Hello! // Maud

Hello y'all,

How have you all been? I finally got a new computer so now I can write again. WHOOP!
I have been doing okay. GCSEs have started for Emile and I so we are awfully busy and it is stressful to say the least (especially with all my out of school things). But I'm getting through.
Right now I have around 7 pieces of homework (2 due tomorrow) and I really need to get on with it.
I saw that Emile had posted and thought I should do the same.

I just got back from seeing Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children in the cinema :-)
I wasn't nearly as good as the book but the end was so funny and it was different to the end of the first book. Yes, it wasn't the best film I've ever seen but it was definitely a good one.

On October the 13th, my friend Harriet and I are going to an event at Waterstones in London to see Lucy Sutcliffe, Lisa Williamson and Non-Pratt speak about 'Finding Yourself'. Im super excited and am really happy we managed to get tickets. Our favourite youtubers (Saskia and Lily) are also going so we will hopefully bump into them.

I haven't read in what feels like months. I have had no time to do anything (or thats what it feels like anyway). I am reading Asking For It by Louise O'Neill but I can't even really remember whats happening so I think I'm going to start reading Library Of Souls and make sure that I make time to read. I am trying to start thinking about myself more and hoping to start living happier.
Remember, your health is more important than grades. 

QOTD: What is your favourite subject at school?
AOTD: History or Drama :-)

Happy Living,

It's Been A While // Emile

Hello everyone,

It's been a while. I'm not even going to apologise because every time I leave for a while I apologise profusely, and then I do it again. What can I say? I still haven't published my YALC experience or my Empire of Storms review. They've both been written as well. This is how bad I am. But even though I said I won't apologise I'll at least say I'm sorry once. I'm sorry. 

I feel like blogging, but I'm not really sure what to write at the moment. I haven't read anything seen Empire of Storms, aka since the day my heart was shattered by Sarah J. Maas forever. And speaking of Sarah J. Maas I am going to meet her! I am so excited!!! I don't even know what I'll say. How about: "Hi, I love you, you've broken my heart.". Nah that doesn't sound appropriate given that she doesn't know who I am. Shall I bring her a gift? How about a letter, yes I'll write her a letter. And do some art or something to show her how much I appreciate her writing. That's appropriate. Sure. Got it. 

Anyway, to rekindle my creative blogging flame I though I should do a post every day for a month. Since it's almost October it would be a 'post everyday in October'. The unfortunate thing is that the abbreviated form of that is 'PEDO'. And that's not a great name. How about 'write everyday in October'? No that makes 'WEDO'. I can't call it that. It can go without a name for a bit. Anyway, I will be trying to post everyday for the month of October. It may not be book related, but at least it's something, and I have lots of creativity to vent somewhere. 

See you on 1st October!

Life Update // Maud

Hello everyone!

I have been gone for a few weeks and I'm not going to say I'm sorry because I really needed the break. My head is in a much better place than it was a few weeks ago.
To be honest, BEDIA made me start to really dislike blogging. I felt like all the content was really horrible and rushed. I am happy that I ended it when I did because I want to really put effort into my posts.

I have quite a few things happening right now. The main reason I stopped writing in August was because my great great aunt died and I went to the funeral and everything was a big kerfuffle. The following week I went to Norfolk and we had little to no wifi (However that turned out to be a very good thing as in the week away (in the space of 2 days) I read It Ends With Us, It by Alexa Chung and Girl Hearts Girl by Lucy Sutcliffe. They are all great books and I totally recommend).
Since getting back, I auditioned for a remake of Cabaret with a activist group called LGBTQ+ Against Islamophobia. The audition went really well and I'm just keeping my fingers crossed.

I  going back to school on Wednesday. I am certainly not looking forward to it but lots of exiting things are happening so I suppose it's not the worst. I am going to write a few posts in preparation for the school year but I am going to try to manage my busy schedule lots better.

Thankyou for your patience,
