One year later

I can't believe its been nearly a year since my last blog post.

HOLY COW!

A lot has happened since I have been away from this blog.

Shortly before my last Writing Prompt I got married on December 15 2018. We are about to celebrate our first anniversary. No kids but we got a cat named Neptune. Princess Nep-Nep for short, though my hubby tells me to stop calling her princess.

I plan to do more writing prompts once the holidays are over. I have answered some of them but have not had the time to type them up. My YouTube channel has been on the back burner this year too. Marriage is a big change. I had to let life take its course and adjust to the changes. (A separate post on that later).

I hope 2020 is filled with more writing and music. We are moving to our new assignment next summer and I am weirdly excited about it. I am not allowed to say where but it will surely be warmer than where I am now. A few years ago I would have been really scared of all the moving. I am excited for new places and the adventures that will unfold. This city had a candy unique to the area. I wonder what new foods and places I will get to see in the next city. I am also excited to see the sites and learn more about US history first hand as we are still on the East coast for the time being.

See you all in the next post.

Writing Prompt #15

#15 Create your own superhero. What special powers would this hero possess? How would he or she use those powers? What would his or her name be?

My fiance decided to help with this one. 

Our hero will be female of the Amazonian build similar to Wonder Woman(trademarked). Her powers would be a combination of incredible strength and martial arts abilities as well as the ability to control the mind but only for purposes of a peaceful outcome. Basically she can only use her psychic abilities if her desire is for a resolution with less carnage. 

Her name is Sara Bella.

Writing Prompt #14

Who is your favorite cartoon character?

I have not watched cartoons in a really long time but back in the day one of my favorites was Doug. He was relatable back when I was in school. In the present time, I watch some animated films and I have quite a few favorites from those too. Merida from Brave is one of my favorite princesses of the Pixar/ Disney line. Followed closely by Belle. I know Belle had a Stockholm syndrome but the fact that she loved to read and grow her knowledge is what makes me connect with her as a character. Merida on the other hand is a strong Scottish princess that is forced to be a prize in a series of contests. They have to fight for her hand in marriage. I just love that they decided to make a movie about a Scottish princess.

Writing Prompt #13

#13 Describe your idea of a perfect vacation.

As a kid my perfect vacation would have been to Florida. Somewhere where there is a beach and maybe somewhere fun to go like an amusement park. As an adult this hasn’t changed much.

As you all know, I am getting married next year. Where will I be going for my honeymoon? Florida, of course. There are many reasons for this but mainly my fiance is in the military and can’t cross the border without express permission to do so. Another reason is because I really want to visit Universal and see the Harry Potter Parks. I think we would both enjoy that.

Vacation also depends on the time of the year and what the weather will be like. As an adult I also bare in mind the cost of going to different places and compare them before I choose. As a kid you don’t think about the cost of the trip, just the fun involved.

Mini-Update

It's been about a month since my last entry. Nothing much has really changed since then.

I got to visit my in-laws. My fiance got deployed to a hurricane zone and then sent home early. I can't elaborate on that at all. As a result of it my first planned trip was cancelled. I will be going to visit him at some point in October instead. Best Birthday present ever.

While I am there and while he is at work, I plan to do some more writing. I will schedule the posts way in advance. Thank goodness I have that ability on here. 

I wish I could do more right now but it's just not possible to do it all.

I feel like I am constantly making excuses for not keeping up with some of my hobbies. This includes my music. I have not practiced properly in months. My family would not allow me to perform at the last Alive After event. There is another in October but I am not allowed. They think busking is begging and it really isn't. By state law, you are not allowed to put up signs or use amplifying devices. I just have my case out. I hope that when I move that I will find more and better opportunities for that too.

I hope to be back soon,

Melody
