I took a two week break from writing to relax and now I&#8217;m back into it in the planning stage for extending Red Hood and for NaNoWriMo. I start extending <i>Red Hood<\/i> next month!

I decided to try going to an SCA (Society of Creative Anachronism, basically a group that still preserves medieval traditions such as rapier, heavy fighting, and others) fighter practice. I did some rapier fighting and it was really fun! I used to fence and I realized how much I missed fighting with a sword. I&#8217;m strongly considering becoming a member. ^ ^<\/p>\n<p>3.) I finished reading <i>Viral Execution<\/i> by Amanda L.

I did a bunch of reviews on Geeks Under Grace that I&#8217;ve been wanting to do for months now.

I&#8217;m all caught up on <i>Sword Art Online<\/i>&nbsp;and <i>Naruto Shippuden<\/i> dubbed. Feels, man. Feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeels. I also caught up up on&nbsp;<i>Falling Skies<\/i>.

All of my favorite fall shows are starting so I&#8217;m beginning to watch the new eps! I&#8217;ve missed you so much, <i>Doctor Who<\/i>, <i>Castle<\/i>, <i>Arrow<\/i>, <i>the Flash<\/i>, and <i>Once Upon a Time<\/i>. ^ ^<\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" height=\"142\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/castleeyebrowlift.gif?resize=320%2C142\" width=\"320\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\">I&#8217;ve missed this face.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>4.)

I saw <i>Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials<\/i>. I&#8217;m really conflicted about it &#8230; I like parts of it, but not others &#8230; Check out my review mentioned above for details.<\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" height=\"128\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/scorch-trials-gladers.gif?resize=320%2C128\" width=\"320\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Stare out epically.&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-size: large;\">What I Learned:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>1.) Breaks are really refreshing. I need a long one. This is the longest one I&#8217;ve taken since winter. I feel more rejuvenated and less burned out. I recommend taking a break between drafts.<\/p>\n<p>2.) While at SCA I learned a lot about old Italian fighting, like about how they would wear gloves so they could grab the opponent&#8217;s blade to knock aside. I also learned about fighting with a rapier and a dagger, cloak, or buckler. So fascinating!<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/princess-bride-swordfight-o.gif\" \/><\/div>\n<p>\n3.) So I got rejected by one of the publishers that I submitted to. It&#8217;s part of the writer life and I tried to handle it strongly, but I ended up crying and moping for a day. At least it only took a day to get back on my feet this time, so I am learning how to handle this.<\/p>\n<p>4.) When one gets a rejection, get Starbucks. It will make you feel better. Pecan tarts solve problems.<\/p>\n<p>5.) I&#8217;m working on extending Red Hood for a publisher so I&#8217;ve listed all of my scenes and now I&#8217;ve started picking ones to extend. I&#8217;ve made a list of possible scenes to add and write down any ideas I get as I go. I write each scene in the following format to keep organized:<\/p>\n<p>Scene:<br \/>\nPages:<br \/>\nWords:<br \/>\nPOV:<br \/>\nWhat\u2019s happening:<br \/>\nStatus:<\/p>\n<p>The process is a bit difficult, but I&#8217;m excited about adding more in another characters point of view. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">What I&#8217;m Going to Do:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>1.) I&#8217;m going to finish planning for extending <i>Red Hood<\/i> and for <i>Subsapien Hybrid<\/i> (though that may overlap with next month). Next month I begin extending <i>Red Hood<\/i> by 20K!<\/p>\n<p>2.) I&#8217;m going to finish reading<i> the Revised Life of Ellie Sweet<\/i> by Stephanie Morrill and <i>Blur <\/i>by Steven James.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/BlurbyStevenJames.jpg?resize=213%2C320\" width=\"213\" \/><\/div>\n<p>\n3.) I&#8217;m going to work on more expressions challenges next month. I believe I&#8217;m going to work on <a href=\"https:\/\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/2013\/10\/interview-with-emil-subsapien.html\">Ashlyn<\/a> next. I want to get better at drawing children. Then perhaps <a href=\"https:\/\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/2014\/02\/interview-with-ingrid-subsapien.html\">Ingrid<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/2012\/07\/interview-with-caleb-heagen.html\">Caleb<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>4.) Enjoy the wonderfulness of fall that is cool weather, hot beverages, pumpkin everything, and pecan everything. I&#8217;m also looking forward to going to the Georgia National Fair next month and for Halloween! Yay for cosplay!<\/p>\n<p>5.) I want to do even more reviews for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.geeksundergrace.com\/\">Geeks Under Grace<\/a> if I get the time.
