REVIEW - 5:48 (by Chloe Cheng)

This book has been on my mind pretty much since the day I've picked it, it's been tucked away in my mind pretty much every second, of every minute of every day. I cannot get enough of Chloe Cheng's writing. This story has been been the beginning, it's opened my eyes up wider than I thought imaginable, she's really opened my eyes up to my own depression and exactly how it affects me. And even to the extent of how I affect others, which even though you think about you don't actually realise is quite damaging. It's definitely not a story for the weak hearted, or weak minded.

I definitely feel like you need a back bone, to be able to get through the emotional journey that this story will take you on. And don't be afraid to open up, there is so much more out there.

Without a doubt this has to be one of my favourite books of the moment, I would highly recommend it to any person who wants a decent read. It's incredible, and it does really open your eyes to an entire new way of life. Which for some people could be really useful, as they don't really see the behind the scenes of some people's anxieties or depression. Or any form of mental health, it would be empowering for people to read it for that very reason.

I would have to rate this story a solid - 5 / 5

If you would like to read this story, I would recommend you visit her story on the Wattpad website. This is the link right here: https://www.wattpad.com/8540657-5-48-re-writing-extended-summary

NEW PROJECT: In Between

What would you all do if I told you I had a secret project on the go, and the only hint you get is the cover? To be fair I say the cover but I'll probably change it about a hundred times before I'm happy with it. I have been working on a new kind of story, which I'm quite in love with in the moment, it's a nice between happiness and hell.

I've already started delving into the story and am planning to write roughly 1000 words a day, more if I can. Wish me luck, and depending on how it goes I'll look into uploading it to Wattpad as soon as possible. Well, maybe.

Would you like to see the cover?

Well, here it is:

Trying Again

I have been working on another blog recently and I have finally got in to a place where I am comfortable to do it again, and don't feel completely pressured into doing it. I have been focusing mainly on that blog, and journalling again, which is a refreshing turn of events. However, this blog has been catching my eye more often than not, which is probably why I am working on this post now. I just want to get back into writing, bringing my stories back to life and what better way to do that, than to start blogging and planning again?

I know it's going to take a lot of time, and I have to be patient, but I want to do this and it's that determination that is keeping me going at the moment. I would love to get back on Wattpad as well, but I'm thinking one step at a time. I want to share my writing, but before I do that I have to write it. Which, couldn't be more obvious but at the same time it's true. I have to start again, and really commit. Whereas, before I honestly didn't commit.

I shall show you my other blog as well, I'll make sure to leave a link at the bottom of this blog post, I would also like to know. Do you any of you ever suffer from a strong sense of writer's block? Because it has definitely been an incredibly difficult thing to get over, it's like the blockage in my brain wouldn't shift, not even for a second. I haven't even been able to commit to reading, but I think a little of that has something to do with my depression, which I usually can handle pretty well. But as of lately, it's been controlling my life - more so than I care to admit to. I would love to see if any of you have to tackle depression as well. Do you have any advice?

I always reading articles and blog posts, searching for some answers.  I am taking anti-depressants as well but I'm still in the early stages of it and have a long way to go before it'll be making much different. Although, I must be having some good effects from it, as I am writing again. It's not the main type of writing I want to be doing, but however it is a start. Which I can only hope will develop into more.

I'll be doing my best to update this blog more, though I can't promise it'll be extremely regular as I haven't much content to offer for the moment. But as I get more and more into writing, I shall slowly start sharing ideas and artwork with you and also just showing you my process of writing. And anything else I have to offer.

I am so glad to be back, what do we think of the new image as well?

Do we like?

See you soon,
