Friends, I cannot believe we’re at the end of another year &
produced a second yearbook volume. Time flies by much faster the
older we get—it’s somewhat bittersweet, but life goes on.
One of the reasons why I love doing the yearbook is to interact
with others and help see the sense of community of some of those
on the blogosphere, all hailing from different backgrounds but all
willing to go out and discuss thoughts or ideas, whether it’s
fangirling over a TV show (Stranger Things, anyone?) or getting
down to the nitty-gritty about problems found in contemporary YA
novels. There are so many ideas worth exploring and to find those
with the same interests of Internet dwelling, Hobbit-hole searching,
breakfast arguing, and excessive book and food photos on your
camera—admit this is real—is something special.
I don’t know how this next year is going to go. Some of us my leave
the blogosphere for good, others may stay—I for one, know while I
love doing the yearbook, I’m not sure if it’s going to happen last
year for numerous reasons. But instead of dwelling on what ifs, let’s
keep our heads up for everything good, shall we?

terrible puns, or taking photos with friends inside a photo booth.
2017: “I have learned you can always, always ask for help, even
from those individuals who appear incredibly scary. I’ve also
learned to talk to your mentors and teachers twenty-four seven,
because sometimes, the best life advice will come from them and
maybe realize while the age difference is there, they went through
the same stuff you did—the good, the bad, the hilarious and
somewhat awkward.”
2017: “One positive change this year is how much my walk with
Christ has changed. I’m older now, & my life constantly shifts, but
I’ve learned so much about Him it’s hard to think I was any other
way. He’s brought me close to Himself, showing me things about
His ways & His heart I’d never seen before. He’s revealing Himself
to me every day in everything, & I couldn’t be more thankful or
blessed.“

on the couch. I’m proud to say I am a part of several new

watching television for hours. I’ve returned to my regular reading
schedule, & am as content as I’ve ever been with my new routine.”

crazy hard path unless you know who you are at your core & what
you truly stand for. For me, I've found my identity in Jesus Christ.

staying rooted in what I know is right and who I know I am is the
only way to stay safe and happy in this life. “

in our own time.” -- c.r ryder

confidence. For the first time, I often have someone to turn to &
I’m confident in my social interactions. Is that a typical answer?

hear it so often? Likely. But it means something to me. And –
something else I’ve learnt this year – that’s enough. “

to & a trip I took to see them. I vowed I'd visit them before they
made another big move. I kept my promise & have a head full of
amazing memories that were made on my trip. Like dodging
puddles while holding tightly to a shared umbrella. Visiting too
many coffee shops to count, riding the underground T, and hugs
that you hold onto as you board the plane home.”

believer in good books for all. Despite being perfectly blunt, she
is very loud & energetic most of the time because she is a blonde
trapped in a brunette's body. Gray is part of the rare & strange
breed of extroverted writers, which is why it takes her forever
to finish a book, because she'd rather be out partying with her

rants at Writing is Life.

2017: “2017 was definitely a busy year! I started my blog, broke
my phone, left 6th grade and entered 7th! But I think I changed a
lot. I learned multiple lessons that I will never forget, and were
hard to get past. I made so many new friends, and lost so many
others. I think 2017 was like the intro, and this intro is telling me
that the rest of the story is going to be even harder!”

philosophical musings on her blog.
2017: “2017 was the year I woke up. Really. For two years I'd felt
like I lived in a dream sequence. I don't know what made me
believe in beauty again. Maybe it was great music, great books or
great places I visited. So I started a lifetime bucket list with more
of each of these things. Looking through a tunnel and seeing
sunnier fields on the other side ... that's a positive change,
definitely!”

2017: “For me blogging-wise 2017 has been a hard year. I have
spent a lot less time reading blogs & instead spent my time
watching YouTube and TV. Not only that but I haven't been
posting regularly and feel like I have rather neglected my blog in a
way. I still absolutely love my blog with all my heart but feel like for
me, and many others, YouTube has of taken over. I really want to
change this and hope I can find a fun way to do so!”

things she’s ready to try. She’s called Lisa. And she’d love to meet
you.
2017: “I’ve learned I’m some writer - & found teens with the
same interests. I’ve discovered a world of things I didn’t know
before we turned the corner to 2017. I could write pages about
all the things they’ve taught & what I’ve learned can be summed
up in these words: never say you can’t. This year, friends, I’ve
found one more piece of who I am.”

person. I definitely would not be the person I am today if I hadn't
started my blog this year.”
Mira Elizabeth // STEPPING INTO SUNSHINE
About: "Her soul was too deep to explore by those who always
swam in the shallow end.” -A.J. Lawless 2017
2017: “Never underestimate the little things. I helped put on a
free car wash with my youth group & an elderly woman in a car
whose hood was dingy pulled up. She asked if it was free & if there
was a suggested donation. I replied there was none & it’s an honor
to serve her. She raised it with a strangled cry of laughter and
tears. Later I learned that she had recently had surgery and could
find no one to help her wash her car, but that our free car wash
was the answer to her prayers. Simple acts of kindness might
seem like they don't mean anything, but they could change
someone's whole day for the better.”

2017: “My whole mindset on how I think of the world changed
quite a bit. When I was younger I thought things were unfair &
complained over things like chores, & would tell this opinion to
everything who would listen. Over this past year I realized a lot of
things are unfair, but I’m so lucky, & shouldn't complain about
small things. Instead, I should learn and maybe try to make a
difference so that I can help someone who's life really is unfair.”

sharing her never ending love for books.
2017: “2017 was a bittersweet year, but throughout the months, I
gathered one important lesson: never conform for anyone else.
You do your own thing, you manage your own life, but never
change because someone else wants you to. You are your own
person, your own individual, and you should act like it.”

and in doing so have really seen my own growth as a writer. I

writing blogs, and really tried to work on my craft. This is the
year I got serious about it, and I'm so glad I did.”

days with my family. I enjoyed exploring another amazing city & the
culture offered. It was a chill time where I didn't have to worry
much about anything. I got to goof around, be a tourist & buy a few
things. I also went to The Elephant House Cafe where JK Rowling
wrote some of Harry Potter. It is such a wonderful place except
for the unpredictability of the weather and I felt at peace there as if
nothing in the world could bother me.”

2017: “This year, I learned a lot about living in the moment. My
perfectionism was too much for me, & took up time that could
have been used to make memories. After praying, fighting and trying
to do it all myself, I finally gave it over to God. After just letting the
stress of things go and giving it all over to, I was able to make so
many more memories and have an epic summer.”

she can be found driving people places & exploring the strengths and
talents God gave her.
2017: “I learned to branch out & try new, scary things in the writing
world by learning the ropes of blogging and social media. I'm not
usually one for being super public. Do people really care about the
millionth picture of my cat? Probably not, but they do like knowing I
have a real life & that's important when making connections.
Learning to get comfortable in this discomfort zone has opened a lot
of doors I wouldn't otherwise have, so I'm proud I took the leap.”

About: Savannah Grace is a dreamer, a creator, and a believer in
the power of stories. She’s also a teenage Christian writer living in
Nebraska. Writing is her passion. Her gel pen may or may not be
permanently glued to her hand. When she isn’t buried in her story,
you can find her reading, daydreaming, & living life as best she can.
2017: I’ve learned more about storytelling, and just how powerful
– and hard! – it is. Writing is both incredibly tough and incredibly
rewarding – and in 2017, I think I’ve started to discover more of
that illusive “voice” that writers tend to have. I’ve started to love
my writing more. My novel, Killing Snow, is slowly being pieced
together as God teaches me more about what it means to be a
storyteller. I can’t wait to see where it goes from here!

throwing away the mask and just being me.”

year. Self-love is so important to being human but is often

and uplifting terms. Over 2017 I have put more focus on myself
and the outcome has been really amazing. I have learned more
about myself and grew a better relationship with myself.”

through the start of my very first blog. Although I started knowing
nothing, I’ve gradually learned from other bloggers, my dad, &
YouTube. It’s been a great experience, & everyone has been
supportive! The blogging community is amazing, & I’ve loved making
friends online. I feel like I’ve gotten more confident in putting my
work out there for all to see. And that’s definitely a good thing.”

“Slime, fidget spinners, and the Dancing Hot Dog.” • “Ummm. Instagram Live? I literally have no idea.” •
“The Floor is Lava challenge.” • “The first-ever head transplant scheduled at the end of 2017.” • “All I
can think of is mass crowds of humans staring at their phones playing Pokémon. Isn't that sad?!” • “The Beauty
and the Beast craze around the release of the new movie... I'm such a nerd.” • “Mocking SpongeBob
meme was a pretty defining meme.” • “The Women's March that I went to in January really has
impacted my life. When I think back to that event and how many people were there, I feel so
empowered and I realize that change can happen, and there are so many people advocating for
it.” • "Definitely fidget spinners! I still don't get the point, though. Sorry. I bet they'll be ancient history in a
couple years, just like Silly Bandz and Rainbow Looms. Anyone remember those?” • “Solar Eclipse!!” • “The
inauguration of President Donald Trump was a really big deal." • “iPhone X had everybody going crazy!” •
”Early 2017, Dabs. Which are dead, sorry to break it to you but DABS ARE DEAD.” • “The coming together
of a nation after unspeakable tragedies (hurricanes Irma and Harvey and the many shootings
around the nation). There are a lot of evil people in the world, but there are also good people who
want to make a positive difference.” • “The release of Ravenquill Press!”

This yearbook was assembled a lot by me, but there are a
ton of people and those I need to credit.
All album and book cover photos belong to their
respective authors & cover makers.
Photos used at the bottom of the “Define 2017” pages
were provided via Unsplash.
Thank you to Vanessa, Skye, and Autumn for all providing
background photos! Another big thank you and shout out
to the playlist listeners—Hanne, Olivia, McKenzie,
Mackenzie, Aliah, & Lexie. All of you are the best!
Until next year! (?)
