The Fulton School
This week, I was a bit unorganized, but I still got some stuff done!
The two major things I did this week was work on art/drawing classes through Blueprint, and work on finishing a short story I’ve been working on for a few months
Unfortunately, life doesn’t like to stick to a schedule. Twice this week, my entire morning study time went totally out the window because of the dog bolting out the door and running as far as she could. One of those times she decided to run across the highway. Dad caught her and she’s safe, but that was stressful. We’re being more careful when we open the door now.
I did manage to get some done, though. The two drawing classes I’m working on right now are an Anatomy class and a class on concept art. I’ve found them both to be very helpful and I hope to keep improving my drawing skills.
For reading this week, I didn’t get much done, but I started the next book of the Trials of Apollo series by Rick Riordan, The Tyrant’s Tomb. I’ve always loved the Percy Jackson series, so I am enjoying this book a lot.
For anyone who’s interested in the short story I’ve been working on, here’s a link that should give you access to the google doc. I’m pretty proud to have finished it. It’s not actually very short though, so be warned, it’s actually 9,000 words. https://docs.google.com/document/d/11sYiWx0Sw6UaK78zzaVWqK17qEQrdaK2GA-hEgLTZ6o/edit?usp=sharing
I am also planning to make another major change to my senior project: I’ve decided I’m going to put all of my art and writing time together to work on a comic! I’ve wanted to make one for a while, so I’m going to use the classes to help my drawing improve and do concept art, and my art project time to work on the comic. It will be a webcomic, so when I find a platform to share it on I’ll give that to you all.
I’ll update you all on how the prep for the comic is going next week!

I’m super excited that you finished The Wanderer! Can’t wait to read it. I’m looking forward to see your comic in the future as well.
(I’m sorry the dog ran out and disrupted your study time. That must be terrifying.)
Do you recommend finishing the Percy Jackson series before starting The Hidden Oracle: The Trials of Apollo?
I would recommend that. I’m honestly not sure how well you could read them on their own. I think you could, but it would be harder to understand and you would miss a lot. Also, the Percy Jackson series is amazing and totally worth the read! And all the books are at a easy reading level so they go faster than they expect (even though the second series gets long) (Magnus Chase is personally my favorite Riordan series though)
