Been A While, I Know

Image
Hi guys! It’s your gal, Mel, back here after a long three months of going dark. And I won’t beat around the bush any longer; let’s get a few things out of the way, starting with— 1. It’s My Birthday! Yep, it’s true! 14th January 2023, and I turn… fourteen years old. It’s an official age reveal. I, Melody Vega, am a teenager, who writes your favourite stories. No kidding. For my birthday, I tried a new art medium: sneakers! I painted (and gifted myself 😝) my own custom kicks, and here is a Deviation explaining the whole deal. It was a fun experience, and hopefully you'll be inspired to paint your own kicks! (And a happy birthday to me, too. 🥳) 2. Sweep The Old, Adorn The New As usual, I gave the blog a makeover too; not only with the colour theme and font, but I also cleaned up the sidebars and got rid of old links. Let’s ring in the New Year with this one! 3. An Important Announcement I’m pretty sure everyone’s wondering: why did I not post anything here after September? What’s ...

5K Views Special!

Alright, alright, you guys might be thinking I’m making a joke. Two months ago, 4K. Now 5K? Yes! You read right, ‘cause I’m serious. Thank you for all the love and support, because it means a  lot. Now, I’m not sure what updates to make, because it hasn’t even been six months since I last changed stuff on my blog, but let’s look at some exciting things! 1. Now That’s Fresh I’m not changing the view of my blog so quick, but I was planning to try something new: themed views! It’ll go like this: every time the season changes, the background and colours of my blog will also change, and maybe even the layout too! The same goes for festivals and holidays. That’ll give you guys something new to see every day. 2. Melody Vega, The Artist Now, if you guys don’t know, I’ve started illustrating too. I’ve been practicing on my own, and I'm not taking any special courses or something. And where  can  you see them? For those who don’t already know, check out my  DeviantArt  pr...

My First Publication

Image
Hello guys! Today, I'd like to announce that one of my pieces has been published in the Teen Tribune. This happened on 20th March, 2022. I am very, very ecstatic, as this is my first publication. Special thanks to the Teen Tribune for this auspicious occasion. And last but not the least, the support of you guys has motivated me to write more and keep going. To read the article, click here  and head to page 16. A screenshot of the article is also included below: Like usual, stay tuned for more posts! Signed, Melody Vega

4K Views Special!

Wahoo! 4000+ overall views. That’s huge. Huge for me, at least. You guys won’t believe how  happy  I am. And what’s more was that some 5 months ago, we had hit 3K, and six months before that, we had hit 2K! What a succession, and I thank you all for all the love that you have given to this blog. It means more than I could ever tell you. Now, to business! You might know the general updates already, but let me give you the play-by-play on them. Starting with: 1. New Look I’ll be switching the theme of my blog, so that it stands out more and emphasises everything on it. The colour scheme is lilac, as usual, and this time with a black accent. I hope this makes your reading more comfortable! 2. New Add-Ons So, if you guys had recently noticed, I had added 3 new labels and a new group to the sidebar. The new group, ‘My Series’, consists of web pages created on Adobe that summarise my books, tell more about the characters, and even give the background on what inspired the particular ...

3K Views Special!

Hi everyone! Well, I guess you all know what this post is about after noticing the title. And yes, this is no joke, that just two months ago,  this blog had 2000+ views,  and now, it's hit the mark of 3000+! Thank you all so much for the love for the stories, and I do hope you got lost in the 53 posts of heaven for middle schoolers. It was great to know that you enjoyed them! So, like always, what's new? 3K's big, so we gotta have changes! 1. New Colour Scheme Seeing that y'all loved the new format, I'm keeping it for now, but don't you think there should be a change of hues? Well, now, we go to the new scheme of lilac and subtle white, to add to the aesthetic look and feel. I suppose I have a main palette in mind now! 2. Scratching It Up I discovered I had a love for two other things than writing: music and coding! If you guys don't know, I've been practicing piano for more than 6 years now, starting from second grade. I still play! And I now have a new...

2K Views Special!

Hey everyone! Yes, the above title isn’t kidding you. This blog has gotten more than  2000  overall views since it launched in August 2020! Thank you so much for all of the love you have given to the blog and for enjoying my stories every step of the way. I gotta say, this is  huge! So, like always, with a special post comes special stuff. Here it is: 1. New Look You  have  seen my blog change themes. Sometimes it’s for a festival, sometimes it’s just to break the monotony of the colour. And this time, it’s no different, of course. But I’m going to make this new theme special. So, there will be a complete colour scheme and layout change, all while keeping eye health in mind.  I’m also adding some new groups on the sidebar, especially a ‘Behind the Pages’ group, with some links and other new things to show you what was the inspiration behind my books, and you can explore further!  2. Open-Mic Stand I love getting new ideas from other people, and they ex...

The Name Change...

 Hi everyone, so I'm coming back again after a long time! Also, I would like to take the opportunity to tell you that I'm hereby shortening my name, Melody Venerie Vega, to Melody Vega. Any sign-off will hereby be posted with this name. Thank you! Also, I will be delaying the release of the 6th book of Surviving Sixth Grade, due to all the stuff you know of. So, the book may release by the end of April or somewhen in May. Signed (newly), Melody Vega
