Okay, okay, that&#8217;s not all I&#8217;ve been doing, but sometimes it feels like it. Bah. Anywho, in ye olde Carolina I made new friends, which was amazing, and improved my artist skills, but that&#8217;s not too exciting.<\/p>\n<p>Never fear, past me, you did indeed do NaNo! Barely scraped by, but you did it! I did it! Sorry I didn&#8217;t put up a poll like I have before. I&#8217;ll talk more about the book I wrote, &#8220;Life, Death, and the Other Things&#8221;, on its own page once I make that (at the top, under the &#8220;Books&#8221; tab, if you&#8217;re wondering :).<\/p>\n<p>In other news, I joined DeviantArt (yaaaay), a site where people upload their art and look at other people&#8217;s art, and traveled around the good old USA (which is feeling more &#8220;old&#8221; than &#8220;good&#8221; after being here for&#8230; *deep breath* OVER A YEAR). I got to see snow and old friends (more good than old), buy video games and other things (my priorities are right on target, aren&#8217;t they?), spend time with the extended family, see cool sights and do cool things, and really, a good time was had by all. I think. I even got to be a part of my aunt&#8217;s wedding, which was awesome!<\/p>\n<p>Soon, hopefully, I&#8217;ll be\u00a0completing online school and we&#8217;ll be going back to Kenya! Then it&#8217;s right into a new school, thankfully <em>not<\/em> online. It&#8217;s gonna be a change, for sure. Needless to say, prayer would be appreciated.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s about it for now. Nothing exciting, I know. Besides updating the book pages\/description-thingies here, I&#8217;m also hoping to put up a short story I wrote for English called &#8220;Not-Cool Yule&#8221; (that will be under &#8220;Short Stories&#8221;, FYI). And I&#8217;ll\u00a0try and link my DeviantArt, if you want to see that garbage&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Write y&#8217;all later!<\/p>\n<p>~Grace<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent. <em>~Proverbs 17:28, ESV<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>P.S.
