2018 Favorite List: Books, TV shows, & Moments

Can you believe the winter Olympics was held this year? It seems like so long ago...like there's no way we watched Sean White ski and we all cried when he won. (Okay, maybe that was just me but that was amazing)  The whole event doesn't feel like this year, but, the calendar says otherwise. 

It has been a year to remember (for a lot of good reasons) and I wanted to do a quick top three list of some of my favorite things. 

Top Three Books
  • The Hating Game by Sally Thorne 
  • The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang
  • Josh and Hazel's Guide to Not Dating by Christina Lauren 

Top Three TV Shows
  • Bob's Burgers
  • Barry
  • Glow

Top Three Writing Things I learned
  • Keeping a daily word count tracker changed my life. I finished five books this year (a new record) since I started tracking when/how much/where I write. It shows me what times and days I'm most productive and I plan around it. 
  • I cannot plot a story. I make it up as a go and if I try to plot, it slows everything down.
  • Cumulative adjectives are my own personal hell. When two adj. can be reserved in a sentence, that's cumulative and doesn't require a comma. When they can't be reversed, it's coordinate and requires a comma. Never knew that before this year and am still struggling with it. 

Top Three Moments
  • Signing three contracts for next year!
  • My brother getting married and getting a new sister-in-law!
  • Paying off student loans! (Never thought this day would come, oh my god, yay!)

The problem with "favorite lists" is that there are tons of more books, TV shows, things learned, and moments that made this past year incredible. I am very lucky to have such a supporting family that understands how much writing means to me and lets me sit at my desk for hours at a time.  There have been a lot of secret projects the past couple months and I cannot wait to share them all with you in 2019!

​I hope you all had a wonderful 2018 and I wish you all the best for the upcoming year!

XO
