Daylight Book Release + IMPORTANT Blog Update

-

    Hey, y'all!! Today's post is gonna be a short one (mainly 'cause I was busy, procrastinated, what have you and just wrote this yesterday), but I'll make up for it next week! 😉 Either way, DON'T GO AWAY because I have some SUPER important news!!! First off, the lovely authoress Grace A. Johnson (you can find her blog HERE) is releasing a 9/11 short story called Daylight in honor of the 20th anniversary of...well, 9/11. 

    So mark your calendars for September 11, 2021 for the release of this brand new exciting short story!





     Secondly, for some...not-so-epic-news, as I said, my next post will hopefully be next week, but if you're subscribed to my blog you won't be getting an email notification since the Blogger subscription platform, Feedburner, is changing. I'm looking for some other options on how to send email notifications out (and hopefully I'll find one soon) but for now, if I don't find one before next week, you'll just have to check back on Monday to read my next post. 😉

Tally-ho!

    Are you interested in this short story? Have you read any of Grace A. Johnson's works or other books featuring 9/11? Do you have any subscription feed platform recommendations? Let me know in the comments below! (Ooh, that rhymed...) XD

    EEEE I AM SO EXCITED FOR DAYLIGHT'S RELEASEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!! I have read other books by Grace. Grace Johnson's like one of my bestest friends ever, sooo, it'd be wrong if I hadn't. XD I've read Six O'Clock by her (HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend) and I'm almost done with her novel, Held Captive. And then I plan to read its sequel and all that good stuff. Have you read anything by her? Hmmm subscription feed platform recommendations?? Well, I know of Mailchimp and Mailerlite but I've never used them so I don't know if they're any good. I just use the wp stuff (WordPress). (Lol, and I loved your ryhme. XD)

      YEEESSSS, GIRL!!!!!! I was actually listening to some of the songs on Grace's playlist and it hyped me up so bad. XD (One of them actually almost made me start crying when I thought about the book and 9/11 and, well, I obviously haven't even read it yet...XD) Lolol, yeeeaaah, that might be *kinda* wrong. XPP OH GOODNESS, girl, you have NO IDEA how much I'm dying to read that!!!!!!!! *glomps it* XD OooOoooh, YES, I've been wanting to read Held Captive for a while now too!!! And, eheh, no. I shamefully haven't read any of her stuff yet. *hides* But to be fair, I only found her blog a month or two ago... ;) Oooh, thanks for the recs!!! I've heard of Mailchimp before but I've never heard of Mailerlite so I'll definitely have to look into that! Haha, yeah, I guess that's one of the pluses of having a wp blog nowadays... XD (Hehehehe, thank youuuu!!!) XD

    Have you looked into Mailchimp for your blog emails? That's what I use. It's super easy to set up, and works really well! (I send my notifications out personally, but I think there is a way to automate it as well).

      My dad and I were actually looking into that one for the first time last night! We had kinda been avoiding it earlier ('cause we thought it cost money) but then we realized it has a free thing you can use, so I think Mailchimp is the route will end up going! Ooooh, that's great to know!!! I haven't heard a whole lot from people who use it, so I'm glad to hear it works really well! (Be prepared...now if I have any questions about it, you'll be the person I ask!) ;)

I'm Leaving the Blogosphere?

     Hey guys...so I kinda have an announcement to make. Many of you know that last April I started a blog. (Obviously.) And it was awesome. Not only that, but it really was one of the most exciting days for me when I had that irreplaceable feeling of anticipation as I pushed the "Publish Blog" button. (Or maybe it was anxiety since I would be having my wisdom teeth removed an hour later. Yes, I was very smart back then to do something so big on a day where I would be intoxicated with anesthetics for hours on end afterward.  BUT EITHER WAY.) It was one of the biggest accomplishments I felt like I had ever done...besides being a finalist in musical chairs That One Time.      However, a year has passed. (Okay, really just nine months.) And I have found that blogging is HARD. It takes so much time and creativity and commitment to grow a platform and get your name out there in the blogosphere. I knew it wouldn't be easy when I started. But...I didn't know that it would be
