Bluebirds and Birch trees

You know those days, when you suddenly feel like you want to redo everything in either your life or in how you live.  When the clothes in your closet don't seem quite right, or just need to be something entirely different for just a day.  Or you just aren't feeling the colors around your room anymore, and you want to completely redo it all?  Yeah.                 It's one of those days.

I had to unpack about a box of my books that were tucked away for a long while so my parents could have my copy of Narnia for reference, and I feel suddenly very happy to have small stacks of books around my room again.

 Thanks to a lovely blogger and author I follow, I've been given the freedom to do this tag without being "tagged" specifically, the one and only– Hannah Heath !  It sounded like fun, and I'm wanting all the practice of writing and thinking I can get in before November strikes.  On we go! ~Rules~ 1. Link back to the amazing person who created the tag:  Savannah Grace 2. Thank the sweet person who tagged you: Thank you for the open tag, Hannah! 3. Share the graphic below (optional): I can't seem to insert the graphic unfortunately. But go to Savannah or Hannah's blogs and you'll see it! 4. Lastly, tag 11 bloggers: How about, anybody that reads this is free to do it if they want! ^-^ Appearances (pen)Name : Mae Fort, currently!

 So, the plan was to make a new blog over on Wordpress to have as a main hub for all my doings and showings.  Weellll....  Let's just say it's taking a lot longer than I'd previously thought. As well as needing more prep work and finagling than expected.  What all with actually making sure I have enough content, the right content, and just all around being certain that it's the way I want it to be, all of that is taking more time than expected.  However, I look forward to publishing it publicly once it is finished and ready to go. In the meantime, it seems that blogging is sadly low on my list of things to do. While I do hope to continue writing, I'm uncertain how much more I will post on this until my new blog is ready to go.  I expect to continue some older things on there that I've done over here in greater detail, such as short stories, which to me are a great deal of fun to write!  But I also am planning on it being more art centered, a...

 As I prepared to write this, I realized it has been six months since my last post.  That brought a few thoughts immediately, the main one being "what am I supposed to say?"  "Should I apologize?"  "Do I even post here?"  Well, here's the thing: I don't know how long I'll keep this blog going.  Now, before any questions may arise, that doesn't mean I will no longer be online or any of that! But, I feel a bit like I've outgrown this blog.  Over the past six or seven months, I've been slowly setting up another blog on Wordpress that may or may not one day go public. But in the meantime, I might as well update here.  I started this blog in 2015. A jumpstart of a deal from a previous blog that had in all honesty never really gotten off the ground, but it did give me some experience on not what to do. This one has been through so many changes both in layout, color, and even name (you can see the original name of this blog i...

 I had the opportunity today to visit the used bookstore just a short drive away from my home. And aside from some handy stocking stuffers, what else do I find but– –a book I'd never thought to find available!  I had read Princess Academy* several years ago when I was struggling for good books to read. (Seems I come by that problem more and more often as time goes on.)  This one was a bit of an unknown to me when I picked it up. I had already read 'The Goose Girl'* also by Shannon Hale*  I can't tell you exactly my first thoughts or opinions on the book, because of the simple fact that I don't remember.  But if my impression three or more years later to finding this available on a bookshelf in a used book store was–Oh my word I can't believe it!!!–then I'd say it's a fairly good assumption I enjoyed it.  For the sake of spoilers or any other present tidbits that might give the story away, I shall simply say this.  If you enjoy ...

 Hello there, Readers!  A brand new month is upon us, and I'm going to be doing my best to write even though NaNoWriMo has finished. With that in mind: it's my goal to try and blog at least once a week, with Sunday being day 1. I know I've tried this before and failed, and a bi-weekly as well. But I ended up worrying too much about what you all would or wouldn't like to read.  In short, I'm just going to post what I know I like talking about. Simple as that. (I don't know why I take so long to grasp simple concepts, honestly :P)  Via another blogger I follow, she said at the end of her blog post that anyone was allowed to say that they had been tagged by her. The fabulous  Hannah Heath !  Let's get started! The Writer's Book Tag: Books I Love, Hate, and Couldn't Care Less About. First Draft:  A book or series that you've never read before. The Mouse That Glowed.  I really should start reading this book. It has been sitting on...
