Soli Deo Gloria

     Hello, my lil' pepperonis!!! Don't ask me why I called you that. Just roll with it.  Almost a month ago, I was tagged to do this AWESOME tag by Teen Writer's Nook  (THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!) and since it's been a while, I figured it's about time to do it!     THE RULES Answer the questions below on your blog. Tag at least a couple other bloggers. Have them answer these questions!     QUESTIONS      What’s your favorite book/book series and why?          SERIOUSLY, Y'ALL. THERE ARE SO MAAAAANY!!!!!!! 😩*groans* OKAY. Well, every book listed on my  About Me page is a favorite, but since I can only choose one *pouts like a two year old*  I'll go with Howl's Moving Castle.

     WAIT. Victoria's posting two days in a row??? WhAt'S tHe WoRLd cOmInG To?!?!       *cackles* Actually, you should be asking "What's coming to the world?" And the answer to that, my dear friends, is the one and only  Imagine anthology!!!!! *cue the cheering* If you have no idea what I'm talking about, then here be a lil' blurb to help clear things up! Imagination. Such a small word for such a huge impact it has. Every great story begins here—in that moment after the idea but before the story is completed. The spark. The vision. The idea that will expand into a story that clings to reader’s hearts for a lifetime. An author’s story is limited only by his imagination, and how far he is willing to go to breathe life into characters. To build the foundations of another world. To see the struggles and envision the victories. To search for the magic burning in the darkness.   Teen Writers’ Nook presents a collection of short stories and poems fr...

     Hello, friends! It's been a while since I've done a faith post, so I thought I'd share some thoughts inspired by the one and only movie I Still Believe ! Image Credit:  IMDb     My sisters and I first saw I Still Believe with some friends in the movie theater last year (right before everything shut down *coughs*) but wasn't able to reflect on the messages from the movie afterwards because I was still in an emotional wreck from trying not to start bawling in the middle of the theater. (Seriously, I would not recommend watching a sad movie in public if you don't want to deal with the struggle of keeping your tears in check. It's torture, lemme tell ya.)      Anyway, a couple weeks ago my parents went out one evening and left the house fatefully in the hands of my sisters and me. Thankfully, we didn't burn our lil' homestead to the ground while they were gone 'cause we decided to occupy ourselves with re watching I Still Believe . (Why we ...

    The fact that I didn't post last week will go without comment. 😐 But I hope today's post will make up for it 'cause I think it's one you've been waiting to read for quite some time now. TODAY, you guys will finally get a peek at my WIP!!!!!! *pauses for cheering* Yes, yes, I know, I've taken way too long to share it with y'all, but I hope this post contains everything you hoped for! In fact, it includes not only a summery, but graphics, snippets, and book covers as well!! Is that satisfactory enough? 😉 So let's dive into my insanity filled imagination and see what this is all about! Drumroll please... _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Yeah, I couldn't resist creating more suspense despite your wait. Hehehehe _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ARE. YOU.
