{Sorcha Fails at Writing Articles but She Still Loves You}


I feel like I've really stepped up the game this time with my apology picture. It's not a cute animal in boots but I feel like it's somehow better. Look how casual the rabbits are. I'm pretty sure this is just a typical Tuesday for them.

So, bad news is I've been gone forever and only managed to write you one article before I disapeared. The good news is that I've graduated! *insert fanfare* I have my degree in English so I'm totally qualified to... keep writing this blog! Yay! Post college is scarier than I thought it would be even though it hasn't been a whole month yet. I'm freaking out a little bit but I have a lot of time on my hands so I'm hoping to get in some more reading and write up some more articles for this. I really do feel bad about being gone for so long. Also, one of my friends just opened up University of Geek Stuff so I'll probably be working on some articles for that like how I've just finished watching through Star Trek: The Original Series, maybe some anime reviews, and some stuff on books that I've read prior to starting this project so I can rant about some things I haven't been able to touch on here.

I'll try to update my Goodreads today with what I'm reading through now and some hints on articles you can expect soon. I do have a question for you guys and if you could leave me your opinions in the comments I would appreciate it. I recently read a graphic novel that I really enjoyed and I'm wondering if you think it should count towards my word goal. Obviously graphic novels read much faster and can be quite large without as much to read as a novel of the same size. What do you think? Can I count it? Should I count it for half pages? Should I just write an article anyways even if I don't count the pages? Let me know what you think and I'll let you know what I decide later. Have a good one all and keep reading (even if I'm not the greatest role model :)

{Dramatic Plot Twist!}

I'm soooo sorry for the lag guys. [If you'd like I can insert here a list of the reasons why I haven't posted in a good 1,000 years. This will include things like school, having a social life, being too tired to care about anything, writers block, and much more!] To make it up to you I have included this picture of a tiny pig in rain boots. Stare at his adorableness and forget all grudges you bear against me!


So we're friends now? Good, I'm glad we cleared that up. Now, we have some business to attend to. I'm going to be changing a few things around here. "What's wrong with you Sorcha? Your blog is perfect! How dare you make us try something new after your abandonment we-" Woah, woah, woah guys! We're past that remember? Tiny pig, tiny red boots. Let's not start having convenient memories now.

New Changes to ExLS:
  1. Quest Length - You may or may not have noticed this already (probably depends on whether you read this on the blog or on a reader) but this is no longer the quest to 10,000 pages, it's the quest to 100,000 pages! Dun dun dun! I realized that in 5 posts I should not have gotten 1/10th of the way through my goal, that's way too fast. So I've upped the goal, mostly for the privilege of being able to talk to you lovely people for a much longer time.
  2. Fun Reads Only - I am no longer allowing myself to count school readings towards my goal UNLESS they are something that has already been on my to-read list OR something that one of you guys has recommended for me. Besides, I only have one more year of school left (HUZZAH!) so this rule probably won't even be in play for too much longer (hopefully) but this way you'll probably have some more interesting reviews to read on stuff you're more likely interested in and I won't be such a cheater about it.
  3. New Post-y Things - As you guys know we've had one Fictitious Friday and I had intended for a lot more but that didn't work out so well. But it will! I'm planning to post a lot more of those as well as a couple of other new features. There's also probably going to be a Movie Monday where I can talk specifically about movie adaptions of books (which I've actually seen getting better over the last couple of years as well as more numerous) that I hope you'll find interesting. Also, I've decided to start doing Domestic Dimanche (which means Sunday in French; I decided to go with this a. because I like being fancy and b. alliterations with S suck) which will kind of be my free post. I'll use that to talk about things that are going on in my life, anything that's particularly important to me, a hodge podge essentially.
I hope some of these new ideas sound good to you guys. Feel free to let me know what you think in the comments or if you have any other new ideas I'd love to hear them. I'm looking forward to seeing you guys around some more. <3
