24 Hour Reading Day!

Hi everyone!

Okay, so a week or two ago, Kendra (my sister) and I did a 24 hour reading marathon, where we wanted to see how much reading we could get done in the span of 24 hours!
Now, I didn't start at midnight and go to midnight, cuz... sleep is important, but I did read for as much as I could during the time I was awake. ;)

And I documented it all for a blog post!! :D

Enjoy!

10:30 am-

I've been reading for the past hour now in my Percy Jackson book. I have a feeling that once it gets more into the main quest, I'll get through the book quickly... I think. Not that it's boring. I like it. XD
Kendra just recently surfaced and I assume she'll start reading with me soon! My goal for the day is to finish Percy Jackson and make it almost halfway though another book. :) Now hopefully I can not get distracted by friends or Instagram.... XD XD

*legit just spent ten minutes on Instagram*

*sigh*

10:50-

Back to reading!!!

12:25 pm-

I've gotten over half of the Percy Jackson book read, I definitely think I'll be able to reach my goal! Kendra has now joined me, (late much?) so yayyy!!

1:10-

I'm taking a sort of break from reading to see if my friends can text.... ;)

(This is how you read, right? Oh, and I do have hair it's just up in a bun. O.O XD)

5:30-

Long time no update! I've been reading, but Kendra and I had to run some errands and we got some food. We're back home now and are reading strong! I'm close to finishing Percy Jackson! Only about forty-ish more pages left!

6:20- 

I FINISHED PERCY JACKSON! Definitely getting the next one. And probably the next. And the next. XD
I had been expecting different characters, so it was weird that I had only heard of Annabeth and Percy... I was thinking Leo Valdez, Jason, and Piper and all those characters would show up, but I guess that's for later! NEXT BOOK NOW! ENTWINED!

8:00-

I'm taking a break from reading and now am spending some time drawing and watching a show with my mom. :)

9:20-

I've officially gone back to reading. Let's see how far I can make it in my book in the next hour-ish! PHONE OFF!

10:25-

A whole hour without using my phone, and I got around 80 pages read! WHOO hooo! XD This book is just getting really interesting. I think reading like this is helping my writer's block for NaNo... it's making me think about how much I like stories! :D

10:40-

I'm gonna try to read as much as I can before eleven, when I do my last things and go to bed. I doubt I will have completed my goal, but I still got lots read!

11:05-

I have finished reading for the night. I'm probably a quarter of the way through Entwined, which isn't too bad! Considering I haven't read many books the past YEAR, reading, like, over 400 pages in a day is great! :D

***

And by now since I've finished Entwined, I can say IT WAS SO AMAZING! EVERYONE SHOULD READ IT. YES YES YES. 

AND YES.

AGAIN.

5/5.

READ IT.

DO IT.

O.O

I hope you enjoyed the post! I had lots of fun reading, the last time I read all day was probably the day after the "Neverseen" launch party where I just read "Neverseen" all day. XD Good times, good times. ;) I want to do more of these posts where I draw or write for an entire day and share the progress, but I don't know which one to do first. Which one would you like to see more? Me going crazy while writing all day or me going crazy while drawing all day? ;)

What are some of your favorite books? Have you read Percy Jackson or Entwined? :)

#GOALS

Hi everyone!

This post's title is totally a joke, I am not a basic hashtag peep. If you are, that's fine though...I'm just not...Even though I use hashtags a lot in texts and conversation, it's just as a joke....O.O

So I was inspired to make a list of my blogging goals from Katie's most recent post over on Scattered Brained Seamstress! :D

I thought I would share it with you guys, because why not? It would make sense for you all to know what I am trying to do! :)

Here is my whole list, but let's start with blogging goals for DTW first! :D

Post once a week (or more!)

Make & post writing prompts again

Post Glazed at least once a month

Reply to comments promptly!!!

Do something about hermitting- cuz it's important

Customize blog by making a header (Something I really have been wanting to do lately but have no idea how! Does anyone know a good place to make that kind of thing?)

Change the font (cuz apparently it's something people dislike even though I like it. :()

So those are my goals for this here blog that I want to do! :) Posting once a week is probably gonna be the hardest thing, because I don't want to just post the same old stuff over and over again. OOH! That reminds me. I need to do another Recreations, one of my favorite things ever to do! Maybe I'll work on that today...;)

My blogging goals for Wacka (Wack-A-Doodle-Dolls, but Wacka for short. ;D) are...

Post at least once every 2 weeks

Let Faye post once a month

Find new doll blogs to follow!

Comment on all the posts I read

Look into customizing blog some more

Make a new announcement about that one specific thing you have in mind once you have everything in place

Post new and original content along side classic format posts

And my random goals arrreeeee...

Read daily

Draw at least one new drawing per week (definitely a problem I am having right now. All I am doing is drawing. O.O XD)

Write 1,000 words a week

Finish Wings of the Banished B4 November

That last one is definitely going to be the hardest one... I need to finish it by November, but what would be most preferable would probably be like August. But I have no idea if I can make it that quickly. I'm almost 60k into the book and so much more needs to happen...O.O At LEAST 20k more words...Let's hope I'll finish it on time for NaNo... Hehe.

So those are my goals! Do you have any specific goals for yourself or your blog? I really loved doing this and I feel inspired to go get this stuff happening! XD

But I badly need someone to help me find a place where I can make a header for my blog...I don't know where to even start, so if you can help me make a collage a rectangle and not a square, please tell me. XD
