February Recap!

     Wow! February is almost over. Here is my short recap of February. :)


Reading
I read one book this month.
"The Mysterious Benedict Society" by Trenton Lee Stewart.

Writing
I did a ton of writing the first half of the month. On February 10th at exactly midnight I finished my novel!!!! The first draft of "Royal Fire" is complete!
I started another novel. I'm trying some new things with this one. I'm trying longhand and first person. So far I like longhand better than typing.

Music
I listened to a lot of music while finishing my book. Here are the songs I listened to the most.
"The Fever" Lecrae ft. Andy Mineo and Pappa San
"I Know" Lecrae
"Upgraded" Capital Kings
"Church Clothes" Lecrae
"Live for the Drop" Capital Kings
"Got You on My Mind" NF

Random stuff
I got to see "The Lego Batman Movie."


We've had snow on the ground for the past two months and it finally melted. It was really unusual to have that much snow for that long.

Until next Friday,
Jonathan

    CONGRATS ON YOUR NOVEL! It's really cool that you finished it at MIDNIGHT as well. (I can never write that late...:P)

    You're writing longhand for a first draft? That's great! There is something a bit different about forming letters with your hand rather than pounding away on the keyboard ;-)

      Thank you, Audrey!
      I don't usually stay up that late writing, but I was almost done. :)
      I think forming letters with my hand helps the story flow better.

Highlighting March.

Image
Wow! March has already marched on. *plays "Imperial March" in the background*  I decided to post about my highlights of March. Here are some of my highlights of this month. Track started!! I decided on a beginning for my book.  We celebrated my brother James' birthday.   We got some new chicks. I got glasses. That actually happened in February though. I found a new (to me) author. His name is Wayne Thomas Batson. These are the books I read this month. "The Magician's Nephew" by C. S. Lewis "The Last Ride" by Susan K. Marlow (For the record my sister and I traded books and this is the one I got. Otherwise I wouldn't have read it.) "An Acceptable Time" by Madeline L'Engle (I haven't finished this one yet.)  I listened to some awesome music this month. Here's some of my favorites.    "My Religion" by Skillet (This song is AWESOME.) "Alone" by Hollyn "The River"

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Review!!!

Image
       It has been thirty years since the destruction of the Empire. The First Order is trying to take control of the galaxy. The only thing standing there way is a small band of Resistance fighters, a scavenger, An ex-soldier, and a pilot. Sex- none Drugs- none Language- 1 D*mn, 1 H*ll, 1H*ll no Nudity- none Violence- Spaceships explode, characters are shot with blasters and punched, cut and stabbed with lightsabers.        Character is shocked. Several explosions.       First of all I want to say this movie is AWSOME!!! I liked that they had the original actors. I also really like the new actors. The action and humor was really good. I do wish that it had more space battles, but the spaceship battles they had were good.       A lot of people I know think Kylo Ren should have kept his helmet or should have been played by a different person. They did not like the actor. I on the other hand thought he was a little young, but other than that I tho
