Wrapping Up May and June//Welcoming July!

Greetings, all!

It is now almost July. People, we are over halfway through 2019.

Seeing as I was extremely busy during the last part of May and was not able to write a wrap up post for that month, I shall now proceed to rapidly recap both May and June.



Hopefully this should go well.

Wish me luck.

Music of May and June

Normally right here I insert a couple of songs that I listened to throughout the previous month, but since I listened to a TON of songs, I shall spare you a couple of pages of YouTube links and will just insert a playlist that I made of current listens. XD

You’re welcome.

Events of May and June

Honestly, not terribly much happened these past few months; but everything that did happen was a small milestone in my life.

I’m embarking on my last year as a child, people. It’s scary. 

Finished Junior Year of Highschool-WOOHOO!!! Only one year left of high school. Favorite subjects this past school year were history and writing; I studied the American Civil War and Sci-Fi and Fantasy writing techniques. And I’d like to give a huge shout out to my awesome teachers, Mom and Dad. <33 

Family Camping Trip to the Oregon Coast-We went to the Oregon Coast for the first time, and IT WAS AMAZING. The forests were completely different than anything I’d ever seen before, and the ocean was as beautiful as always. I would move there in a heartbeat. We also stopped at a fossil dig on the way there, and I found a couple of leaf fossils. Best field trip ever. XD  

Two Friends Graduating-Congrats to Idaho Reader and JadeShadow for graduating this year!!! These amazing girls have been two of my best friends for years. <33 

Trip to OYAN Summer Workshop-So every year the One Year Adventure Novel peoples put on a summer workshop for the students. I’ve been wanting to go since 2017 but have never had the money. Until this year.

IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST WEEKS OF MY LIFE. 

(^^^the auditorium)

We had some AMAZING speakers including Robert Treskillard (author of the Merlin Spiral Series), Stephanie Morrill (author of The Lost Girl of Astor Street and Within These Lines), Allen Arnold (author of The Story of With), and Steve Laube (a literary agent and president of The Steve Laube Agency); as well as the esteemed Mr. and Mrs. Schwabauer (S) of OYAN. These speakers inspired me not only to write better and more, but also to write for God’s glory and to worship Him. 

(^^^me and some amazing peoples getting ready to have a battle)

(I'm the only girl in the picture, F.Y.I. XD)

In addition to amazing speakers, I also got to meet all the lovely peoples from the OYAN community and to make dozens of new friends. We had swing dancing, foam sword battles (no one got killed, I promise), mafia and paranoia games, epic critique group discussions, cosplays (you guys, we had Gamora from the Guardians of the Galaxy, Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars, Toothless and Hiccup from HTTYD, and Frodo and Sam from LotR!!!), and tons of photos and memories. 

It was a week I shall never forget. 

(^^^I'm on the end of the group hug on the right in the green pants and black shirt XD) 

AANNDD, that’s a wrap!

Next week be on the lookout for the introducing of my Camp Nano project, The Ship’s Log!!! I’m excited to share it with you all. :-D

Your turn to talk! How was your May/June? Did you read any good books? Find any good songs? And who else is doing Camp Nano this July???

Hope you all have an amazing weekend.

Namarie!
