How Nancy Drew Has Inspired Me

To end my month of Nancy Drew posts, I thought it would be fun to share how Nancy Drew, or should I say that Nancy Drew game series inspired me to start my own blog.  Before I started writing this post, I actually had a few other ideas for what I wanted my last ND post for my blog this month.  I had it all written and prepared but I felt that it was too much of a filler post and decided to kind of get back to my roots of how HeR's Nancy Drew encouraged me to start blogging. So let get started!

My Flourishing December Goals 2020

It seems like it's been forever since I've written anything on my blog and I suppose it has since the last time I wrote anything for my blog was back in September and my last post was on October 2nd.  I thought it would be a good idea to just share kind of what's been happening over the last few months and why I haven't been posting/active on social media.  As well as what I'm planing on in the future on my blog.  So let's get started!

March Blogging Goals 2020

It seems like time is just flying by and as February comes to an end.  Now we move onto March!  The start to spring with the warmer weather, spring showers, and more games to be released!  So for todays post I'm going to be focusing on what I'm going to be doing this month.  Let's get stared!

Well this month is going to be busy!  After dropping one of my classes in mid February, I had so much more free time that I was excited to take some time off from blogging extensively and homework since I had planned and written out all my reviews in advance.  Well next month, out of the four classes I'm taking, one is ending today as I have to submit my final exam and a paper today.  The second class I'm taking will continue until May.  Now to the fun part of my last two classes.  I have two 8 week classes starting soon and oh boy are they busy looking!  This will definitely take time away from blogging and hopefully during my spring break I'll get the change to get a head with my reviews and post up until May!

So then it leads me to the questions, what am I planing on reviewing over the next month?  Well  at the moment, I have two very special games that I will be reviewing this month!  I can't wait to review these two games and I hope to have them out very soon as I am in the pre-stages of prepping my post in advance before I play and review the game.  However, since I haven't really announce what game I'm going to be playing yet, I'm just going to keep it a surprise for now.  I might share on what the games are over on Twitter so make sure you're following me at @RetrosepctBlog.

Though these two posts will only take up two of my four posts this month, I am also planing on reviewing some more of my favorite Nancy Drew games as well!  I've been really wanting to finish up more of my Nancy Drew reviews that have been sitting on my to do list for over 6 years (I'm not kidding about how long its taken me).  I have two games in mind that I will be writing my reviews for in-between these other two games.

Thank you everyone for reading!  This month and probably the next three months up until after exams in May are going to make blogging super hectic but I'm up for the challenge!  If there is any change in my schedule when it come to posting then you can find then usually over on my Twitter @RetrospectBlog!  So are you looking forward to my next set of review and can you guess what Nancy Drew games I will be reviewing next? Let me know in the comment below as I would love to see your guesses.

January Blogger Goals 2020

It's officially 2020 and I am super excited for what this year has to bring!  Last year, I set a bunch of New Years resolutions over the whole year.  Well, you can say that I did pretty well last year as I reached a few of my goals such as being more active in the blogging community, being consistent in blogging, and finishing a games before starting new ones.  Well this year, I think I'm going to set a few monthly goals instead of yearly goals.  So let's get started on this months goals.

Post At Least 4 Times This Month

Every year I try to blog as consistently as possible and having at least one post go out every Friday at 12pm AZ time.  This is my normal blogging schedule and I'm really hoping to stick with it this year since I seem to struggle at the beginning of the year with blogging due to getting busy with classes and just finding the motivation to write.  This year I hope with my more relaxed schedule that it will allow me to not only write post but to get ahead with it.

Get Better at Commenting on Other Posts

I have a slightly bad habit of not commenting on others post if I enjoyed what they wrote.  This month I'm hoping to improve on this and get better at commenting on everyones post that I read.

Take Time off When Needed

Whenever I get into blogging I always ended up getting burn out since I have a bad habit of trying to over work myself.  This month I'm hoping to create a balance between my blogging and taking time off.

Improve my Blog Content

Over the last year I've been improving my older blogs content and updating my older review grammar, pictures, and basically adding new things into my older reviews.  I'm super excited to continue updating everything and I can't wait for everyone too read my updated work.

Thank you everyone for reading!  I hope I'm able to follow through with my goals for the month and continue improving my blog!  So what goals do you have for either this month or this year?  I would love to know in the comments down below.

Until next time,

My Flourishing Retrospect Overview 2019

Well its come to an end.  My Flourishing Retrospect 2019 journey has been a blast this year with so many opportunities and games that I've played over the year.  So for todays post I think I'm going to do just a little over view of 2019.  This will be the last post before the end of 2019, but never fear!  I will be back in January 2020 to start off the new year with a bang! So let's get started!

December Goals 2019

Looks like we only have month month left before we say goodbye to 2019 and hello to 2020.  I remember thinking about reaching this year many years ago and thinking thats such a long time from now.  I think this was back in 2007, 2008, or somewhere before 2010.  Man time has gone by fast.  With that I think that I need to look over my goals that I put into plan last month and plan off my year with a bang or achieving goals.  So to start of Blogmas right I think im going to share my goals for the month.  So let's get started!

Happy 6th Birthday My Flourishing Retrospect

I've been blogging for over 6 years now.  Wow!  6 years of writing, learning, expanding, and just overall enjoyment.  Over the last year, it's been my goal to move forward with my blog and try to reach my highest of standards of accomplishing my goals and just having fun with it and making content that I enjoy and I hope everyone that reads my blog enjoys.

November Blogging Goals 2019

There are only 2 more months left int he year and I thought that for todays post that I would write about my goals for this month.  I’ve really wanted to try and write out a little list for myself as I try to get back into blogging a little bit more seriously as I just quietly left my blog to try and fend for itself.  However I hope to change that by creating some goals.

My Flourishing Retrospect 2019 New Year Resolutions

It's officially 2019 and I can’t believe time has gone so fast.  It feels like it was just 2018 yesterday… well it was but now we can all start planing what we want to have for our resolutions!  To be honest I don’t normally do these as I normally forget or I just can’t keep up with them or I just find them silly.  Well, this year I really want to create a few and see what I can do over the next 365 days.  Now I'm not going to create crazy goals only goals I know that I can complete.  So let's get started!

The Fall Tag

Recently I was tagged by Daniella over at The Little Book Spy to participate in The Fall Tag!  If you haven’t already go check out my twins blog!  The creator of this lovely tag was Ellduclos, so go check her out as well.

My Flourishing Retrospect

Its official!  My blog has been renamed to My Flourishing Retrospect.  Its been over a month since I've really written any thing for my blog and I can't believe that my blog has surpassed its third birthday that was back in November.  I didn't really write a post for my blog anniversary, but today I'm going to do just that...three months later... But it's better late than never.  Yeah, I know I'm not the best at keeping track with everything on my blog and I don't think I ever really said why I stopped posting in the first place.
