Hello 2016

Yes, it's February. And I haven't posted since December.

I blame ARROW.

It's my newest obsession. :) I'm watching it with my 13 year old, and it's addictive! Oh, in case you need a visual:

*piercing stare*

Need another?

I got you.

No words.

I think I've made my case.

Anyway, I LOVE ARROW. Seriously, not just Stephen Amell, but the whole cast. Felicity, Dig, etc. And I LOVE THE STORYLINE. It's so my thing.

But what else am I up to this spring?

SCHOOL VISITS! 

I'm all about the school visits, because NIL is a Florida Teen Reads Nominee, so I'm visiting as many students as I can...hoping to inspire readers and writers alike. I have at least one visit a week until May, and any weeks are packed! But what else am I doing?

GEARING UP FOR THE RELEASE OF NIL ON FIRE!!!!

Tick tock...the island lives. Only three months until NIL ON FIRE.

Repeat.

NIL ON FIRE comes out in THREE MONTHS. 

THREE MONTH until ALL THE FIYAH!!!!

WOOHOO! I've got so many fun things planned for the #NILtribe! A pre-order contest, pre-order goodies, and short characters stories on Wattpad.:)

Stay tuned!:)

WRITING.

Always writing, right?:)

But writing what? You know I've finished NIL ON FIRE. (Sometimes I have to pinch myself--to remind myself this is true.) I've finished a trilogy. 3 books, 6 years of work.

I honesty can't believe it.

I started my Nil journey in February of 2010--that's when I first put word one on paper. And now it's going to end in May of 2016. A surreal feeling. Bittersweet, too. But also, weirdly liberating and exciting. I've had my head in the Nil world for six years, and now I'm done, at least writing the last books. I'm not really done--I have so much Nil goodness in the works as we gear up for NOF! Plus, it will forever be a part of me, and I love it and am SO proud of the Nil series. I can't wait for y'all to read NIL ON FIRE.

SO MANY FEELS.

But now? Now I can write anything.:) I'm currently working on character sketches for NIL ON FIRE that will go up on Wattpad... plus I'm working on an old project, and two new sekrit projects. I'm so full of inspiration and shiny new ideas!

It's super fun to spread my writing wings, so to speak. To try new things, to push myself. And I'm loving what I'm writing right now.:)

READING.

Recent reads: Big Magic, Rook, Illuminae, and Zeroes.

My TBR list:

The Winner's Kiss, Ice Like Fire, Passenger, Truthwitch, Riders, Titans, This Fractured Light, and A Court of Mist and Fury top my list. So many books! ALL THE BOOKS. I want to read them ALL in 2016!:)

Next up on the very top of my TBR list?

A Darker Shade of Magic.

What about you? What are you reading? What are you into?
