"Long Live The Pumpkin Queen"
The book Long Live The Pumpkin Queen by Shea Ernshaw is a sweet and enthralling sequel to the Tim Burton's movie "Nightmare Before Christmas." It has a powerful theme of growth, courage, loyalty, bravery, and staying true to one's self, no matter where you go, or what situation you're in.

The Dark Before the Dawn
It was darkness. I was lost. Wandering through my life just existing, instead of living. Therapy had helped after the abuse of my ex-husband, but really it had only helped me cope with the dark thoughts that had manifested from the things he made me believe for years.

List of Books That Inspired Me To Write
Growing up, if I wasn't playing outside, in school, or doing homework, you could bet you'd find me curled up somewhere, reading a big book. I don't know when I decided I wanted to write stories, all I know is one day in middle school I began to write stories of my own.

Publishing your book through a Publisher
Every would-be writer's dream would be to write a book, publish it, get a movie deal, and live life like Dean Koontz. Mine included. So when I finished my book, Memoirs of the In-Between, and it was accepted by Page Publishing on the first submission, I was beyond the moon.

Memoirs Of The In-Between Chapter 1
Chapter 1 The sorrowful part of my tale started on my ninth birthday. In my family, upon reaching that age, it was time to prove our worth by making our first kill. I had spent those years already training, making my young body strong, my will unyielding, and fine tuning my reflexes so I was more agile than a cat. My mark was not a victim of Suiko, but one of our own. We were also paid mercenaries, so it was not just the Empress who hired us on. We also had a few rivals of our own. I was given a relatively easy task for my first job. It was the eldest son of a rival clan, older than I was by several years. It was simple, and I completed the job in under an hour – something my family had been most impressed with. It went exactly as planned: Infiltrate the grounds, hide in the tree, and shoot the lethal blow dart. My aim was flawless. I remember that it was a night with no moon, and even the stars refused to shine.

Sad Thoughts. Content Warning.
It started with Fluffette, a dwarf kitten I was trying to keep alive. And I did, for almost a month. In the end, her little body was just too underdeveloped and she began to suffer. And I don't allow things to suffer if I can help it...

Hey bud, you're a good boy. . Content Warning.
Dear Linky, I know you're a dog, and I know you can't read. But I'm sending a physical copy of this letter with you to the vet's tomorrow, and asking they burn it with you. Then, maybe when you get to the rainbow bridge, an angel will read it to you.

Win real money playing 8 Ball Strike
Winning money has got to be one of the top best 10 best things. So when I find a game that has the true potential to be a 'free-to-win' cash game, I find myself getting a little excited. I enjoy finding a good game, that I can enjoy playing, and that is legit. Not just because there are a few potential bucks in it for me, but because the feeling of finding an honest game is nice. Compared to the hundreds of games available on the mobile phone advertised as 'free-to-play' and 'play-to-win,' only a handful of them are honestly what they claim to be.

Blackout Bingo - Play to Win Real Cash Mobile Game
When it comes to "Play to Win Cash" mobile apps, you will find that 95% of them are falsely advertised, misleading, scammy, cringy, fake, and all around a lot of them are just copies of each other and other games out there. It's disheartening trying to find one that is legitimate. So far, I've only been able to give Bubble Cash a positive review in terms of being able to say any of them are legit. Today, we'll be talking about the mobile app called Blackout Bingo.

Ripley's Aquarium in Gatlinburg, TN
Traveling is so important to me. When I go somewhere, and I finally return home, I find I appreciate being at home for a few days. That being said, summer vacation for school is coming to a close, and even though we didn't get to do a whole lot this year, we got to do just enough to say that our summer was pretty awesome.
