It has been awhile. I need to get my act together! But the problem is that I am learning sooo much in my classes and in internship, I just don’t have time. In fact, I should be working on my assignments and not posting. Maybe I have connected more with my YA patrons then I had thought. Food for thought, there.

I posted for Loki. I have found a new source of inspirtation of research–for later. I need to do a post for my reading of American Gods; I finally got around to reading it in June as well as other YA books. Since this is my field, I am doing…research, heehee. I need to finish that Wicked Lovely series, but it will have to wait because currently, my Graphic Novel in Libraries class have me reading the following books:

It has been over a month since I last wrote anything, and it hurts. I had thought with this site things would be different, and I would have some motivation to keep doing something, but, like always, life gets in the way. I just completed one course, and my last course has a final on Monday. Not to mention, Summer welcomes two classes and an Internship that will total to 240 hours. FUN! And it will be: I will finally get my chance to experience working at a Public Library.

Until then, I have been racking my brain for research. Do I start something new or continue with something old? If so, WHAT? The PCAS conference is coming up in the Fall, like every year, and I will go this time. It has been at least two or three years since I have gone. I hate it. The only question is what to do? Present research already one and get some feedback or do some more OUAT. I still have three essays to finish this line of research. I have to do some Motherhood, more ReginaxEmma comparison. I think it is really telling that Emma’s story ends in OUAT season 6 and Regina continues in Season 7.

So, what do you think, Regina and Motherhood or an Ecocritical look at the MCU’s Loki? Is anyone even reading this?

On a different note, this weekend I WILL be seeing Avengers: Endgame, so we will see where Loki’s journey truly ends. I think I owe him another essay from Ragnarok and Avengers: Infinity War. My last one went from Thor, Avengers, to Thor: ADW.

Ok, everyone! The site is completely ready and live! The source pages are done and a bit different. I tried to keep most of the stuff similar but with different topics. Like what type of this and that. My have my posts done, I think I am going to add another one here in a day or so about something Fairy Tale. I just feel the need.

I feel like I need to add both of these because I am not finished with neither and they are both pulling me in. These are important because they are the first shows in a while I am watching by myself. Usually, I watch stuff with a family member because we are all interested in (like I am the Night or Grey’s Anatomy). I think I may include a section of recommendations for each section.

I am adding more and more making me think that this site will never be finished. Which, while sounding bad, is good. I started doing this for a college course, but it has turned into something more. Of course, while it may help with research in the end when I finally decided to publish something, I don’t my fanfiction readers are going to appreciate it. It took me over a year to actually update this time, and it has been a few weeks since I wrote anything. Sad but true. I won’t be having lots of updates after Wednesday because my group is building a different website for a client for the big class project. It is going to be fun! I have gained a lot of experience doing this, so I hope it helps.

I am in the process of adding Source pages for the subjects/categories. These I think are good because not only do the give some type of background/direction but also may help others if they come looking to research. I may not officially be a teacher, but as a future librarian, I want to help as much as I can.

Tomorrow, I will be finishing up the final two source pages: Classic&Comic and Fairy Tales. If anyone is actually reading this, I have included two places you can find posts from each section. Directly under the menu for the Source section, I have included one page that will have ALL the posts if you want to binge read or individual ones. You do you.

I have added another post and added the four category: Classics & Comics. It is official. Enjoy the section that will have posts from where all this started. Or at least the where the papers started.

Now we are running around four: categories for posts Loki, Classics/Comics, Fairy Tales, and Other. They are going to have their own pages kind of like the resource one when I finish tomorrow. I also added a “Resource Breakdown” page that will help young scholars sort out research when it comes to popular culture: it is bare bones, so warning.

I have fully fleshed out the “Home” page, so it now contains a history and backstory to this website. It is personal, so please, be kind.

On a different note, I was wondering if anyone would want a section that takes about posters? Every conference I have presented in, I had visual aid. Just some pictures and posters. I haven’t done a powerpoint, but those are good. I did do one for a project that led to a Fairy Tale idea/paper…I might add those later.

Please forgive the progress as I spend the next few days updating the pages and expanding the website. My goal is to have minihome pages for the category posts and to do more with the home page. Please bare with me as I do this in pieces and learn how to operate wordpress in the process. For now, I am trying to do too many things at one time. Like try and figure out how to add a sidebar that shows category posts not all posts or recent posts. My goal here is to organize it all into sections that the posts belong to not just lump them all together. So, in essence, I am going to have the section pages have a sidebar that shows recent posts for that category. I will add a showcase to a page when I figure out what it is. I am thinking a sidebar on the updates page that shows recent blog posts in general (which is easy–its the specific category post sidebar that I am having trouble with)….Maybe archive them and see if I can do that with archive posts?

If anyone has any advice, please share!
