Wrapping Up February/March + Small Announcement

Greetings, all!!!

Welp, as I’m sure you’re all fully aware, the past month or so have been insane.

And that’s probably an understatement. 

But I did get some note-worthy things done, despite sickness, crazy work schedules, and quarantines. XD 

So I’ll go ahead run through a quick account of my doings for the past two months (because I totally didn’t forget to wrap up February X’D) and then I have a small announcement at the end!

February/March Music 

Smile by Sidewalk Prophets 

We go to see this amazing band in concert in February (more on that in a bit), and this was one of my favorites that they performed. It’s a good reminder for this day and age, as well. :) 

The Swings of Central Park from Extremely Loud, Incredibly Close by Alexandre Desplat 

This soundtrack is one of the best soundtracks I’ve ever listened to. It’s heavy in piano and soft strings, and is so inspiring and light-sounding, but quietly intense. A+ music.

Three Birds in Babylon by The Gray Havens 

My favorite Christian music group, The Gray Havens put out some epic and profound music. Three Birds in Babylon is based off of C.S. Lewis’s book The Great Divorce, and is my favorite song of theirs right now. <33

February/March Events

Brown Belt in Kung Fu: My brother and I earned our brown belts in Kung Fu!!! Only one more belt to go, and then we can start testing for black belt!!! -flails-

Sidewalk Prophets Concert: Like I said before, we got to see these amazing people in concert up in a mountain town not far from us. It was /epic/. There was a ton of snow up there, and it was so great to be around other Christians, watching a concert by wonderful musicians (the lead singer didn’t miss a note, I was /astounded/ okay), held in a beautiful church. It was an amazing night. :D

February/March Writing

I didn’t get a ton of words written these two months BUT I did do a ton of world building and plotting for my current WIP and Camp Nano project The Ship’s Log. My goal this month is to crank out at least 15,000 words if not more, so we’ll see how that goes. :D



Aanndd that’s all I’ve got for you, frens!



Now for my announcement:

A couple of us bloggers were thinking of maybe hosting some kind of blog party for this month-y’know, since we’ve got nothing better to do. XD

Some of the events we’re thinking of hosting are:

a. A tag,

b. a story writing game,

c. a contest to be participated in through a vlog/video post

d. an art contest!

If you think you’d be interested in participating in any/all of these or you have any ideas to add to our repertoire-please let me know in the comments!!! More details will be sent out next week. :D

How are you all doing? Have you been reading any good books? Who else is doing Camp Nano? What have you been doing since we’ve all been stuck at home?

Have a lovely week, friends!

Namarie,
