IT’S MY 4TH BLOGOVERSARY & I’m Hosting a Giveaway! :D

Posted July 26, 2018 by Nori in Giveaway, My Features / 6 Comments

WOW. WOW. WOW. I originally started this blog in the middle of high school. Back then, I never imagined how much of an impact creating this blog would have on my life. And yet, here I am, four years later, in the middle of college, still *somewhat* updating my blog.

It seems like I’ve been blogging forever, yet at the same time, it feels like I started just yesterday. Over the past four years, my blog has definitely changed, and I have had many different ‘phases.’ There was the book meme phase, the street team phase, the blog tour phase, the ‘post everyday’ phase, and I don’t regret one bit of it.

To be completely frank, over the past year, I haven’t accomplished too much on my blog, and I’m okay with that. I love my blog, I love the book community, and I certainly love books. Yet, as I am growing older, I have to prioritize my academics and future career, especially as I am going into business. I am beyond grateful that the community is still super supportive of me, even when I cannot spend quite as much time as I used to on the blog & Twitter.

But that’s enough of the sad stuff. It’s time for some fun numbers and shout-outs of course!

How to Write a Draft in Three Weeks My debut The Eleventh Trade came together in a fairly unusual way. See, I’d signed with my agent (Amber of Skylark Lit) with a YA fantasy. While working on that, she asked to see other things I’d thought about doing, so I happened to send her a synopsis for a middle grade book about an Afghan boy living in Boston. She came […]

Author Interview I must start by asking…how did you two meet & decide to write a book together? Elise: I’ve been thinking about co-authoring for a while. I loved the idea of someone bringing new skills, a new voice, and brand new viewpoint to my work. There are a lot of authors out there whom I’d love to co-author with, but Lynn was a special opportunity. We met a decade […]

Aesthetics + Meet the Characters! What better way to learn about PEMBRIM: THE HIDDEN ALCOVE than to get to know my characters, their world and the questions that lead to their darkest secrets? First of all, I would like you to meet Halia, of the ground people, although she’ll never take liking to that label. One might say she’s controlled by her curious tendencies, vulnerable heart and sarcastic ways. All […]

Excerpt When I was writing THE ACCIDENTAL BAD GIRL, it functioned for me as a kind of rant; an angry kick to the patriarchy’s groin. I was angry that seventh-grade girls were getting sent home from for daring to wear leggings; angry that anyone who reported assault to the authorities would be required to answer questions about their behavior; angry that girls could do everything […]

Guest Post on 20th Century Stunts When people first started beta reading NOTHING BUT SKY I frequently received the same comments in the notes. They went along the lines of something like “No way did someone actually do this stunt” or “It’s not possible to do this trick and not get hurt.” To be honest, I would have said the same exact thing if I didn’t know the background […]
