Dietary Changes Part: 2

-
  When I was in high school, during my second year, I found myself eating more fried foods and drinking more milk than usual. I thought it was okay, not the healthiest, but what school provides healthy food? They love promoting it, but they don’t necessarily enforce it. Everyone was fine eating it, so what could go wrong? I was eating spicy fried chicken sandwiches and cheese-stuffed pizza, and I learned that dipping them in ranch or blue cheese tasted good. I drink chocolate milk, and on Fridays, I treat myself to ice cream. The year before was exciting, my grades were great, and everything seemed new and exciting. Sophomore year became the opposite. I didn’t understand why, but it was like flipping a coin. Everything was exciting, but everything was boring; topics were not interesting, the teachers were even pissy and annoyingly difficult. On top of everything I was dragging. I felt so fogged up. As if I could sleep all day. My case manager saw what was going on with my cla...

The Blog's 1 Year Anniversary!

-
This month is the Blog's 1 year anniversary, so I decided to open up a TikTok account and posted a video (see below), which will hopefully be the first of many yet to come!

This will be a short post; we're going to Germany this month. Funny enough,  the flight leaves the same day that our flight to Baltimore left last year!

I'm really Excited for this trip! I'm going to finally see family that I haven't been able to see since 2017. Germany is home to me, and I've been homesick for a long time.  The United States is also home to me of course. When you have two countries to call home you become homesick regardless. Hopefully one of these days I'll be able to go back and forward between the two countries more often. I think that might help. I do promise pictures! I'm not leaving my camera behind! Can't wait to show you all that I find.

Education

  Education! The simplest and most challenging thing one will go through in one's life. Simple because all you have to do is sit down and read a book on a subject you know nothing about and question what you are reading allowing it to shape you, along with gaining hands-on experience by practice or trade. It’s coming across a problem and wanting to solve it. It’s the hope of finding something new or creating something new.   So, what’s challenging about it? Is it commitment? Or is it the expectation?   What is more intimidating?   If you find enough interest in something, and make it essential to you, you will commit to it with no problem.  The essentials are budgeting money, cooking food, and whatever else is needed to survive and stand alone.   Unfortunately, the classes that teach this are not normally required.  The requirement is to find Y’s X. Let me tell you something: I have not needed to find Y’s X since my junior year of ...

Interview with Mrs. Shelby Hailstone Law

  I have been working on something special for this blog post. I attended the Independent Book Fair in Marietta, Georgia, a few months ago. This was my first time going. I walked to many tables and networked like crazy. I even broke my budget for books. Lesson learned: expect to spend money, as if I didn’t know this already.   While at this event, I met this young woman (an author, wife, and mother), Mrs. Shelby Hailstone Law, who has written many books: the Scaleshifter Series, Lady Thief, Birthright Unknown, and Death Flirts Back, which I am currently reading.   When she spoke about being on the spectrum during a seminar on writing fantasy, her next book’s main character is on the spectrum. I knew that I had to reach out to her. Much to my luck, she graciously agreed to let me interview her for this blog post.   Death Flirts Back is about a woman, Abigail, whose family is watched by reapers. For years, Abigail has had reapers follow her but never talk, unti...

ADD's Hyper Focuse

  I have been glued to one of my other projects. I have gotten more serious about writing my book and locking myself in. It is a dream of mine to become a full-time writer. Due to everyday life and bills, I work full time but then come home to write my book. In the past, I have had a challenge incorporating a writing routine due to my shift moving around. Now that I have a 7 am till 4 pm I can come home and write after a half an hour break. I even started doing these writing sprints, you join someone on a call say what your goal is, and then write for the next hour. Once the hour is over, you check back in and share how well it went without needing to share, unless you want to. It’s so that you are being held liable. It honestly has helped a lot. I am now 54 pages in my first draft. My plan is to be finished this time next year. My current title is “Nordic Secrets”. It is a Nordic-themed action adventure. Dr. Sam Fletcher was recruited to work on a project with the military at ...
