Hello

Hello all! It's been a while since my last update. I have been taking time to think about what has gone on this academic year and to think about how I want to go forward.

One thing I learned is that I don't have any passion for psychology and have no interest in the careers that psychology allows one to have. I'm still interested in the subject, but only for the purposes of learning more about people so that my characters are more realistic. As a result, I'll be changing my major to something else.

This year was also difficult due to numerous health issues that had occurred. There was a point in time when I wasn't sure if I could even finish the year without medical leave. It was even more shocking when I found out  ended the semester with As! I'm learning more about what I need to do to take care of myself and learning more about why my body does the things it does. Hopefully, it will make next year easier.

I'm also working on moving forward with my writing career. I launched five new blogs since the start of 2018 and I've entered two poems to two literary journals in the hope that I might get published. One is circulated at the college I go to and the other one is a journal that has a larger readership. Hopefully, one or both will feature my work. I'm also slowly working on a new novel, a movie script, and a TV script. I don't know how much I'll get done before the end of the summer but I hope to have a complete draft of something at least!

I hope you are all doing well!

Reflection

A lot has changed during this academic year. I'm not really sure how to describe all that happened or how I would begin to write about it. But, one thing is certain at the end of my sophomore year, I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm learning that it's okay not to know, though, it still leaves me uneasy. I'm questioning a lot of choices I've made and relationships I've let fall apart or kept for too long. For the most part, I'm taking time to evaluate what it is I really want out of my life and what it is I want to do. 

I hope everything is going well for you all!

Announcement

Hey all!

I decided to create a blog specifically for the Positivity Challenge. I figured it would make things a lot neater since I still plan on making other posts on this blog. You can follow my new blog here: https://positivelywonderfulchallengeblog.blogspot.com. Also, if you want to get more updates on my blogs, you can like my page on FB at The Magical Blue Dragon or friend me: Briana Reh Daly.

Have an awesome day/night!

Day 3: Positivity Challenge

Good Morning everyone!

Today I was able to get an 8 page paper done within a short time frame so that I can be back on track in the class. It definitely takes a load off of my shoulders knowing that I don't need to worry about it anymore.

Day 2 of Positivity Challenge

Hello!

So, for today's positive thing that happened to me is something that caused me the most pride...I had unplanned social interaction and I didn't die (a bit overdramatic but sometimes socializing really feels like a battle in a war if I am surrounded by people I don't know)! Anyway, I'm really proud of the fact that it happened. However, I believe I should try to get out of my dorm more and practice socializing because that skill could use some work.

I hope you have a good night/day!

     Hey everyone! I'm back! And, as I said in my last post, I am reinventing this blog. I have decided to use this blog for something positive (in a small way). I will be making a post everyday about something I felt was good. Some posts might be shorter due to this being a busy semester. However, I feel that this will still effectively show my journey to being a writer while also getting me to think more on the positive side of things (I'm usually very pessimistic).

     So, for today's good event, I was able to get through a good chunk of my assignments so that tomorrow I can focus on an essay and studying for exams!

     Also, I have launched a new blog solely for poetry! It's called Poetry from a Dragon's Heart, a Fairy's Spirit, and My Restless Mind. You can also find it on Blogger or by using this link: https://dhfsmrm.blogspot.com. In addition, I have officially launched a tumblr blog for my comics! I have never considered myself a good artist but I have wanted to draw comics of some form or another for a while now. Anyway, here is the link: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/theintrovertedmagicalbluedragon. Please make sure to follow them! Not only am I doing these things, I also plan on launching another blog after the end of the semester so keep a look out for it!

     I hope that you all have a magical day/night!

Hey all!

I have decided to stop this blog. I have been working on this for a year but I never felt like I was doing what I wanted to accomplish with this blog. I wanted to chronicle my life as a writer but I'm not satisfied with my writing quality and my avoidance of talking about my life. I am also going through a lot right now and I need to fill my life with things that make me happier. And while writing this blog has given me moments of joy, it's also been the cause of major doubt of my self worth. The problem was that I had certain ideas of what would happen with this blog but none of what I imagined has happened.

However, I will be back, better and stronger than before but with a different blog. I've been thinking a lot about what I want and I've come to the conclusion that this just isn't good for me anymore.

Thank you all for going on this journey with me! I hope that you all have a wonderful year!
