Hi everyone! I'm here today for a short and unexpected post, but I feel that it's necessary you read it if you are a frequent reader because this would change the experience here on Writer's Digest a little bit. Lately I've been considering (and it was pointed out to me) that my web address, www.writersdigestbyolivia.weebly.com, is long. And when it's long, you don't want to type it in. Or you type in one letter wrong and end up with the-- That's actually a screenshot of the computer I'm working on now. I really did type in my web address with one letter missing- and this is what came up. So I feel like I need to change my blog name. On the last post, I had a survey and found out that the feeling is shared- a few other people also mentioned they think I should change it. You can take that survey by clicking here. But I don't want it to be the sort of thing I do overnight, because a site address that is going to change the name of the blog deserves lots of thought until the perfect name is found. Side note: I want the new name to be centered around books, reading, that sort of thing, because Writer's Digest makes me feel pressured to only post about writing, and that's not what I always want to do. Occasionally, yes I do love to read your writing or give tips, but it should be something I want to do, not something I do because I feel like I have to. I also want the name to be simple and relatively short, as one of the main points is that my current name is too difficult to type in. Unfortunately I cannot take off the .weebly.com part at the end, since I don't own a "domain," which would allow me to end my address with a .com. The reason why I'm having this long and incredibly serious rant (no exclamation points? seriously Olivia?) is because I want your input. You are the ones who read my blog! The name should be something you enjoy, think fits the posts, want to type in, something you tell your friends about. If you have any suggestions I would love to hear from in the comments. Actually I would love to hear from you even if you don't have a suggestion, because anything you can say at this point will help. Thanks for reading and understanding where I'm coming from (if you do).

Hola amigas! Today we are welcoming in yet another month. Seriously, what's with 2016. I feel like every time I do a post to welcome in a new month, I say something along of the lines of "it can't be!" But yes Olivia, it is. If you recall (if you've been with me that long) I took a much needed hiatus last April due to a choir musical, dance recital, state testing and things like that that all seem to pile up at the moment teachers realize that yes, the school year is almost over, so yes, you have to do all the work and finish it. So anyway, forgive me if I'm kind of behind on the posts this month. I'm BUSY BUSY BUSY and sadly my blog cannot be my first priority. But I'll definitely be trying to squeeze out enough posts to satisfy all you readers out there. Oh yeah...speaking of readers I MISS YOU GUYS! I got some good comments (Thanks Brooke! Anna! Carter!) But I still miss you guys and sometimes when I don't get comments I feel very discouraged... Here's a slideshow showing all of the posts I did this month- you can click on the image to take you to the post! (ISN'T THAT SO COOL??) Among the exciting posts this month were The Pros of eBooks, Rapid Fire Reviews, Frozen Book Vs. Movie, Ode to Superman, My Bookshelf Tour, and Writing With Books. I encourage you to check them out (it's so easy! just click the picture!) if you haven't, or for a second glimpse! In my last welcoming post, I had a survey for what you guys wanted to see- and I tried my best to fit in everything. It didn't exactly work.
We're going to do a survey again- except this one is a little different. Please take the survey if you have time! It's really really really helpful to me when I am deciding things about my posts and blog. THANKS I APPRECIATE IT! I would also appreciate it if you comment and tell me what did you think of March's posts? What do you want to see me do, etc? See ya later!
