What I’m Reading: Right now, I'm reading Earthbound by Aprilynne Pike. I picked this book up on a whim, not knowing what to expect. I absolutely loved her book Wings back in middle school, so I was really REALLY hopeful for it. I haven't picked up a quality fantasy that's pulled me in from the first line in a long time, and I'm so happy because this one did. I can't even tell you what the book is about yet because it's so mysterious right now. I just really recommend it as of right now.
What I’m Writing: Well, as of right now I've only been writing a paper for one of my classes, so I haven't even touched my manuscript; I haven't even had time to update my blog in the last couple of days. So hello, college workload, thanks for creeping up on me like that.
What Inspires Me Right Now: Well, I would love to say that the beautiful city I'm living in right now is inspiring me, but I've yet to go out and see any of the sights of this beautiful place, besides the campus. But I have been meeting SO many different kinds of people here, so many different majors and lifestyles and personalities. I just really like it. I wanted to come here and find people that were just like my friends at home, but I'm starting to realize that that's not what I should be doing. I should be wanting to meet people that I would never have talked to if I hadn't come and lived here. I like that I'm surprising myself with the people I'm surrounding myself with. I feel like I'm unwrapping all these little packages as I meet and get to know new people. Maybe that sounds weird but when you go to school with the same people for so long, even just through high school, you forget what it's like to make a million different friends. It's exciting to not know who I'll be best friends with by the end of this year. I like that a lot.
What Else Is New: I've just been studying a lot. And not writing a lot. And I joined the newspaper. That's pretty exciting, but other than that I've just been living life and going day by day.
Hiya

It all sounds new and exciting for you :D Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHi Abby, I'm thrilled that you joined the newspaper! There's no better place to learn how to write quickly and on deadline and the experience carries over into your own writing, or so I found. I too love diversity. People are a constant source of amazement and curiosity to me. Take it all in - you never know when you can incorporate some of it into your writing!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you've been, busy busy! Hope you're able to get out into your city soon, as well as dive back into your MS. Have a great week, lady!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new city and college life!
ReplyDeleteI also liked Wings and Spells. Was there ever a third book? I'll have to add Earthbound to my TBR.
ReplyDeleteYou're making me wistful for college!
