First Post of the Year!

This is my computer named Jem. He's awesome.

Hey Everyone!

Well, it is nine days into the new year and it dawned on me that I should start a blog. I have done blogs before, but I wanted to do something completely different from previous ones.

This blog, I decided, would be about me and my love for books. These "books" would be either books I am reading or writing! I am an aspiring author and this year will be filled with plenty of editing. That is something I can guarantee.

The book I will be editing this year (since I am a mere two chapters from being done) is called The Prince. In its original form, it is a fanfiction found on wattpad. It's about, you guessed it, Harry Styles. I've always written fanfiction, it's not something I can get away from easily because it helps my characters come to life. I do change their personalities, but writing to these people helps me get a sense of who they are. Writing on Wattpad is also a great platform for this style of writing. Look at New  York Times bestselling author Anna Todd, she had over one billion reads by the time she was published. That amount of success is not common, but it is something I can only dream of.

Something I will also be doing this year is a reading goal on Goodreads. Now, I attempted this last year (I probably passed), but I did a lot of rereads. My goal for this year is to read 52 books in total. However, on my goodreads, you will probably notice that it says 40. Basically, I want to read 40 new books this year and 12 can be rereads. Complicated, I know. I love reading and to be the best writer I can be, I have to read. It is my life.

I will see you all tomorrow with a new blog post. Resolution: blog every day of 2015, you did a shit job last year.

See you all tomorrow!
