Fun Friday: Forgetting something?

Ha, so, yeah... Sunday really was good right?

Sorry about not doing it. Inspiritation was not with me, but I hope to get it done this Sunday so you all can see. I'm also sorry about not blogging last Monday. I've had a kind of busy week dealing with my dogs, they've got a little something wrong with them, but it'll clear up soon. So, there's that...

Finally got my GED in the mail. Still miffed about the last test though. Bleh. Whatever.

ANYWAY.  Still looking for jobs too, have a few hopefuls now that I've got a GED to put on my apps, but, we'll just see, won't we? I don't really have much else to talk about... |:

Do you have any cures to get inspiration? Watching movies, going outside, listening to music? Share in the comments!

Fun Friday: Lazy Sunday readings?

So, I've been talking to Kendra503 (<3) about what to else to do on my blog, and kind of came up with something. She suggested that I could do a series of short stories and update it each week. And knowing her, she'll ride me on it. X3

They'll likely range from anything like horror to... maybe... romance. If it doesn't kill me of course. Ugh. I do have an idea for a short sort of 'mini-story' that'll be based off of one of my books, Marked. I know that authors generally do this sort of thing after the fact, but think of this as a short and sweet preview into Marked. The first part should, laziness permitting, be up on Sunday! Also, it's going to involve one of my favorite characters in the book, yay!

Also, I'm sorry I didn't post anything for... like a week. I got lazy. I know that's not a very good excuse though.

But... I did finish my GED! I didn't get quite the score I wanted, and I honestly feel I got a bit cheated on the last test I did, but nothing I can do to change it, sadly. Bridge under the water, I suppose. I've also actually changed my mind about doing a summer term, as I think I should take a break from school at the moment. I'll still have to do everything to get it started for fall, but I can try to get job in the interim. Just got to fill out stupid apps and all that. Fun stuff.

So... I usually like to ask you guys questions here. maybe I'll change it around! Anything you all want to ask me?

Monday Update: Crazy Weekend!

That was exhausting. Nice calm weekend, gone out the window! I went with my mom over the weekend to see her take part in Dragon Boat racing, it was so much fun! I'm tired and I didn't even do anything! I was really excited to pick up the Maroon 5 tickets today though. :) Can't wait for the concert. Let's see...

I really didn't do anything much more interesting, except studying. I did find a class I want to do over the summer term, but we'll see how that works out and if I can get into it on time. Fingers crossed! I'm thinking of what to review, think I might go for Ranger's Apprentice once I read through it, shall I or shall I not?

I'm also hoping (well, thinking about anyway) doing a little more content to make this more exciting. Got any ideas? Share them below!

Fun Friday: Classes done and moving on!

Hm. Planned on doing a post Monday, except it got super crazy with a end of term party for my class(es). Then Tuesday was a test (which I did good on!), Wednesday I spent about 2 hours after school just trying to get my computer back on, and yesterday was just a day to chill from my crazy week. I took another other test for the GED, and I did really well on it as well. :3 Tomorrow is gonna be fun, I'm gonna watch my mom in a race, then next Monday I'll help her pick up some tickets for a Maroon 5 concert. She won a call-in for them. :) Then next Tuesday I better be done with all of the testings, or else!

Meanwhile, with writing... I've actually gotten a little farther. Not a whole lot, but getting there. I'm gonna work on a short story over the summer to turn into Writer's Digest for a contest that they do. Hopefully I'll actually be able to do that and not put it off...

Anyway. I'm finally happy that summer is officially here! A lot of people probably know Oregon to be a rainy state, so it's always nice when we get to actually see the Sun! Just, not when it's like 80+ degrees outside and you feel like the distance between your house and where you are is as far as Oregon from New York.

I don't really have any other plans this summer, but I might look into getting myself a job. Money's always good. But not really a change from the usual. Boring, ain't it?

Do you have any plans over the summer? What over the weekend? Share them down below!
(Yes, the book review is coming too!) If you want to find out more about the contest, you can go to this link: http://www.writersdigest.com/competitions/writing-competitions for any information you need. If you do choose to do it, good luck!
