Monday Updates: May 20

It's been a rather busy week with lots of great TV news and season finales. All of my shows season finales aired this week. All of them.

Once Upon a Time season finale was lovely. I was wavering on whether or not I was actually going to continue with the show for season three, but the finale clinched it. Castle finale is killing me with its unfair extreme cliffhangers. NCIS finale was worse than Once and Castle put together.

DOCTOR WHO. I don't even know how I feel about this one. I'm all lost and confused and it was brilliant but I raged for five minutes after the end and I don't even know.

And if I thought Once and Doctor Who and Castle and NCIS were bad...I watched the Arrow finale. If you aren't watching Arrow, you might want to think about checking it out because it's a great show.

The Agents of SHIELD trailer is here and IT IS FANTASTIC. I'm so excited for the show to start in the fall. It's going to be brilliant. The Once Upon a Time in Wonderland trailer was also revealed. As if I didn't have enough shows to look forward to already.

And Oxbow won the Preakness yesterday, breaking any chance of a Triple Crown winner in 2013. The Red Wings are playing round 2 of the playoffs against the Blackhawks. They lost game 1 and retaliated with a fantastic game 2 victory on Saturday...and I'll shut up about sports now, I'm sorry. 

Books read: 2
I finished reading Bittersweet last week and a review is forthcoming.

Words written: 1,851
It's been a week of ups and downs writing-wise. The good news is I have started writing again and I know where I'm going with my WIP. I've just been really busy and my laptop started having technical difficulties.

RTW: First Quarter Check-In

Road Trip Wednesday is a ‘Blog Carnival,’ where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question that begs to be answered. In the comments, you can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic. This Week:  Quarterly check-ins! We're already 1/4 of the way through the year--where are you on your reading and writing goals? Where did the time go??  Reading Goal: 100 books  Where I should be: About 16 Where I am: 5  Clearly it is not going very well. In my defense, I did finish up A Clash of Kings in January and read A Storm of Swords in February. I'm hoping to do some catch up reading over spring break and then really get trucking when summer rolls around. I'm probably getting A Feast for Crows this week, though, so we'll see how long that lasts.  Writing I didn't set any writing goals for this year, other than just to keep writing. My writing kind of dropped off last sem...

RTW -- Picking Titles

Road Trip Wednesday is a "Blog Carnival," where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question and answer it on our own blogs. You can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic. This Week's Topic: How do you pick your titles? I don't really have a secret for picking titles. Basically my method is to wait until something pops into my head that sounds good to me. Sometimes that title might not even really fit the book or feel exactly right, but to me it's just a working title until I think of something better. Burning Bridges was the first thing to pop into my head when I started the first draft and needed something to name the folder. I don't know why it popped into my head because I don't really see a connection between the book and the title, but it's stuck through every one of the three drafts. Lately I've been toying with the idea of changing it to Once Bitten, Twi...

Monday Updates: July 29

This is my last Monday Updates post. As of next Monday, I'm going to start up my college tips weekly blog on Mondays, since it's almost the school year.  Song of the Week: Here's to Us by Halestorm How's Life? Well, there are only two days left in July and I'm still trying to figure out where the rest of my summer went. Seriously, it can't almost be August, can it? How's TV?  Watched the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on Friday. There was a point in the middle where I wanted to just stop because I didn't want the series to end. It was a fantastic finale, definitely one of my favorites. Now I'm trying to decide which on my long list should I watch next. Silver Linings Playbook is an amazing movie. I already knew Jennifer Lawrence was a fantastic actress but she still managed to surprise me. Taken 2 isn't nearly as good as the first one, but it's a decent movie overall.  How's Reading?
