But first a little wrap up for last month.
Life
This month I have been focusing on "taking care of myself". Just the little things. Drinking more water, eating healthier, exercising more, not letting myself dwell on negative thoughts. It isn't much but it has certainly helped with my state of mind.
Reading
I've suffered from a bit of reader's block lately. I only got two books read this month, but they were both really great reads!

Pretty creepy. Pretty creepy indeed. This movie keeps you guessing and on your toes. I sort of wish they had made a full series out of it, but oh well.

Mortal Engines |
I knew literally nothing about this movie going in except that it was directed by Peter Jackson and Elrond was the bad guy. But, guys, this movie was amazing. I loved it so much! My favorite movie this month, without a doubt.

Watched these two since my brother finally read the series so now he can watch the movies. Classics.
Writing
Been focusing most of my time and energy on editing A Time of Trepidation, Pirates, and Lost Princesses it's slow progress, but progress all the same. I also started working on a Sci-Fi project for the GTW 100-for-100 writing challenge.
Toward the end of the month, I finally heard back from Uncommon Universes Publishing where I sent Of Gold and Iron to. They requested that I send them the whole manuscript to be reviewed!!! I still am freaking out over that! :D
Anyway, that's all for this month. What have you been up to? Have you seen Mortal Engines yet? Are you partaking in the 100-for-100 challenge? Comment Below!
Oh. My. Goodness. That’s SO EXCITING that they asked for the whole manuscript!! Here’s to hoping that something amazing comes out of it!
ReplyDeleteHave you read the Mortal Engines book? I’ve read it, but haven’t been able to watch the movie yet. I’m a little worried, although I must say, the book wasn’t my favorite....
Hope you have an amazing June, Nicki! <3
I know, I'M SO EXCITED. *crosses fingers* Here's hoping.
DeleteNo, I haven't read the Mortal Engines book yet. Though after having seen the movie, I want to. What are you worried about?
Same to you, Nicole! :D <3
Oh sounds like you've had a good month! Hacksawridge was so violent -- good but very violent. Definitely not my fave for that reason because I'm just weird about a lot of violence...oh well...BUT Tolkien is high on my list. <3
