What am I Doing? A Project Update

I haven’t updated on my projects for a while so I thought I would give you an overview of what is going on.
I am currently actively working on two book projects: Bangtan Borahae and the “Musical Baby Names” book that really doesn’t have a real working title.
The Music Baby book is still in the research stage. I have been going over the music charts since the early 1900s. (That's not how long I have been looking at them but how far back I have researched.) It’s a little tedious but it is a lot of fun to listen to music that I otherwise would probably never have come across. It’s very interesting and enlightening especially for a music lover like me. I’m simultaneously collecting information regarding state rules and guidelines for naming a baby. I am really looking for personal stories to add. If your name is related to music somehow, maybe you were named after a song or musician, please stop by the project forum on my website and leave your story.
Bangtan Borahae is meant to be a love letter of sorts to BTS. The idea came from a video I watched where the guys were talking about how they wish they knew what individual ARMYS were doing in their lives. Although this book will only represent a sprinkle in the ocean of fans I feel moved to write it. I have most of the skeleton finished, however, I really need a lot more input from BTS lovers. I have a survey to collect research that I will incorporate into the book. Please share this link to collect information and thoughts from a diverse audience of BTS fans.
On a personal note, I seem to have finally kicked my addiction to TV. It is a time sucker and dangerous for a natural procrastinator like me. My passion for these projects has taken over and I have been consumed by my need to complete them. It is a little unbelievable because a lot of shows I had previously watched have started new seasons. I am not pressed at all. I have more projects down the pipeline and I want to get to them.
Please comment if you have any thoughts or questions for me. You can also use the contact form.
So cool! I’m looking forward to reading both of these 💛
