What's Up Wednesday: February 26

What's Up Wednesday is a weekly blog hop created by Jaime Morrow and Erin Funk to help writers stay in touch. First off I'd like to thank everyone for the well-wishes last week. I'd like to say that I feel a lot better this week but I didn't sleep last night. I have a dentist appointment on Tuesday. It was the earliest I could get. I will attempt to read everyone's posts this week but it's very likely I may end up in bed sleeping all day. I promise I will get back at it once I am feeling better.
What I'm Reading: 
Still Seraphina. I'm making pretty steady progress, but I wish I had more time and energy to devote to it. It's such a great book so far and it deserves my full attention. I've also reread Chronicle of a Death Foretold twice because I'm writing a paper on it and I was looking for evidence. The more I read it, the more I wonder about. 

What I'm Writing: 
Weredragon revisions are almost done! For real. I have two and a half chapters left, I believe. I'm only able to work on it during good days, but progress is progress.

What Inspires Me: 
The Olympics are over but they're still inspiring me. I'm kind of sad that they're done, but it means that the NHL players are back and the Red Wings start playing again tonight.

What Else I've Been Up To: 
Preparing for spring break! I'm going home Friday and I'm very excited about it, especially because it's about 20-30 degrees warmer back home.  It also means I have a lot of assignments to deal with, but once it's all done I can finally relax and enjoy my break. I don't have any plans yet--beyond going to the dentist--but that's okay.

Congrats on the WEREDRAGON progress, Rachael! I hope everything works out with the dentist, and getting plenty of quality rest so you can tackle assignments, reading, and writing with a fresh mind and renewed energy.

Have a great spring break and a wonderful week! :)

AGH Seraphina is so good, it was one of my favourite books that I read in 2013. I hope you like it!!!

Visiting the dentist early in the morning is better than no schedule at all right? I'm just wondering, what happened to you teeth? I can imagine a serious treatment since you’re expecting a whole day of bed rest. Hmm. I’ll be waiting for your updates about your dental appointment. Good luck!

I agree with Elliot. Early dental appointments might lessen your extra time for sleep, but it’s better to get your teeth checked first thing in the morning. It’s been a while now, and I wonder what happened to your dental appointment. Anyway, I’ve read in your other posts that you got great books on your shelves. I do hope you’ll continue to share your reviews on your future posts. I’m looking forward to reading them all. Have a great day! :)

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? Books read: 0 I'm no...
