May 2020 Wrapup



So uh....

I'm still waiting for my job to open back up. I don't know when it will be, but being at home for two months is kind of weird. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm really going to miss my weekends and like... having a predictable schedule? But seriously, can I get back to work now?

*shrugs* Let's start the May wrapup!



Writing is going ok! I finally got back into a groove where I feel like editing is going pretty good, but this week I have to set up my plan to rewrite a scene that I already rewrote in the last draft, so *huffs* i'M fInE. No really. I just gotta swallow my ego and accept that I didn't rewrite it perfectly the first time.

I also drafted another short story with Wick and Archer. I realized that I've kind of forgotten to create any content with them recently, which obviously no one is expecting from me, per se, but I'm enjoying creating small pieces of content to distract myself from how ambitious the main project is? So yeah I might write some flash fiction with them sometime soon.

Yeah, as far as writing May has just been a steady grind at editing.


I didn't make a massive amount of art this month, but it's not like I didn't draw. Here's the dump:

Drew this random picture of a girl. I accidentally made her look like Dodge
 from Locke and Key, but that was not the intention XD

Wick and Archerrrrrr

I drew this inspired by a picture from Pinterest.

I've also been drawing a lot of chibis in the last couple days.


This month's most popular post was (drum roll please) Words That Will Only Hurt Writers(A Humor Post)

I'm really proud cuz my numbers this month are higher than normal, which might mean that my reach?? is growing???? Excuse me WHAT?????

ANYway, other posts this month included:


Not a half bad lineup, if I do say so myself.


Normal life has been pretty boring. Nothing exciting has happened that I can think of. But then again, this is quarantine, things happening is illegal. XD

My church has been able to meet in person again rather than just over Zoom, which has been amazing. We were even able to have a socially distanced picnic lunch at someone's house.


I've also been experimenting with makeup a lot because um I'm bored and if the look sucks at least I don't have to be at work in 20 minutes? Here are some of my favorites:


We've also been watching a lot of James Bond and other fandoms to pass the time. Lots of TV. Maybe too much....? Nope, you can never have too much TV.



Well, that's all for this month's wrapup! Did you do anything interesting in May? Let's talk down in the comments!

    "Things happening is illegal" wow, that hits close to home XD.

    My May was good, but I'm more excited for June and being done with school so I can read ludicrous numbers of books again (currently I'm only reading ridiculous amounts of books, lol).

    That drawing of Wick and Archer reminds me a LOT of Crowley and Aziraphale from Good Omens.

      They're only a little inspired by Aziraphale and Crowley 🙈 I love their banter.

12 Underused Creatures and Animals in Fantasy

Image
Photo by  Антон Воробьев on Unsplash Look look! Another series! It'll probably be pretty short since I can only think of fantasy, sci-fi, and realistic fiction to involve in a series about underused creatures, but if you have another genre I could do, please comment and tell me because I would LOVE to expand this series! It is one of my favorite things in the world to think outside the box and do things that other people haven't done yet. And using creatures that no one else has used yet has been a big deal for me ever since I started writing. Heck, people didn't use the internet a ton just yet, so I would go fishing through the dictionary and encyclopedia to find a creature no one had used yet so I could use it. Or other times I would just make up something weird and give it a name.  Here's a list of the fantasy creatures/animals you've probably heard of, written about, and/or read about. Elves (one of the most common tropes, but how I love them) Fai...

10 Underused Historical Settings in Fiction

Image
I've already done  10 Underused Concepts in Sci-Fi  and  12 Underused Creatures in Fantasy (click the titles to go to the posts), now it's time for historical fiction to get the spotlight. I don't write a lot of historical fiction myself, but I know there are a lot of historical fiction writers out there! These settings can also be used in a historical sci-fi novel, in a steampunk novel, or even for a fantasy setting. So this is applicable to almost everyone! So on that note: Idea list: activate! The Great Depression. I know that writers like to stray away from talking about people who are broke, on hard financial times, or homeless. It makes people uncomfortable. Well, you know what I say? Good . If you want to make a change, you're gonna make some people uncomfortable. You could write an excellent sci-fi novel based on the next depression that hits the future, or a fantasy world that is hitting hard times. Mesoamerica. Me! Me! I've done this! Whet...

Villain Motivation Ideas Taken From History

Image
Not all villains are works of the imagination. And not all villains are as completely inhuman as we might prefer to think. Some people that we consider to be very, very bad had what could almost be seen as good reasoning behind their actions. Their deeds may have been bad, but maybe the thoughts from their heads can be used to tell some incredible stories. So here's four villain motivations taken straight from history. Changing the wording. (Hitler) Let's just get this guy out of the way first, shall we? Hitler and his Nazis are known across history to be some of the evilest people ever to exist. If someone's trying to think of a really evil person to use as an example, the name they settle on is normally Hitler's. And don't get me wrong. Hitler was a very, very bad man. But the thousands of people who followed him did not start off thinking the same way he did. They were carefully primed before they were commanded to help him in his dirty work. Hitl...
