NaNoWriMo: A Survivor's Story.

  Well y'all, I'm typing this at 11:32 P.M my timezone on November 30th, 2023. It ain't December just yet, but I'd near say it's close enough to call it a month. And some kind of a month it was, too. I started my NaNoWriMo at Midnight on the first and being who I am, decided to bend the rules a might (it started with the fact that I had somewhere around twenty seven WIPs staring at me each and every time I sat down to start planning my NaNoWriMo project). So with that info, I made the executive decision to tie up some loose ends before starting anything really real. On day one, I finished the first book of my series (a Fanfiction I'll be posting to my  Quotev soon) that I started in March and started work on the second book, which has been underway since last September. Finishing off Book One was pretty easy; 42 and a half pages and it was, dare I say, in the books. Book Two was even easier: only twenty five and a half pages. And then on the third, I decided to...

Deep Dives And Reactions: Daylight by Harry Styles (Official Music Video).

So, being as out of the loop as ever, I've never gotten the chance to watch Harry Styles' Daylight Music Video until now, so I will be reacting. Let's hop to it!

Deep Dives And Reactions: Speak Now (Taylor's Version) Full Album Reaction.

Hello and welcome to the second post of the day ! As you know, I'm a Swiftie and I'll be reacting to Taylor's Speak Now (Taylor's Version) album! Now, I know I'm late to the party as this album has been out for about four months and I've yet to find the time to sit down and listen to it. But now, I have! So I'll be reacting to each track! Notes before we begin: This album will lose several points due to the deletion of If This Was A Movie. I cried for about two hours straight when it was announced that ITWAM would be removed from the album due to Taylor wanting to push a (might I say, rather stupid) narrative about the album she wrote solo. Yes, there WAS a co-writer on ITWAM, but she could've made A Target Exclusive Deluxe Edition and included it. Either way, it's just stupid. This will be split into chapters! First the original album, then the Deluxe tracks, followed by the Vault Tracks and ending with the I Can See You music video. This took sever...

NaNoWriMo: Halfway point check-in.

 Hey y'all, it's Ally! So as I've mentioned a couple times before, I'm doing NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) this year. So as it's the 15th, we're halfway through the month and I decided to make a little post to commemorate it! Th is is my stuff! Word count: 32080. How I've felt about it: great! I've only had a couple days where I truly felt like givin' up. I've got undiagnosed Bipolar Disorder so I'm actually really surprised I've managed to stay on top of it for this long. After I finish, I may crash or I may try to stay with it. It'll be a total and complete toss up I kinda did an untraditional approach, starting the month by finishing up a couple of Novelettes I've been working on for a while and then starting my real project, which is the third book in the series with those two books. Since they're all in the same series, I decided it wasn't really all that different from a real NaNoWriMo novel! All three of ...

How American Girl dolls helped me embrace my love of storytelling.

  As I sit here, working on the tenth day of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) (and for anyone who, cares I'm about to hit 20,000 words) I think about how exactly I caught the writing bug. It's a crazy story though. I never truly liked to read when I was a kid until I was tweenaged and discovered the American Girl books; they were my wakeup call. I swear to you, I went from "ew, books" to "ooh! Books!" in like two months. I've collected dolls since I was basically a baby; they always have given me some sort of comfort. If they could talk, they'd have a few stories to tell. But since they can't, I've told a few using them as actors and actresses. My dolls, especially the AGs who had their own books and stories to embellish on, got into so much mischief. From the time Rebecca Rubin ran away from home to Kit Kiteredge getting married and having her own little, doll sized wedding, they've all gone through it.   Now that I'm much ol...

My 1989 (Taylor's Version) release day.

Hey y'all! It's Ally! So as 1989 (Taylor's Version) is now out, I want to tell y'all what I did for it. I've been a die hard Swiftie for about three years now, meaning I've celebrated the release of   evermore , Fearless (Taylor's Version), RED (Taylor's Version), Midnights, Speak Now (Taylor's Version) and now 1989 (Taylor's Version)! As a Swiftie and obviously a Detective (or maybe a just a clown, y'all decide), I of course have been following the Easter Eggs for like two years. Today is of course not the day to discuss Easter Eggs, but we must mention ONE! A little over two years ago, Taylor posted a picture after the 2021 Brit Awards. The caption read "Spinning in my highest heels, luv" which are of course lyrics from Mirrorball, the sixth track from folklore. Anyway, if you notice, that sentence has twenty seven letters! Now if you care to do some simple math... 1+9+8+9=27! What day of October did 1989 come out on? The 27th! We...
