Why You Should Now Expect More and Less From Me

I am now declaring that I have given up on trying to post every day.  
This is both bad and good.  Bad for you if you enjoy my content and posts, but good for me and 
my grades/ academic success. The reason I will be posting less is I want to focus more on school and 
any other big projects I want to work on at the time.  Some changes I want to implement in my blog 
and posts will be listed below.

 More Quality, Less Quantity
I want my blog posts to follow some of the English grammar rules. (Not all of them, just some of them. :0 ) I also want to work on writing better quality book reviews and other discussion type posts so they are more structured.  Since the posts will have more quality, they will take longer to make.  When posts take longer to write, I am going to have less of them. 

 More Unique Posts
I feel like I only do book reviews and bookish posts. I have loads of ideas for discussion posts, random lists, fun activities, and even some DIYs. With so many ideas, I hope that some of them are good.  I also want to just have different types of book reviews. I already have and idea for one, but 
I want to do something that is new and fresh, like Haiku Reviews on maureenkeavy's YouTube channel. 

 A New Theme/Layout
As much as I do like the freedom to change the layout and background on Blogger, I don't feel like the current theme suits me.  I want to code it all, but that is a big confusing mess of a project that will most likely result in serious headaches.  When I am feeling really ambitious and on top of the world, I will attempt coding the layout. 

 Posts A Few Times During The Week
As I am in a higher grade this year than I was last year, the work load is a bit heavier.  I want to give every assignment my all, however tedious I may find it to be. I want to que a few posts for during the week, so I can completely focus on school during the week.

 Read Deeper
I don't mean read deeper, more meaningful books.  I want to read the books I do read slower, so I can get more out of it than I usually do.  Maybe reading more meaningful books should be on this list. I also want to take review notes so I can write better book reviews.

How Does Unique Formatting in Books Affect Your Reading Experience?

Image
How does the formatting of a book affect your reading experience? I usually enjoy unique formatting in my books, but I recently read the first half of Illuminae before putting it down. I quit reading Illuminae because of the formatting. While the whole book being composed of lab reports, wikipedia articles, and IM messages was a cool concept, it made the story hard to follow. Many people enjoyed Illuminae because of the unique formatting, and others enjoyed it because they thought it had a good story. The formatting, for me made the story drag and I had no idea what was going on until about page 150. The only part I enjoyed was the interviews with some of our characters because it was only then that you really got to see the characters. I enjoy both books that have unique formatting and books that have traditional formatting. However, I think that if a book does have unique formatting, the formatting should add to the story, not take away from the story. When I was reading I

Finding your groove with journaling

Image
When I was younger, I kept a journal, but it was mostly just what I did that day, or anything I was looking forward to in the future. I have recently gotten back into journaling, but I am doing it a lot differently than I used to.  Before you start to journal, you need to figure out how you want to do it and then get the supplies to do so. If you're not sure what kind of journaling you want to do, I would recommend experimenting. If you are going to experiment for a while before you see what you like the best, I would recommend getting a thick and tall notebook. Once you figure out what kind of journaling you want to do (i.e. prayer journaling, bullet journaling, art journaling, collage journaling, workout journal, or just idea journaling), go out and buy a journal that you both like and would work for what you want to do. The only real guidelines I use when picking out a new journal is to get a tall journal if you are going to do collage or art journaling. If you are do

Does This Mean I'm Not A Reader Anymore?

Image
Just by the URL of this blog, you can tell that I really like books, or used to anyway. Yes, I just said I used to really like books. As in used to, which is in past tense. This is the reason I'm writing this post. You may have noticed in the past few months, but I'm not reading as much as I used to. This is not because I have read too many books, or anything like that, but rather that I'm doing other things.  Recently, I have discovered that while I still do really like reading, it's not my life anymore. I used to read for hours upon hours a night, and that was what I needed at the time. However, right now I'm not  gravitating towards books as much as I used to. This is a good thing, as I am becoming more well-rounded with my activities, and I'm developing better relationships with my friends and family. I have gotten into many new activities, such as predictable things for me, like knitting and photography, and some other not so predictable things, l
