Things To Be Grateful About Tag!





It's Thanksgiving (here in the US), and it's around that time of the year where you feel thankful, and you giveaway things. I made a list of 10 things I'm grateful for:

1. Having a blog with so many nice people that comment on it. :)

2. The amazing authors that let me read their books.

3. The internet, though I'm still hoping for free internet everywhere in the world. That would be

something I would be very grateful of.

4. Freedom to watch a lot of period dramas from the BBC online.

5. Pinterest: it's the best mind clearing website ever. It makes me feel fluffy and warm inside.

6. Living vicariously through other peoples lives, because of vlogging. (I'm not a stalker, I just
like to know about other places, and what the culture there).

7. An infinite amount of stories I have yet to read.

8. The feeling you get when you walk out your front door, and smile because you know it's going
to be an amazing day.

9. Wearing socks day in and day out.

10. Sprinkles: the ATM Cupcake shop

Those are my 10 things I'm grateful of and I would love it if you'd like to do this tag, too! It would be amazing. Anyone can do this tag, you can even leave a comment on your 10 ten. All I ask is that if you do a blog post, you say that it started from me! :) Thank you so much for everything you guys do.

Love and Hugs

Over editing?

I've been writing a lot lately. Not on the blog as you've noticed, but personally, and I have edited a lot. I want to say too much, but I know that everyone is going to say that you can never edit too much. You can always find a way to improve your work.For me, when I edit something  a lot, it gets boring and I hate rereading something sooooo many times. It makes me go kind of insane. That's probably why they say you should always look at things with new eyes, everyone in a while.

I can't remember a time that that worked. After a while of editing, I get numb with all those corrections and my mind is saying,"Too much. Too much.... need.... coffee...... or a book..... please?" Does that happen to you?

Since I am doing Nanowrimo this year, I hope that will make me look at writing and editing differently, because I will not be editing while writing nanowrimo. I write quite slow, and that will never work if I did edit like I would. That hopefully, will give me a new way of writing something without getting bored about it.

If you're doing nanowrimo this year, please tweet me @Clarareads, it would dearly help me if I have some encouragement, and of course I will reciprocate.

P.S. I'm not editing this post, so excuse my grammar.
