I couldn't blog because I didn't have stable wifi a single day that I was in Scotland. I can't blog because my head is throbbing with the power of a thousand suns. I miss blogging. I miss you all.
An Update
I'M NOT DEAD I PROMISE. And I am still 100% dedicated to this blog. Life has just been a little crazy lately, traveling and what not. I recently got back from a short cruise to Copenhagen. My friend won two free tickets, so we couldn't complain that it was 17 hours there, 5 hours on … Continue reading An Update
Sometimes You Just Need to Write
Life is full of stories - mine, yours, your aunt's and uncle's. There are over seven billion stories being lived in this moment alone, each protagonist struggling to figure out where that story is going. There are men wrongly imprisoned, not knowing when they'll next see their family, or if they'll even have a family … Continue reading Sometimes You Just Need to Write
The Mortal Instruments on TV??
I made a video talking about how The Mortal Instruments is coming back as a tv show (starting production in 2015). If this is up your alley, please give it a watch and like/subscribe.

Forming an Opinion
How does one form opinions? Because apparently it is something I need to get better at. Recently I had to write some essays for my history classes, and some of the feedback I received was that, while my essay was good, I needed to have more of an opinion. The information should only be a … Continue reading Forming an Opinion
Music for Writing in Ikea

My friend and I had the idea a couple of months ago when we were still coming to Ikea regularly to buy things for our dorms. … Continue reading Music for Writing in Ikea

The First Page of My Story
So all this time I've said I'm writing a book - and I am. I've been plotting and sorting out who my characters are, and that's all really important. But I hadn't yet actually written anything that will be IN the book until less than twelve hours ago. Today started out like many other Wednesday … Continue reading The First Page of My Story
Quirky Cultural Differences #5: Norway
This one is long overdue. No one believes in top sheets here. Ikea doesn't even sell them. You have a sheet over your mattress and a blanket, that's it. Girls in the changing rooms are 100% okay with nudity. In fact, most people don't realize that most North American girls think that's weird (we all … Continue reading Quirky Cultural Differences #5: Norway
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
How many people have used that as a title for a post before? Surely more than I have years of life. Oh well, I never claimed to be creative. Some seemingly-not-so-big-but-big-to-me changes are officially underway! After my recent stint of hibernation I have come back stronger and more ambitious than ever, on a mission to … Continue reading Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
