2019 Reading Wrap-Up

-

2019, man. It went by so fast. There are some years that seem to crawl by, but this definitely was one that consistently felt fast throughout the year. It definitely was a year of growth and learning for me. I accomplished a lot, tried new things. Excelled, failed, struggled, grew. It was quite the whirlwind, but it set me on a path that I’m excited for. 2020 is a fresh start with new beginnings and I’m ready for it, but before I officially wish 2019 goodbye, I thought I’d share a wrap-up of my reading for the year.

I recorded a pretty thorough video with my full recap, so I’m not going to rehash everything I said here. For your convenience, I have attached an infographic I made of my reading stats for the year.


To delve a little deeper into what I read in 2019, check out the video below.

And that’s all there is to this post. You can carry on with your day now. This post was short, but the meat was all in the video and graph, so if you didn’t check those aspects out, you probably are like, “Man, did Madison even try with this one?” and if you did watch the video, you are probably thinking, “Dang, Madison really needs to stop rambling on camera.”

 So, as I said, go on ahead and continue your day. Go eat a cookie or pet a dog or something.

NANOWRIMO Character Writing Tips

-

Welcome back! Today's post is all about writing meaningful characters. This post was inspired by NANOWRIMO (National Novel Writing Month). For those who don't know, NANOWRIMO is a month-long event that takes place during the month of November. The goal is to write 50,000 words in one month. If you are like me, and you prefer tracking your writing by pages, that equates to about 200 pages. It definitely is a big project, but absolutely is doable. When you think about it, that means you will be writing 6-7 pages per day. This year, I am trying to reach my goal of 200 pages by the end of November. I have been writing a novel for about a year, and I am hoping that this event can help me to finish by November 30th. *Fingers Crossed* Character building is an incredibly important aspect of writing any story. So to help my writing friends out, I have compiled a list of my top ten tips to consider when writing your characters. Who are the most important people to them? How

As the title would imply, I wanted to welcome you to my little book blog. My name is Madison and I'm excited to be part of the BookTube and book blog community. This blog and channel will be a fun opportunity for me to share my thoughts about books and writing on a consistent basis. I will be sharing my first BookTube video on YouTube next week. My goal is to share a video and a blog post at least once per week. I haven’t pinned down the exact schedule yet, but the plan is to post on Wednesday or Thursday each week. In my videos and blog posts, I will be sharing a combination of content about books and writing. I spend a lot of my time reading and doing creative writing projects and would love to share my thoughts with you about it. Let me know if you have any suggestions for content or things you would like to see me share here!

New Year, New Me or Something Like That

This post is bound to be a little bit lengthy, so if you're just here for the highlights, allow me to give you the TL;DR: You're going to be seeing more book and writing-related content from me. It’s the end of the year. It’s the end of the decade. It’s the end of various eras of my life. As I have been preparing for the start of 2020, I have become simultaneously nostalgic and also thoughtful of the future. Amidst these ponderings, I’ve started thinking about the goals I have for myself and if the things I am doing now will help me reach those goals. In short, the answer is no. But I know the things I need to do to make those things happen- and it starts with vulnerability. via GIPHY Mmhmm, vulnerability. Exactly the kind of topic that an anxious perfectionist like myself needs to worry about today. Here’s how I got here. Bear with me for some backstory. So, over the summer, much like most of America, I got super into Brené Brown- I read her book, Daring G
