Hello everybody! So I thought this would be fun because...it just seemed fun. :D I'm going to tell you all about my summer and all the things that happened. Enjoy!
To start off...I've been on Wattpad for a year!!!! WOWZNESS! I joined end of July 2014 so this was my FIRST entire summer on Wattpad and that just blows my mind. Shout out to WriterGirl017 and LonelyBlood for introducing me to Wattpad!
My summer started with the first chapter of Despondency going up on May 12 and then there was a lot of writing and new ideas and AWESOMNESS. And then of course I actually had to finish school and whatnot and once that was over onto a plane I go!
Yes, two weeks to Spain, which was BEAUTIFUL! I got to visit a ton of amazing places, I saw an Equestrian Show (pretty cool), a Bullfight (slightly terrifying), and a Flamenco Show (absolutely fabulous in every way)! I ate tapas, which are SO GOOD. I can't even deal. In case you were wondering, tapas are tiny platters of a small portion of food. You go to a bar and instead of drinking alcohol you order various 1-2 euros plates. You have to stand at the bar, which can be exhausting, but altogether it's a time for fun and bonding and you're completely surrounded by people all enjoying themselves. It's awesome. Another thing was that walking down the street you could find SO MANY MUSICIANS. And they are all amazingly talented. The amount of accordions blew my mind.
But enough with Spain. Go visit when you have the chance. I demand you. :P
After Spain I came back and started writing again. Fourth of July brought s'mores and fireworks, which is always nice.
But. Then I had to consider that yes, summer reading was a thing. So off I go with Pride and Prejudice, which was...not bad.
And then something else exciting happened! I flew ALL BY MYSELF to Florida! Yeah, I know, it's only two hours, BUT STILL. It was my first time flying alone. That was super fun- I went to Magic Kingdom for a day, Busch Gardens (which has atrociously short lines), and I swam a lot.
But low and behold I had to fly back home and what awaited me there? Yup, MORE SUMMER READING. -____-
So I read some more and I wrote some more and my grandparents came! Yep, them old fragile folks came to visit for THREE WEEKS. But one they spent in a convent, resort place so yeah, they weren't with me that long. While they were here I went with my grandma, mom and sister to a festival thing at my old school and...if you read the part before this you know what happened there.
After that though everything was pretty chill. I read Bless Me, Ultima and the Time Machine and summer reading was done. I started writing That Moment When...
And then. It happened. I finished writing Despondency!!! AHH!! The last chapter goes up August 24.
This summer I also learned how to make TRAILERS! And it's crazy fun! You can see one of my trailers on the first chapter of Insanity. I'm making one for Despondency but I cannot decide on a song to use, so eventually that one will pop up at some point. :)
So yeah! That was summer 2015! School starts on the 25th and everything after that is a bit unclear for now.
How was your summer? Tell me in the comments or leave a link because I would love to know! :)
See you in the fall!
