April In Hindsight: Bookish Conquests and Other Things

Happy Friday World!

Can you believe that April’s sped by already? I sure can.

This month was odd for everyone. People stayed and worked at home, and that has caused something of a strange situation. Time doesn’t really seem to exist the same way it did before, and while my state is due to open most businesses back up by May 15th, I’m already dreading going back to work.

Hopefully that won’t happen until June. I’ve had some real issues this month maintaining work-life balance with all the overtime I’ve been working, and quite frankly, I’ve had enough. At some point you just have to draw the line and say ‘no more.’

Work drama aside, this month has actually been really good for me. Let’s take a deeper look, shall we?

 

Writing Conquests

April was a really strong month for me in terms of writing.

This month I finished polishing up the entire first act, which is now ready for alpha reading.

This past week I also started my edits on the second act, but unfortunately only got through the first chapter due to how much work I’ve been putting into my dayjob. Still, I’m very hopeful and ready to continue the adventure!

While I go through my edits, why not find out where all the Reaper madness started with my debut novella?

Bookish Conquests

On the bookish side of things this month, I really outdid myself! I read 8 books and 4 short stories.

Almost every single book and short story read got at least a four star rating from me, so if you are on the lookout for a great book recommendation, definitely consider these or check out my reviews below.

I really enjoyed five out of the six movies and series I watched, with the odd one out being Girl on the Third Floor. If you’re looking for some great movies and series, definitely check these out!
