Hey all! I have been so absent. I know, story of my life. Pretty sure I say that in every single post I make.
I participated in NaNoWriMo last year and did quite well despite everything going on right now. There is a lot going on but I’m managing.
In honor of winning again, I am doing my now annual (apparently) YA movie marathon going from December 1st to December 16th roughly. Here’s the schedule below! I’ll be watching at 7pm Central Standard Time every night and live tweeting with #12DaysofTeenMovies. It is way longer than 12 movies but I liked the hashtag better this way. ? You can follow along with my tweets here. In a perfect world this would have been up on November 30th but we unfortunately do not live in a perfect world.
