Today is a Saturday. I love peaceful Saturdays. I am sitting on my bed with my laptop, snuggled in a hoody and pjs. No deadlines today, and I get to slow down to catch up on some stuff and think through the week.

I Need A Gold Tooth (cuz i’m old now)
So I turned 18.
It sounds crazy old but believe me I’m still the awkward wild haired dreamer who is 12 at heart! xD I don’t know exactly how I thought it would be when I finally turned this old age… probably more pretty and tall (lol gave up on that one awhile ago!), definitely mountains more mature and wise, and the feeling of being, ya know, eighteen.
It’s not like any of that, y’all. But I’m happy to announce that it is great anyway! 😀

A Super Series
When I slide my paperback of The Blue Blur: A Mission Given off my bookshelf, three things instantly catch my eye.
First, the cover.
