the authoress



good day, mates! i'm Anika, but I go by Joy or Ani as well.

basically, i'm a writer. i like to spend my days hunched over manuscripts and fussing over worlds that don't even exist.

and i'm a follower of Jesus Christ.

oh, yes, i also love to sing. yes, yes i do have a ginormous fear of stages. but i like a good challenge, especially ones that include me forcing myself to do something.

and i'm a blogger. you probably didn't notice.

and an aspiring photographer.

and (wow, there really is no end) i'm an aspiring web designer!

on the more physical side of things, i like riding bike and practicing self-defense (more often known as punching my brother).

and last, but certainly not least, i'm a 13-year-old in 8th grade (also known as the amazing Senior year of middle school! yes, that is in fact a real thing.)

    Hey, Anika! Your blog design is so beautiful gah! I've been slowly learning how to make blog designs as well as I branch out my blogging a bit...can I ask what programs you use to create them?

    I've heard good things about Bootstrap, but I'm honestly so new to all of it that I have no clue where to start :D

      Hi, Madison!
      Aww, thank you!!! That's great! I love it when people learn how to make their own designs - it's a sign of independence to me. :D

      I use many programs, but for all my images I use Picmonkey.com. I get the clipart and coding from all over the web for free. I usually search for tutorials for the coding.
