the notorious Damian the Black Hearted and his gang of pirates in her quest for her father’s treasure, but she cannot do it alone-she will need the help of others. Can she learn how important true friendship is, even at the cost of losing the treasure…and
