where did april go?

april was such a busy month for me,
it went by so rapidly my memories are all blurring together.

Hi again.
Sorry I've been absent recently; many unexpected things came up and I was just so busy!
But I'm back now (I know you've heard that one before... haha).

The good thing is: I won my first Camp NaNoWriMo! (insert overly-used smiley face here.)
Yup, it's all over and now I can go back to writing at my own pace (which is considerably less than 1,667 words a day).


Also, I read some great books recently.  To name a few:

Saving June by Hannah Harrington 
(loved this book sooo much that I had to buy my own copy)

Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell 
(such a cute story, but don't even get me started on the ending)

Pivot Point by Kasie West
(loved the plotline and the ending was so unexpected and the book was simply spectacular)


Alright, I'll make sure to blog more often, I promise you. ;)

dreams ~

dreams have always fascinated me.
Ever since I was little, the concept of dreaming was something I thought about.
I've managed to think of many questions that I'd like to understand in all these years, like:
why do you have dreams some nights while others you don't?
why do you see yourself sometimes, while sometimes you see through your eyes?
why do your friends and acquaintances appear in strange roles in your dreams?
why are some dreams completely random, while others seem to have a definite storyline?

It doesn't make sense to me.  
So, I was looking up these questions on Google (because how else do you learn information? haha I'm joking guys) and I didn't really find any answers.

The concept of dreams hasn't seemed to be completely understood by anyone just yet... 
I find this just so strange.

Do you think life today would be completely different without dreams?
Our world would be devoid of many books in which the plotline was inspired by the author's dream.
Maybe some inventions wouldn't exist either.
I'm not sure just how different our world would be.

dreams are such a strange thing to think about, aren't they?

on writing.

writing, writing, writing.

This has been my life lately.

Next month, Camp NaNoWriMo begins.  In case you don't know, NaNoWriMo is when you write 50,000 words in November.  Camp NaNoWriMo, however, is in April and July this year, and you get to choose how your word count goal for the month.

So I've decided on doing April's Camp NaNoWriMo...

this will be fun.

So I participated in NaNo last year's November, but I didn't outline my story beforehand, so I finished all 50,000 words, but I wrote myself into a corner that I couldn't find a way out of.  

This time around, I've learned my lesson.
This time, I'm outlining my novel.

I recently had a great idea and I've been spending every day thinking about possible plot twists and character developments, sub-plots and the ending,  

The ending is what's causing me all of the trouble.

The ending to a novel is the most important part, in my opinion.  You have to leave your reader with an ending that ties up nearly everything and surprises the reader and leaves them feeling complete (if it's a standalone) or wanting more (if it's a series).

That's just my point of view on things.

I am so excited for Camp NaNoWriMo!

If you're participating in April, you should comment! :)

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, I suggest you visit

Excitement.

There are many things happening in 2013 that I'm thrilled for.
So, I thought I'd make a list (in order of release date.)

February 5 -- Unravel Me (Shatter Me #2) by Tahereh Mafi (chapter sixty-two!)
February 14 -- Beautiful Creatures Movie (I'm really hoping this will be good!)
March 19 -- Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare (who will Tessa pick?!)
March 29 -- The Host Movie (I have yet to read the book but will read before 3/29!)
April 9th -- Paramore's new album xD (it's going to be amazing.)
August 23 -- City of Bones Movie! (extremely excited for this!)
October 22 -- Divergent #3 by Veronica Roth (I don't want Divergent to end!)
October 22 -- The Retribution of Mara Dyer (Mara Dyer #3) by Michelle Hodkin (really sad this series will be over but must know what happens!)

So that's what I'm looking forward to this year. :]

Um... Hi?

Why hello there.

I'm trappedinapoem, and this is my blog!
I don't know what I'll be posting on here, but it will most likely be about books, music, movies, and whatever catches my eye.

I've been wanting to start a blog for a while now so let's see how this goes!

But before we start, you may want to know some things about me...

I'm an avid reader and I write constantly as well.

I love quoting people, and do it on a daily basis. "Why?" you ask.  

And my response is, why not?

Back to the topic...

I'm 14 years old.

I'm currently writing two different novels and lots of poetry.

And I hope you like my blog.
