My Writing Playlist: Songs to Listen To Before, During, and After Writing

I love listening to music about writing. Two awesome art forms come together to support each other and inspire us unworthy humans. It's like having two…

Bookish Pumpkin DIYs!

The thesaurus may not agree with me, but I'm 99% sure that "Halloween" and "Edgar Allen Poe" are synonymous. After all, the best time to read…

I just finished On the Come Up and I would like to declare Angie Thomas to be poet laureate. Or young adult laureate. Does that exist? That should exist. She deserves it. ⠀⠀ What other 2019 releases are you excited for? I’m still excited that I finally got to read On the Come Up, but I’m also excited for: 💛 Watch Us Rise by Renee Watson and Ellen Hagan 💛 Shout by Laurie Halse Anderson ⠀⠀ - #angiethomas #onthecomeup #shelfie #writer #bookshelf
This is the diary where I track all my yearly reading. I have a goal to read 52 books a year, one for every week. (I actually end up reading like ten books in one week and then none for two months straight because of course, but that’s beside the point.) I ended up reading 61 books in 2018. Check out my blog for my full reading list! ⠀⠀ #2018reading #writer #writing #amwriting #teenwriters #writersofinstagram #bookish #books #teenwriter #writingcommunity #book #writerslife #bookworm #bookstagram #amediting #reading #booktography #writerswrite #novel #booklover #author #goal #bibliophile
This account is 2 & 1/2 years old, but I realized I never introduced myself?? I guess better late than never! ⠀⠀ 💛 Hello there! I’m Vivian. I’m a writer, reader, blogger, and all-around-word-lover hailing from the Jersey Shore. I’m consistently overdressed, have a black bob n’ bangs, and vintage-inspired glasses. (The hair color’s fake, the glasses are real, and style is a way of life.) 💛 I’m currently working on a book, a contemporary coming of age novel called The Space We Take. I’m on my third draft. It is simultaneously the thing I love and hate the most in the world. It’s the second book I’ve written, but the first I’m seriously thinking of pursuing publication with. (After many, many more edits.) 💛 A couple of my favorite things: Renoir, cookies, yellow, Project Runway and other competitive reality shows, knitting, and Emily Dickinson. 💛 My fave authors/books: Margaret Atwood, Tell the Wolves I’m Home, Her Bodies and Other Parties, Claudia Rankine, and The Thing About Jellyfish. 💛 I care a little too much about everything. This has its drawbacks (I seem to think that every school project must be HGTV quality in design) but it’s what’s led me to follow my passions. Even when I had a teacher that said if you tried to be a writer, you were asking to flip burgers at a McDonalds. Here’s the truth: I will flip ten thousand burgers if it gives me the chance to write. (And because I care too much about everything, they will be the best burgers you’ve ever tasted.) ⠀⠀ #writer #writing #amwriting #teenwriters #writersofinstagram #bookish #books #writingcommunity #book #bookstagram #shelfie #bookshelves #bookstore
Here’s a peek into my bag! I usually carry around a book (just finished Circe - SO good), a pen (I’m a fan of InkJoy pens right now), a lipstick (red), and a journal...I’m keeping a consistent journal for the first time in years thank to my friend @noozibii , who made me a notebook. I tried to force myself to write every day for years, but recently I’ve only been writing in my journal if I have something I want to remember or feel like dissecting something. I also jot down any observations I have. I’m actually writing more this way! 💛 💛 💛 #journal #journaling #bag #flatlay #writer #writing #amwriting #teenwriters #writersofinstagram #bookish #books #teenwriter #writingcommunity #book #writerslife #bookworm #bookstagram #amediting #author
