Happy July, my dear elflings! Can you believe we’re HALWAY. THROUGH. 2020??? And wow, it’s been…something.
Today I’m coming to you with a quicky, slightly different post from the norm. I thought I’d share some life-ness, some happy little news, annnd announce that I am, indeed, going on a bit of a hiatus. Basically, I’m gonna ramble. (I guess this isn’t different from normal…)
LIFE-NESS
As I said, this year has certainly proved to be something so far. >.>
I’ve briefly mentioned before that I have a heart condition. I won’t go into all the logistics now, but basically I have a super deformed mitral valve that makes me a bit weaker than your average Joe. As such, I’m in the high risk zone when it comes to the coronavirus. If I got it, we’re not sure my body would be able to fight it super well. SO. I’ve stayed in complete quarantine since March 13th. And if I’m being honest, I’m EXHAUSTED.
NOW. I’m not saying any of this for sympathy. Absolutely not. I just realize I don’t actually talk about my personal life a whole lot??? But you guys are my FRIENDS and are always such a support and blessing to me. And I feel like you deserve to know what’s going on in my life.
So yes. I haven’t gone anywhere since March 13th (Friday the 13th, funnily enough XD), and it’s getting to this extrovert. And it doesn’t help that there’s been half a dozen other life stresses in addition to the whole quarantine thing. Some minor annoyances, some major problems, all boiling up into a big soup of EXHAUSTION. It hasn’t been a great past 3 months, gonna be real.
I know it hasn’t been a great past 3 months for anyone, and my heart just aches for the whole world. It’s been tough, guys. I wish I could just gather you all up into one giant hug. But…of course…social distancing and all that. 😛 We’ll just have to settle for a big ol’ virtual hug, yeah?
Whew boy, life has just been tiring.
It’s definitely been hurting my creativity. I’ve been going through bouts. Some weeks I’m feeling motivated, some weeks I just want to crawl under the covers and never come out. Sadly, those latter weeks keep creeping up on me. Being stuck in the house for soooo loooong AND not sure when I’ll be able to get back to normal life is battering my creativity and overall mentality. During the second half of June I was especially feeling that all-encompassing exhaustion.
The problem with staying at home all day, for me, is that I’m a workaholic. It’s actually activities outside the home, even things like grocery shopping, that often give me a break. (Yeah, I’m a weirdo. I kinda like grocery shopping and running errands.) If I’m home, I’m going to be working. And working. Annnnd working. Because, HEY, I’m home and free all day and should totally edit and write a billion blog posts and stock up on bookstagram photos and send more queries and and and yeah. It never ends. I certainly haven’t been idle during quarantine buuuut that’s not entirely a good thing. Being as how I’m not really getting any recharge time.
I want to curve that.
It’s bad that I literally have to make myself rest and do fun things. But I do. >.> I do tend to take Sundays off and “clock out” to read or something around 8 every day, but that just hasn’t quite cut it lately.
Thus we come to…
THE HIATUS
I will indeed be taking a bit of a hiatus, mainly from this blog. But I don’t want to just not be writing blog posts, I want to take an intentional hiatus. I’ve literally started a list of “fun things to do” to force myself to actually do them. Because either I’ll slip back into workaholic mode OR accidentally spend my free time scrolling mindlessly on Pinterest and waste it. Yeah, I apparently don’t know how to have fun anymore. Eheheh. I’m so weird halp.
A few things:
-
I will still be posting a bit over on Fairy Tale Central. But we’re featuring an obscure tale this month, so the posting load is much lighter for July, which works out perfectly.
-
I won’t be posting at all on this blog EXCEPT I may be joining a blog tour for a book release. Not sure when it’s happening, but I definitely, definitely want to do it whenever the time comes because OH GRACIOUS, GUYS. This boook. Cannot wait to share it! Thankfully I already have my review for it written, so it’d be no big deal to post it for a blog tour whenever.
-
I will also be taking a semi-hiatus from Bookstagram. I say semi, because I will still be posting over there a smidge. I love Bookstagram and don’t want to disappear completely, plus there’s some fun things coming up I want to share. But I won’t be posting nearly as much as usually. Probably just once a week.
-
I’ll still be around the internets, but I’m gonna try to not just spend all day on the computer so if replies to anything are slow, or I’m not commenting on blog posts or things as much, or just in general am a bit absent for a few weeks, that’s why.
My plan is to come back to blogging by early- to mid-August.
Definitely no later than that. I can never stay away long. I love you people too much!
So yeah, I’m not dropping off the face of the earth for a month. I’ll just be semi-absent for a bit. It’ll be good for my poor mentality to have a little less pressure and more free time.
WRITING UPDATE
So what’s been going on the writing side of things?
I’ve still been plugging away at rewrites for The Nether Isle. Though it’s sloooow going. This is turning into a MAJOR rewriting project. I had hoped to have it ready for beta-readers by the fall but ahahahaha. Sadly, that won’t be happening.
My new goal is to hopefully have this round of rewrites done by October, let it rest for a while during NaNo and Christmastime, and then come back to it next year for another round of edits ‘cause it’s gonna need it. Right now I’m just working on big major changes, rewriting things, fixing plot holes, all that fun stuff. But it’s still a mess and will need a good thorough polishing before it’s ready for mortal eyes.
It’s also not helping that I keep questioning everything and adding words and now wondering if I need to completely redo it and turn it into a duology because it’s getting looong and ahem. Yeah, there’s been a couple of existential crises or so during this rewrite. BUT I think it’s actually more because, ya know, I’m trying to tackle a huge rewriting project in the middle of a pandemic. And naturally that’s going to make it a bit harder. So often when I suddenly hate my writing it’s not my writing at all, but life stresses and my own lack of motivation.
Once I finish this round of edits and take a break from it I think I’ll be able to look at it with fresh eyes and see what the next step needs to be.
Because honestly? Though it’s produced some headaches, I still love this story. I really do. I love the concept and absolutely adore the characters and I refuse to give up on them. And sometimes editing their story has been cathartic through all this—just disappearing into my little world with Karis and Jonah.
So on that note: I am planning on still working on rewrites throughout July. I’m hoping since I’ll be stepping back from other things, I’ll have more time and energy for The Nether Isle, which will be lovely.
SOME HAPPY NEWS
And while we’re on writing updates, I’ve got more news…
I’m attending virtual Realm Makers!!!
I wasn’t planning on attending Realm Makers this year (pandemic or no) and also didn’t think I’d be able to do it even when they announced they were going virtual. BUT some absolute happiness and generosity happened and IT’S HAPPENING.
Of course, it won’t even be a fraction as amazing as in-person Realm Makers BUT STILL. I’m excited! It’s so nice to have something to look forward to and it’ll be a great change of pace. Plus the classes look fabulous! Definitely psyched for a weekend full of soaking up knowledge from the greats and chatting with fellow writers.
And this is another reason I chose to take a hiatus for July. It’ll be nice to just be able to immerse in Realm Makers things without a bunch of other responsibilities tugging at me.
ALSO…
The Silmaril Awards is coming!
Not too terribly long after I return from my hiatus, the delightful Silmaril Awards will begin. *music and fanfare* I’m so excited to be a host for the second year in a row! This is such a fun blogging event celebrating all things fantasy characters. It’s basically The Oscars for literary fantasy characters. YEAH.
If you haven’t heard of this and want to know more, do check out the official website!
It’ll be starting in a couple of months so keep your eyes peeled for more info on that.
IN CONCLUSION…
That’s what’s going on with me and my plans for July!
Take a break. Enjoy Realm Makers. Get some hopefully good editing time in. And just find ways to recharge, despite being unable to leave the house.
I think it’s going to be a good month!
And I hope you guys didn’t mind my rambles. Again, none of this is to gain sympathy or anything like that! I just thought you all deserve to know what’s happening. Plus I love you all and blogging sometimes feels like sitting in a coffeeshop just chatting, which I absolutely adore. <3 And is a huge reason why I can never take too many hiatuses. I JUST LOVE YOU ALL!!!
And on that note…
LET’S TALK!
Now that’ I’ve rambled, I want to hear from YOU. What’s going on in your life? Can I pray for you about anything? Any stresses? Any joys? I want to hear it ALL!
Aggghhhh Christine *sobs* I’m so sorry to hear how hard it’s been for you. My life has been stressful in the OPPOSITE direction (45 hour work weeks, masks, out of the house CONSTANTLY, and this introvert is Tired). So I don’t relate to your EXACT struggle, but I do entirely understand how very, very tiring the last few months have been. I’ve been so weary <3 and it’s weirdly encouraging to see everyone else’s struggles? Because we just get to talk about this via the internet and be honest and it’s encouraging to see that we aren’t alone, even at home. I doubt that made any sense, but here we are xD
Your editing project! Oh my WORD it sounds amazing and I just *sobs* I fully feel the pain of wondering about duologies. LENGTHS ARE SO WEIRD and books are so much trouble. But this story sounds so absolutely brilliant and I can’t wait to hear more about it in future <3
Have a wonderful hiatus, dear, and I’ll be praying for you <3
Awwww, thank you, dear friend! <3 Ah man, and I’m sorry YOU’VE had so much stress too! That sounds awful! It just seems no matter what side of the spectrum you’re on, life is just EXHAUSTING right now, and I hate that for everyone. But yes! I know exactly where you’re coming from. Just seeing that we’re not alone, that we’re all dealing with this and HERE for each other and UNDERSTAND helps. A lot. Though it’s been hard, I’ve seen so many people spread so much love and encouragement, and that really fills my heart. We’re gonna make it through all this, we are!
AWWWK. *happy flailing* THANK YOU!!! Your enthusiasm makes me all that much more motivated to keep at it. Seriously. Thank you so much for always cheering me on. You’re such a good friend.
Praying for you too. Love you, girl! <3
I love this update so much! Thanks for sharing. I’m so sorry things have been exhausting!! D: *hugs* But so glad you’re taking a break, which you ABSOLUTELY DESERVE!! We will miss you but you totally need this break. <333 And eeeep, so excited about your editing project and I hope it goes well this month! And hope you have a good time at virtual RM and yes, the Silmaril Awards soon. 😀 HAVE A GOOD HIATUS, FRIEND!!!
Thank you so much!!! For all your kind words AND for just always, always being here for me and supporting everything I do. LOVE YOU! <3
Awww, Christine! I will miss you (though I’ll be happy to see you at FTC! :D). But you should DEFINITELY take a break with everything going on. I’m so sorry that your stress and workload have gotten so high and I wish you well as you rest. 🙂
Good luck with it all! (and yay to Realm Makers!)
Thank you so much for understanding, sweet friend! It’s always so hard to step back from things, but it’s also NEEDED. Hopefully by the time I return I’ll be feeling much more like myself. ^_^
*hugs* You of all people deserve the bestest of hiatuses. Really. Relax and have some fun! Rest and fully enjoy the break! <3 I know I’ll be only one of many people who look forward to your return!
Since I’m an introvert, it’s difficult to fully grasp the whole not-being-with-people struggle (quarantine with no well-wishers, unwanted visitors, or distant relations has been really nice XD ), but I have a severely extroverted husband who’s quick to help explain the situation. This won’t last forever! This, too, has come to pass, and pass it will. Just hang in there! I DO understand how awful it is to be confined to a house. Especially one with two screaming kids. *shrugs* But what can one do? We’re all in this together. <3
Love you!
*ALL THE HUGS* Thank you, my dearest Kiri! I will absolutely try my best to allow myself some good relaxing and fun time! ^_^
Ah yes, we extroverts are strange creatures, are we not? XD Having a ton of free time at home to do whatever I want sounds good on paper, but after 3 months of it, I feel like breaking down the walls. Lol. But YES. This is just a season and life will return to normal one day. That is something I’ve been trying to remember, so thank you for saying it! Because sometimes it feels like this will last forever… *collapses* But God is still sovereign and it will pass, yes!
Love you, too, girl! Hope you have an amazing July! <3
Awwww, take that time, girl! You NEED it! <3 We will certainly miss your adorablely lovely words ’round the internets, but GURL—rest is so important, as you know. I hope your goals go well!! And if not, no worries. They can wait a little longer.
Can’t WAIT to hear more of TNI!!!!!!!!!! And WOOOHOOOOO for Realm Makers! Sooo happy for you!!! Have a lovely July/August, m’dear! Much love! <333
Thank you so much, sweet friend! I so, so appreciate everyone being so understanding and supportive. My little internet circle is truly the BEST. <3
D’AWWW!!! Maybe after my hiatus I’ll have some more TNI updates. Editing has been slow, but a ton of progress has been made, so that’s exciting! And I suspect Realm Makers will give me a great dose of writing inspiration, it always does. ^_^
Thank you again! Love you toooo! I hope your July is absolutely fantastic! <3
YAY for attending virtual Realm Makers!! But I’m so sorry to hear how hard this quarantine thing has been for you. *cries* *hugs* Honestly, all this staying-at-home is getting to me too. <3 <3 <3
I hope you have a refreshing hiatus! <3 <3 <3
I’m super, super excited about RM!!! 😀 But thank you so much, girl! I feel bad even saying it, because I know it’s been WAY harder on so many people. Honestly, there’s been so many blessings through this and a lot of genuinely good days, so I’m trying to hold on to those. I know it’s just a season. We are absolutely going to make it through this.
*all the hugs* Thank you so much, my dear Nicole! I hope your July is amazing! <3
I’ll miss seeing your posts but I’m so glad you’re taking care of yourself!
Awww, thank you! That means a lot! <3
I feel for you to be an extrovert and trapped at home would be difficult, I’ve been finding it hard and I usually never want to leave.
You’ve definitely earned a break. Don’t let your workaholic tendencies get the best of you.
I hope you have a good break, and of course you’ll be missed!!
<3
I get you there! I’m one of those rare extroverts who really does enjoy being at home a lot, so at first it wasn’t so bad. Buuut after three months of it I’m getting ready to break down the walls. XD But I think just taking a breath and doing some activities I enjoy will help a lot, so I will try my best to shove down that workaholic tendency. ;D
Thanks so much, Skye! <3
Wow, we’re such twins we even went on hiatus at the same time without telling each other. XD
Oh man, I hadn’t even thought about the fact that you would be high-risk. I’m sorry the whole quarantine thing has been hard on you. Praying for you! <3
I've been trying to decide if I want to do virtual Realm Makers. Financially I think I'm in pretty good shape for it, but I can't make up my mind. 😆
I hope you have a lovely break, Christine! Rest up and recharge! <3
theonesthatreallymatter.blogspot.com
RIGHT?? It is HILARIOUS how much we’re braintwins. XD
Awww, thanks, girl! There have been some hard days, but there’s been so many blessings through it too! So I’m trying my best to remember that. God is still good! <3
OH OH. That would be awesome if you did it!!! But I do understand that it’s a bit of a commitment. My laptop is definitely going to get a workout during that weekend. XD I am looking forward to it though!
THANK YOU, DEAR EMILY! I hope you have a wonderfully refreshing break too! <3
I’m so glad you’re working on taking care of yourself, though I know it’s hard sometimes. Please do be kind to yourself and embrace this season of rest!
I’m sorry that this quarantine is so hard for you. I’m an introvert who actually has been able to go to some places and it’s still taken its toll on me, so I can only imagine how difficult it is for you. Hopefully this stupid virus will go away and you can get out soon. *shakes fist at Covid* In the meantime, I’ll be praying that you’ll be refreshed and encouraged. If you’re needing some face to face chat time in the safety of your home, feel free to reach out for a video chat.
YES!! You get to participate in RM!! I’m so happy that you can this year. Unfortunately, I’m not going to participate this year (thank goodness, or else I would be pulling my hair out from all the THINGS to do, what with SSaS coming out so soon and all. I don’t think I would have any brain cells left for RM), but I’ll be with y’all in spirit. I so love the community they’ve built around the conference!! It’s filled with so many beautiful people! I’ll definitely be missing y’all this year!
I hope your hiatus is refreshing!!!
Thanks so much, Sarah! I probably am way too hard on myself sometimes… *sheepish grin* Definitely trying to learn that balance of being productive and resting. Forever a work in progress! Haha. But I will try to take better care of myself. ^_^
This mess has truly been hard on EVERYONE–extrovert, introvert, working or not working, it’s all just EXHAUSTING. Goodness me, I can’t wait for it to be done with. Thank you so, so much for the prayers. It means more than I can say. And oooh, video chats! What a sweet offer! And, you know, I keep thinking I should try some more video chats with my internet peeps. It would be a BLAST if we could get a big video chat meetup with a bunch of us. Hmmm. I shall be pondering this!
D’AWWW! Thank you! I really am excited. That’s sad you won’t be there though! D: I do understand though. That would be a LOT to juggle. o.o (And speaking of which, SO PUMPED to share the gorgeous cover tomorrow EEEEE!!!) But you will be missed! Hopefully in the next year or two we’ll all be able to be back to RM in person. It truly is such a wonderful community.
Thank you again, dear friend! I hope you have the most beautiful July! <3
Virtual RM sounds awesome!! It’s so amazing that you’ll be going! I hope your hiatus is refreshing, relaxing, and fun <3
Awww, thank you for being excited with me! I really am looking forward to it. ^_^
Thanks so much, girl! So far this month has been MUCH better than the last few, so that’s encouraging! I hope you have a wonderful July as well!
Ay, I kinda agree that grocery shopping is kinda fun (as long as it doesn’t take tooo long)
I’m so so sorry to hear that quarantine has been rough, I’ll be praying for you, enjoy your hiatus and Realm Makers! <3
And here I thought I was the only one! :O So glad someone else actually enjoys it! But yeeeah, those 3 hours trips are a different story. >.>
Awww, girl! The prayers mean SO MUCH. And so far this month has been much, much better, so maybe things are looking up. Thank you!!! I hope your July is a fantastic one!
Second time commenting, and I want to let you know that you’re not alone! Two members of my family have heart conditions which makes them super high risk, so all of my family hasn’t gone anywhere since March 13th, too! Being an introvert, this hasn’t been too bad, but I am losing all of my talking and communication skills. XD I totally understand, and am wishing the best for you!! 😀
Awww, thank you SO much for sharing! And wow, that is crazy how similar our situations are, down to none of us leaving the house starting on the same day! I’m so sorry to hear you have family members with heart conditions as well and in the high risk zone. Prayers for all of you! *hugs*
I hear you on losing communication skills! I was already awkward, but who knows how bad it’ll be once I get back into society after this! XD
Thank you again for sharing! I do hope you stay safe and all have a wonderful July! <3
Hey Christine! I’m so sorry I was late to the party!
I totally understand your situation; my sister also has underlying health conditions, which makes her at high risk for Covid. Also, it’s so weird how quarantine just makes time stand still; several times, I lost track of which day it was. But I know God is with us all. He promised to be with us, even in the difficult times.
Thanks for sharing this update. I really hope you get plenty of rest this month (and good luck with your editing! I’m cheering you on.) 🙂 *sends big hug*
Not late at all! And your comment felt like a warm hug. <3
I’m so sorry to hear about your sister! I hope she stays safe and well; that you ALL do. It is definitely an exhausting, scary time, but just as you said, God is with us! He is sovereign and through Him we can have infinite peace and comfort. He is a good God!
Thanks so much, Lily! That means more than I can say. I hope your July is a wonderful one! *HUGS*
Hope your month is full of blessings!! 🙂
I’m always sad when one of my favorite bloggers goes on a hiatus, but I do know the importance of one. Or two. Or several. Blogging is hard, and when the rest of life is hard, too, a break is definitely in order. I congratulate you on taking a break when you need it!
I’ll be praying for you and your heart condition; also that you stay healthy and that you’re able to get out of the house soon. I’m an extrovert too, and while I appreciate some time by myself, I love to be and do things with people often, so staying home all the time is hard! XP
God bless you, Christine! We look forward to your return!
Awwww, Kendra! You are truly a gem. It is so sad seeing internet friends disappear for a while, I agree! That’s why I can never take too many hiatuses. I just start missing you guys too, too much! So no fears, I’ll be fully back in business come August! <3
Thank you SO MUCH for the prayers and all the kind words. That just fills my heart up to the brim, you have no idea. I hope you’re all doing well too! It is definitely hard to stay in so much, goodness yes. o.o But I’m just remembering this is only a season and one day we’ll be back to normal life. For now I guess it’s important to focus on all the good things and blessings, even as we’re passing through a storm.
Thank you again! Hope you have a fantastic rest of July!
CHRISTINE!!!! Oh my word, I am SO EXCITED for Realm Makers!!! I’m also like super nervous because I have two mentor appointments on Friday and have literally NO CLUE what to say to them (do I feed them snacks and pet them nicely???), but you know. It’s gonna be fun. XD I really really REALLy want to attend RM in-person someday, and I’m kinda lowkey hoping that if it’s in the same place as it was in 2018-2019 that I’ll be able to attend. (I have a friend who lives in upper Michigan who loves long roadtrips, so…??? XD)
And oh goodness. I know you don’t want sympathy, but I seriously am so sorry about how rough this whole pandemic must be for you. Honestly, I think I already had COVID back in January-early February, and it was….not a fun experience. Even though staying home can DEFINITELY be tiring (I was in quarantine for three months before my job opened back up), I’m so happy you’re taking the right precautions against this!!! Some people aren’t and it’s not going well. I’m praying for you, Christine!!! Hopefully you’re able to rest up and do some fun things during your hiatus!!! <333
AND OH MY GOODNESS!!!! My smol Nether Isle children!!!!!! I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS, YOU HAVE NO IDEA. And YESSSSSS to major rewrites. I’m currently working on the last chapter of Project Sunset, and I already KNOW that this book is going to be an absolute mess once I’m finished. But it will be MY mess and therefore I shall love it dearly. XD (we should have an editing party someday! woot! XD)
I just loved this update so so much. I haven’t been able to be on the blogosphere as much as I wanted to the last couple weeks, so this post was a wonderful way to come back!!! <333
I’M SO EXCITED TOOOO!!! I cannot believe it officially starts TOMORROW. :O This month has gone by so faaaast! But I. AM. PUMPED!!! And, girl, your mentor appointments are gonna go FABULOUSLY! I just know it. I’m so proud of you for taking some on! And hey, bringing snacks is ALWAYS a plus. ;D But seriously, I’m sure it’s going to go wonderfully because YOU love books and THEY love books, and we booklovers love talking about books, yeah? 😀 Plus you’re such a sunshiny soul, they’re going to love you! <333 And oh my goodness, I SO HOPE you get to go to in-person RM one day. And can you imagine if we BOTH get to go to the same one someday??? AAAHHHH. THAT WOULD BE A DREAM. COME. TRUE. ONE DAY. ONE DAY IT’S GOTTA HAPPEN.
GIIIIRL. *ALL THE HUGS OF EVER* Thank you!!! The prayers mean so, so much. Praying for you too! And oh my goodness, you may have had it earlier in the year??? o.o I’M SO GLAD YOU’RE OKAY. But now your body is probably much more equipped to fight it, yeah? So that’s something! But wow, yeah. This whole thing is such a mess. *shakes head* Needless to say, I will be VERY happy when it’s all passed. Heh.
D’AWWWW!!!! Your excitement always makes me even MORE pumped to keep working on this story! EEP. YOU’RE ALMOST TO THE END OF PROJECT SUNSET??? AAAHHHHH!!!! THAT’S SO THRILLING. And YES. I love how you said it: It’s YOUR mess. Exactly! Mess though it is, it’s totally worth all the work. And I LOVE this idea of an editing party! XDD I HOPE THIS LAST BIT OF PROJECT SUNSET GOES WONDERFULLY!!!!
*happy squeaking noises* You’re always so sweet! It was so good to hear from you! Hopefully we’ll see each other around the “conference” over the next few days! AAAHHHH! 😀
I’m an introvert and all of this quarantine stuff has been getting to me and I’ve even been going out. But not getting as many hugs and masks blocking me from seeing smiles has gotten me down. After I get my edits back to my agent I’m taking a break from writing in August because I’ve had to really force myself to stay motivated through past three months too. Show yourself some love. Do something super fun. *hugs * I love you too. You’re so precious and such a blessing in my life.
Awww, GIRL! *SO MANY HUGS* It is seriously so hard on ALL of us, and it just breaks my heart how much the world is hurting. I’m glad you’re going to allow yourself a break in August. This is definitely the time to take care of ourselves best we can and not push it. And though I KNOW that, I’ve still been way too hard on myself. Thank you for the reminder to show myself some love and do fun things. I definitely need to do that more! And I have been trying! I’ve actually had a lovely July having some movie marathons, playing some games, and just resting. It’s helped so, so much.
We’re going to make it through this, we are. But for now it’s important to be kind to ourselves and know our limits. *nods*
Thank you for the kind words. When I read the end of your comment I just clutched my chest in sighed in happiness, because it was SO sweet and filled my heart. I’m so blessed to know YOU! Love you, girl! I do hope you have much brighter days coming! <3
Oh good! I’m glad July has been refreshing! I’m trying to catch up on my bloggy buddies, so I know I’m late to this post. XD What games have you been playing? 😀
Awwwww you’re so sweet! You too!
Nonsense! Wizards are never late! ;D
Mostly Kingdom Hearts 3 because yeah, I’ve yet to play all the way through that one, despite it being my favorite game franchise! But I am LOVING it. I’ve also been doing some Mario Kart and such with my siblings. It’s been a LONG time since I’ve made much time for video games, so it’s nice dabbling in them again!
