Calendar!

So remember how I had some of my artwork above the desk? Well, there wasn't enough adhesive in the world to keep those attached to the wall without poking holes. I decided for a lighter approach. Here's the project you've been dying to see with washi tape!

The Hit App

Hi! Today I would like to share with you an app that I think is pretty darn cool. It's called The Hit. It's part app, part novel. I've read all of the parts and I love how it shows each character's perspective regarding "the hit". You can read the first part here, to see what I mean. This is a fabulous app and I recommend downloading it today!

More about the app (from iTunes): 
Kyle arrives in his new home in a new city to start his new life. The quiet neighborhood his long-distance realtor promised him turns out to be anything but peaceful. His neighbors are unbearably noisy and intrusive. Pushed beyond what a reasonable person should have to accept, Kyle begins to think the unthinkable. He makes a decision that changes the course of four lives, including his own.
The Hit tells Kyle’s story from four different perspectives. While each character’s story is complete, they build on one another and are meant to be read in order. You will read first about Kyle’s struggles with his new life and neighbors and what he decides to do about them. Then, if you wish, you may read about the neighbors and other interesting characters.

When you are finished, you will have met Kyle, Franny, Precious, and Gip. You will know them in a way that is quite different than how characters are revealed in a more traditional novella.

Once you finish reading a story, you will be able to purchase and unlock the next one. As you read it, you can switch back to a story you’ve already finished and jump to the point that matches what you are reading now. Bones indicate matching scenes. After you read all four stories, you can move between any of them and explore the different way each character views the same events.
