This Week on the Blog
Tags and Awards
This week on Inspiration Pie, I was honoured to receive the Sunshine Blogger award and the Versatile Blogger award. and the Soul Ripping Romance Tag. Feel free to click on the links and check out some other fun and amazing blogs!
I know tags and awards aren’t everybody’s thing but I do find them fun to do and I enjoy interacting with and meeting other bloggers out there!
Book Beginnings and Friday 56
I chose Harry Potter and the Cursed Child for this Friday Meme. You can check out that post here. and read the first lines of the book and an excerpt from page 56.
Daily Walk

I’ve been walking everyday, and taking pictures everyday! I share them here:
The Daily Walk is a little peek into my daily life, something different to get a glimpse in to the life of the person behind the blog.
I’d like to invite anybody who takes photos to put your link in the comment of my Daily Walk, that way we can visit other blogs and have a glimpse into their life, too!

What I’m Reading Now
I’ve picked up a new ARC by Hal Archer. His newest book in the Jake Mudd series to be released June 27th called Forced Vengeance.
Here’s the Goodreads blurb:
SOMETIMES A GOOD PLAN GETS MUDDIED.
Jake’s days of operating under the radar are over. Old enemies are now intent on making his living as much a struggle for survival as for credits.
To secure a new black market license, he travels the backwaters of the galaxy to a sprawling cesspool in space, a city of dead ends and lost hopes.
Staying alive becomes a full-time job, and Jake is blindsided when he’s framed for murders he didn’t commit.
Proving his innocence and surviving become one and the same as he is forced into trial by combat against some of the worst criminals the galaxy has to offer.
But he’s facing more than the fight for his life, when he learns his enemies are targeting Sarah. Time is running out for Jake to save himself, clear his name, and reunite with his beloved ship before she’s taken for good.
He didn’t want to play dirty, but they left him no choice.

Thank you to all the new followers here on my blog! Welcome and I hope you enjoy my posts. I follow back and look forward to your posts as well!
My youngest son received Gold honours at his awards ceremony this week! I’m so proud of him!
Writing
I’ve signed up for Camp Nano! I’ve done Nanowrimo in November for the past three years but this is the first time committing to writing in July.
Camp NaNoWriMo is a virtual writer’s retreat, designed for maximum flexibility and creativity. We have Camp sessions in both April and July, and we welcome word-count goals between 30 and 1,000,000. In addition, writers can tackle any project they’d like, including new novel drafts, revision, poetry, scripts, and short stories.
So, my plan is to revise a novel that I’ve finished the first draft. I’m committing to 30 hours. Thats an hour a day, should be doable! Hopefully I will get a lot more than that accomplished!
Do you enjoy writing? Will you be participating in Camp Nano this July? It’s not too late to sign up!
Thanks for dropping by 🙂
Oo I love NaNo! I’ve done it for six years or so but I’ve struggled to keep that writing momentum once November ends. Maybe I should try Camp NaNo? I would love to revise/rewrite my last NaNo novel…

Yes! Absolutely! It’s great that you can set goals in hours or words, so perfect for revision 🙂

Hey, tags and awards are totally fun because they let more people connect with their blog, for example, even if you blog about a type of books a person doesn’t really read, they will have something to say and relate to on a tag post! So that’s why I love tags.
Anyway, have a great reading week 🙂

Congratulations to your son for getting honors! That’s awesome! I’ve thought about doing NaNo before because I have a good idea in my head of a book I’d like to write but I literally have no idea how to write a book. I start out all excited and then I feel like I fall flat on my face and give up. I think my biggest struggle is conversations. I don’t know how to make them sound organic. My dream is to conquer that fear and write something but it’s a tall task and I might not be fit for it haha.

I don’t consider myself to be a great writer, but I see such an improvement in my writing since I started! Nano is a great exercise. It doesn’t have to be good. It’s a first draft. Just get the words down, and fix them later.
I hope you give it a shot sometime! 🙂
