Hello everyone, and hope you had a lovely Camp NaNo and are recovering from Avengers: Endgame.
*glances at tissues and laptops and chocolate and pencils scattered across the blogosphere*
I think it'll be a while before recovery begins...
Anyway, all the pain and tears aside, I had a lovely Camp NaNo. I managed to get myself invited (somehow) into Jane Maree's Fellowship of the Keyboards, and let me say, it was quite lovely. Great people there, folks. Great people. I enjoyed getting to meet some new writing peeps and chatting with old friends.
(Though I did miss the OotP Hashtag War and Marvel Quote Challenge.)
I made my Camp Goal to get in 260 minutes of editing Rauladin. In total, I got 8 hours and 54 minutes. So I'm pretty happy with that. It got me to the second part of the book, and most of the characters have been introduced now.
Favorite Read of April
I didn't read much, mostly because of Camp. But I did start a book about Mrs. Robert E Lee, and it actually gave me a brilliant idea for a character in my trilogy. So that's always fun. :)
Favorite Movie of April
So I had to drive to meet a customer this month, and my car happened to have a DVD player. So I listened to the Inkheart movie, which I haven't seen in years. As long as you just view it as a standalone, it's not that bad. (They totally ruined the ending so there's no hope for making books 2 and 3; but on it's own, it's not that bad.)
Anyone else watched it before?
Daily Bible Reading Plan
On track. :) So excited that I've been staying on track, and hopefully I'll be able to complete it this year!

I also got to meet Sarah for lunch Tuesday! I had to do a second work trip which took me close to her house, so we met for Thai and chatted for an hour.
Hope y'all had a great April, and I'm looking forward to May!!
Glad camp NaNo went great for you! Looks like a great month, full of fun pictures ;)

How was your Camp?
DeleteAww, those chicks are so cute!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a good May. <33
They're cute now that they've got feathers...
DeleteYay!! Congrats on completing Camp Nano!!!
ReplyDeleteAhh yes *sniffles* Endgame...tore my heart out.
Yep, I've seen Inkheart!!
Ohh, your Friesian is absolutely GORGEOUS (plus your sister is adorable up on him!!)!!
Sounds like you had a lovely month!

Thanks!! It's so cute watching this little girl ride that big horse. It was actually her first time riding him. She usually rides my TWH, who is actually taller than the Friesian!
DeleteEndgame . . . *dissolves into sobs*
ReplyDeleteNot gonna lie, our cabin was AWESOME this year. It was cool having you and Sarah in it!
I hope you have a great May, Julian!
It's always fun doing Camp with friends. :)
DeleteI just love our spontaneous trips. We seriously need to do more of them. Might have more chances now that J is living up in WS and I might make more trips up to visit him.
ReplyDeleteThat idea you got for Marywyn... so perfect. Like, seriously. I heart it so much.
Liz looks so adorable on Pepper! Love it!
Hope you have a great May!
YES!!! Here's to more spontaneous trips!!!
DeleteI have seen Inkheart the movie. Also read the books. I like both. ;) Looks like a great month! Camp NaNo sounds very fun I might try it out next year.

Yes!!! Try Camp! There's another one this year - I believe in July? And then NaNoWriMo itself in November. :)
DeleteYay for Camp! I had a great April in that regard. Well done on your goal, girl!
ReplyDeleteI've seen the Inkheart film! I rather liked it---and y'all may disagree, but I enjoyed it far better than the books, they just got too weird & messed up for me (no offense meant to ANYONE! Just solely my opinion!).
Love the photo dump! It's always fun getting a sneak peek of life outside of blogger. ;D
Here's to a new month---happy May!! <3
I like both the movie and the books, but for different reasons; although neither of them are particular favorites, just something I enjoy from time to time. Frankly, it's completely plot-driven for me, as I don't like any of the characters much, which is kind of rare for me.
DeleteYay, I'm glad Camp NaNo went well for you! I met my goal as well.
ReplyDeleteOooh, I love Inkheart! I've only seen the movie (I read part of the book but didn't finish it), so I might see it a little differently than fans of the book do. But it's one of my favorites.
