End of Month Wrap-Up: April

8:35 AM Gemma Fitz 2 Comments

• I started this blog on the 2nd of the month. Woo hoo!
• I talked about over description and actually managed to keep it pretty short.
• We had a guest post from CCGaylord about the Roles your characters play.
• I pathetically under posted.

Not that blogging isn't fun...

At My Writing Desk

• I did CampNaNo this month!!
• I rewrote the first half or so of my YA sci-fi novel, "Splitting Atoms".
• I set a 20,000 word writing goal and am a little more than 4,000 words behind schedule (hopefully I'll catch up today.)
• I planned and plotted 5 or 6 new story ideas which I DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR.
• I neglected my fan fiction writing. Again.

In the Books

• I read a measly 7 books this month.
• But that's a lot for me and I'm proud of myself. :)
• I took an unchartered adventure into the huge and foreboding YA genre and was not impressed.

On the Web

• Aimee@To the Barricade wrote a great post on why Cinderella is a "Strong Female Protagonist"
• CCGaylord@The Authorist put together and blogged about the Essential Space Traveler Kit
• The Antman trailer is out (sorry I can't link it, stupid internet issues) and I'm actually pretty excited about it.

• I worked hard to catch up on my school before summer break.
• I spent a lot of time outside.
• I got sick about a week ago and have been that way ever since.
• I became obsessed with Merlin. I don't need another fandom! I didn't ask for this! Oh well-- I would have if I had known what I was missing. *runs off to watch Merlin*

• I'll review "Maximum Ride" and ask why popular teen fiction is so bad.
• I'll spill my tips for creating characters you love.
• I hope to eventually write a post about Extrovert-Introvert relationships.
• I may put up a page to house my current projects, so you can look at my awful covers and worse summaries.
