The 100 Novel Review

3.5 out of 5 stars rounded up! This was a lot of fun! The 100 is one of my favorite tv shows. I've seen it at least three or four times, and I just started a new rewatch because I was looking for some comfort and nostalgia. Honestly it's one of the best sci-fi shows out there. And I enjoyed the first season of the show much more than this book, but it was still fun seeing another take on these characters; like when your teacher in elementary school tells everyone to draw a monster or a tree, so you can see how everybody executes the same ideas differently.

  Things I did this week that were not writing or editing: Replayed Horizon Zero Dawn Cleaned out my wood stove Started 3-4 fires in said stove Watched art vlogs (by ImAWonder and Caro Arevelo) Listened to old music Listened to new music Cleaned my floors Complained about writer's block in my journal Complained about not journaling enough in my journal Wrote this list And now I'm going to try and actually do some work. I don't know why it's so hard to get things moving. But once they do they usually stay that way for a while, so that's something, right?
