2012 in Review: Part 1

This is our 2012 in review - in pictures and links to blog posts.

JANUARY

We made some New Year's resolutions that are now kind of hilarious in hindsight- particularly Krispy's resolution to "get off the fatty-train." As her Sister says, "The fatty train never stopped rollin'!"

Krispy finally explained her favorite fake-word: schneizeleffort.

Alz releases manatees upon the unsuspecting blogosphere.

FEBRUARY

Krispy did an impromptu blog hop hosted by Juliana Brandt that challenged participants to write a scene using only dialogue & in Twitter format. Krispy won too!

Krispy saw THE WANTED at the El Rey, the theater where her sister works.

MARCH

We developed a CHOOSE YOUR OWN DYSTOPIA/ DYSTOPIAN WORLD-BUILDER and we came up with...

THE LAST MANATEE

Krispy attended a friend's birthday slumber party. Yep, we're mature.

APRIL

Alz wrote a Prologue for THE LAST MANATEE.

Krispy hardcore reviewed the Hunger Games movie with positives and negatives.

Alz, Krispy, and Sophia met a bunch of YA authors at the Spring into the Future book tour!

MAY

We celebrated Asian American/ Pacific Islander Heritage Month, which included a featured AAPI artist and a guest post from Caroline!

Also, we freaked out over The Avengers!
Leading up to the movie, we could only say, ASSEMBLE FASTER!

Oh, and Krispy and her sister adopted LOKI!



JUNE

Krispy and her sister went to Disneyland a lot.

Krispy reflected on one of her literary idols, the incomparable Ray Bradbury.

The Sister graduated from UCLA!

We reviewed our first 5 star book of 2012: SERAPHINA

Alz talked about Collaborative Novels, and we revealed a little about our own collaborative WIP when we talked storyboards & Pinterest.

JULY

Krispy and her sister taught Loki to swim.

The Sister recommended some summer music.


Alz bravely delved into 50 SHADES OF GREY & it produced some of the BEST DOODLES EVER.

We talked shop with a Worldbuilding Wednesday!

Krispy and her sister went on the first of many Las Vegas trips this year.

PART 2 of 2012 in Review next week!
