The flowers are blooming, I got a little progress in my book, I registered for Summer classes, and I had a friend visit whom I haven’t seen in a year!
What I did
1.) I’m up to 40K in my draft of In Darkest Starlight, so I’m slowly getting to my goal.
2.) First news, I’m officially registered for college classes in the Summer. I’m really nervous, but hopefully, I’ll do okay.
Secondly (and the best news of this month), I had my lovely friend Cadi visit. I hadn’t seen her in a year and it was so great to finally see her again after all that time. We went to the Georgia Aquarium, hiked Kennesaw Mountain, ate good food, watched Wolf Walkers, played King’s Quest, browsed a Confederate cemetery, and explored Gibbs Gardens!
3.) I finished reading Dune by Frank Herbert, Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynn Jones, Snow and Rose by Emily Winfield Martin, and the Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman! Look at me go. XD
4.) I’ve been sculpting like crazy because of my new Etsy shop and you can check out more pics on my Neverfound Figures Instagram, but here is a sculpture I did of Anne of Green Gables!
The Geeky Department
1.) I played What Remains of Edith Finch on the PS4 and though I liked the idea of it, I felt like the game was incomplete. I’ve also just started Professor Layton and the Curious Village which is a game I’ve had since a teen for my Nintendo DS but for some reason never played!
2.) Gosh, The Promised Neverland season 2 is so great! This has become one of my favorite animes!
3.) I’m watching both the second season of Cells at Work! and Cells at Work! Code Black! And they’re so fascinating and creative and educational!
4.) At the time of writing this the “last” Attack on Titan episode hasn’t come out, but I really hope there’s going to be a part two of this season because there’s too much to wrap up in one episode!
5.) I’ve also been watching a few Netflix shows and movies. Captain Fantastic was a really thought-provoking film starring Viggo Mortensen. The Last Czars was a really in-depth docuseries about the fall of Czar Nicholas and his family, though they could have gone into less detail about a few things. I’m also watching The Queen’s Gambit, which is a very odd show lol.
What I’m Going to Do
1.) I’m going to participate in Camp NaNo so I have the kick in the pants to finally finish this dumb draft. XD
2.) I’m visiting a friend next month and celebrating Easter with family and those are the only exciting things happening. XD
3.) I’m going to be reading Circe by Madeline Miller and The Wolf in the Whale by Jordanna Max Brodsky!
4.) I’ll be sculpting more pieces! If you want to get more updates on those, check out my Neverfound Figures Instagram account!

Conclusion
March was a pretty refreshing month. ^ ^
I’ve been meaning to watch Wolf Walkers how is it?
Oh and is the second season of The Promised Neverland out! *slightly panics*
Glad you had a good month!
Oh it’s awesome! One thing I will note is that Cromwell is based on a historical figure. I thought he was just another typical religious bad guy but he’s historically accurate.
You’ve gotta watch it! I’ve heard it veered from the manga but I still enjoyed it. )
I’m so happy to hear you had such a refreshing March! ^_^ That’s fantastic you and Cadi got to hang out. And I have been LOVING seeing all the epic figures you’ve been creating! That’s really exciting you signed up for summer classes. You totally got this, girl!
Oooh, you started Professor Layton and the Curious Village? I LOVE that game! The music and setting is just *chef’s kiss*. Definitely a favorite from my teenage years! So glad you’re giving it a try. Hilariously enough, I never did play through the many other Professor Layton games… But I hear they’re ALL really good!
And you KNOW I’m ecstatic you finally read Howl’s Moving Castle. XD Only my favorite book EVER! I’m definitely curious to read all your thoughts on it.
Thanks for sharing your month with us! I do hope April proves to be just as lovely! <3
Aw thank you! 😀
I just finished it! It had such a twist at the end! I didn’t expect it! I’ve had the game for years but for some reason never played it haha!
I hope yours is amazing too!
