Things are getting crazy...

So, my life has been hectic and pretty crazy recently. My health's getting worse, school's not going so well, and neither are my relationships with my friends and family. Still no job too. However, I'm ever the optimist, so I try to find the good in things. I'll be visiting my dad's side of the family at the end of the month. I'll have at least a few days free of stress and pressure. Or, at least as stressless as possible. I love my family, but I'm the black sheep and we all know it. On the other hand, I've won a couple of prizes in various hops and such, so that's pretty cool. I've won like $25 in amazon gift cards from 3 different contests, LOL. I got a replacement laptop (though it's my mom's old, malfunctioning one that hates my guts. And yes, technology can hate you). It's been overheating a lot today and yesterday, so I'm hoping it doesn't die on me too.

Also, I'm participating in a blog hop this week, the BDSM Unleashed Blog Hop, hosted by The Playroom Authors. And no, this isn't because of Fifty Shades of Grey (and no, I haven't read it). I'll add the link at the end for anyone who wants to check it out. Well, that's all for now. I just needed to rant a bit. Thanks for listening! :)



The Author's Playroom BDSM Unleashed Blog Hop

Congrats Nikki!

So, while thinking of who I wanted to talk about next, I received an invite from a Goodreads friend of mine named Nikki who is the blogger behind Close Encounters With The Night Kind (another awesome name). She is celebrating her blog's 1 year anniversary, so I thought I'd share it here. Since I just started my blog, seeing a friend celebrate a whole year of blogging is pretty awesome! And what a year it was for Nikki. From book reviews to giveaways to awesome blog designs, she's done it all! I'm so happy for you Nikki, congrats to you and here's to another wonderful year!!

Book Whore's blog

So, my first link is to a contest being run by a very interesting lady who goes by the name Book Whore. I was looking through links and checked out her blog just because of the name. Boy, am I glad I did. See Book Whore aka Danielle features all sorts of stuff all relating to books. From author guest posts, to reviews, to her very own book club, this gal's got everything. Yes, even giveaways. In fact she right now has a giveaway celebrating her followers as she's trying to get 1000 followers. So far she has over 850 and counting which I thought was crazy! Anyways, go check her out, you won't be disappointed!

Beginnings...

So, I've proposed having a blog for a while now and have never gotten around to it. My life is very hectic, so time is very rare. I then thought, what would I blog about? And so I thought, and I thought, and I came up with Sharing Links and Wisdom. I decided I would post about things that got my attention, news, authors, other blogs, and general info and that I would share that info with anyone who decided to read my blog. I don't promise it will change your life and I'm a beginner to all this, so I'm not promising perfection. There will be mistakes, periods of absence, and heck, I might not even get any followers. But this is an adventure, one that I'm finally taking. And that's the most important thing of all. So here's to new beginnings.
