Thank & link to the blogger how tagged you,
Answer the 11 questions,
Nominate (11) bloggers, and ask them 11 questions.


What do you miss about your childhood?

This is a good question. I think it would the being young and free. There was not a care in the world. We were oblivious to all the problems around us. That is what I miss.

Lots of friends or a few good friends? 

Only a few good friends. I'm not all that good at making then keeping friends. I mean, people want to be my friend. But I try and keep it to a small amount, I like it that way.

Winter evenings or Summer mornings? 

Summer morning. Cause it is still crisp. But you can walk outside in the fresh air.

Coast or inland? 

I have always liked the coast for some reason. 

Where and what would your dream house be like? 

I would have a big woods out the back. A pine wood. I would want it to be old, with a basement and an attic. And a room with bookshelves on the walls. And secret trap doors....

Do you tend to organise or leave mess? 

My desk at my course is very organized. My room will get really messy. But that is cause I don't have time half the time in order to clean. But I love having things in place.

What sort of music do you like? 

I am not sure what the genre is called. But things like Of Monsters and Men, Daughter, Lorde, Broods, and piano pieces. 

Do you have any pets? 

We have a cat. But she is not mine. 

Do you live in the country or city?

In the country.  

Do you play an instrument? If so, what? 

I play the piano! :) I need to do some more practice. Cause I haven't played in a while. 

Would you like to visit New Zealand someday? 

I am born and bred in New Zealand. But I can still answer this question. I would like to go to the south island. I have not been there yet.

My Questions:

Favorite color?
Favorite sound?
How long have you been blogging?
Do you have lots of stuff on your bedroom wall? Or do you like it clear?
What is your comfort food?
If your life was being made into a movie, who would you cast to play you?
What kind of computer do you use?

Cry Room Scene || Snippet

Hey Readers. 
I have been wanting to share this with you for a while. A week or two ago when my laptop was not working, I had been getting a rush of ideas for my story. I was using my tablet to go through my stories pinterest board. And I came upon a picture I had pinned a while back. Of a door, with the words "cry room" So I decided to write a scene for this picture. And I posted it to my Instergram, then to my Facebook. And Instantly I got loads of wonderful feed back from people. So here is the scene from How to be Invisible and Rule the World. 


He places his arm over my shoulder to support me. My legs are not strong enough. We are laughing. Our voices carrying down the cold empty halls of this particular ward. At some point we are going to get told off. Though I don't know why someone would be told off for laughing in a hospital. I see it as very therapeutic. My feet are cold against the hard flooring, and I can hear our footsteps. It makes me think of things. Memories come in unclear, confusing flashbacks.
I notice a door all of a sudden. Many of the doors have formal names, and numbers. But this one simply says 'cry room.' Gabe notices it too. I try the handle. And It opens. There is nothing but silence coming from inside. "Shhh" I say smiling at him. We step through and sit down on the seats lined against one of the walls. The silence is so loud, it starts to hurt my head. It's dark, but I can make out the lonely walls, and other chairs. That is when I realized I have said nothing. He is looking into space. I lean my head against his shoulder, a tear rolls down my face, then another. The I am crying. And he is holding me. I'm crying for everything I destroyed. -By Rachel Day

Book Review || My Heart and Other Black Holes

Hey readers.

I'm here with you today, with a book review. I just finished reading, My Heart and Other Black Holes by Jasmine Warga And it was.... amazing. This might be a long review/talk. I just have a lot to say about this book.

This book has been on my TBR for a long time. I think I heard about it through GoodReads. But I'm not %100 sure where I heard of it. But once I read the synopsis, I had been on the edge of my seat to read it.



GoodReads description of it:  Sixteen-year-old physics nerd Aysel is obsessed with plotting her own death. With a mother who can barely look at her without wincing, classmates who whisper behind her back, and a father whose violent crime rocked her small town, Aysel is ready to turn her potential energy into nothingness.

There’s only one problem: she’s not sure she has the courage to do it alone. But once she discovers a website with a section called Suicide Partners, Aysel’s convinced she’s found her solution: a teen boy with the username FrozenRobot (aka Roman) who’s haunted by a family tragedy is looking for a partner. 

Even though Aysel and Roman have nothing in common, they slowly start to fill in each other’s broken lives. But as their suicide pact becomes more concrete, Aysel begins to question whether she really wants to go through with it. Ultimately, she must choose between wanting to die or trying to convince Roman to live so they can discover the potential of their energy together. Except that Roman may not be so easy to convince.

Playlist || How to be Invisible and Rule the World

Hey there Readers

Inspiration to write came to me this afternoon. After I almost gave up on writing my story the other day. I wanted to cry in frustration as I looked at the flat voice of my character sitting on the page before me. But I always make it back. Even when I feel I have lost all hope. All thanks to music.

Today I would like to share the songs that almost tell the story. These songs are a deep look into the characters, the plot, and over all reason of the story.


This song, as I have said before. Is practically how Inga feels. This song is so deep. And I love it so much. I just love it when a song will give a character voice.  

I’m wasted, losing time
I’m a foolish, fragile spine 
I want all that is not mine 
I want him but we’re not right


She is unhappy with her body. With her life. She is foolish in her action, in her time. Even when she is broken. She wants everything that is not hers. She feels she doesn't deserve anything. And she wan's him. But she knows that she will destroy him. (sorry that was deeeep)

Personal Blog || Journey Through my Deep

Hey Readers. 

I created this blog well before I started this one. But it was kind of just sitting there. It was kind of meant to be a journal. So I thought I would use it as that. It's kind of personal. Very deep. But I thought I might share it on here if any of you want to read it. I'm still in the state of constructing it. So sorry for the horrible formatting. 

This is still my main blog. And everything will still be posted here. I'm sorry for the lack of posting. An new post will be coming in a few days. (This blog is my BABY!) 

http://rachymilly.blogspot.co.nz/
That is all. Hope you all liked my last post about Inga.  I have been doing some writing. But I laptop is currently down... I'm not happy about that. So I have to use our Home PC. But that is hard to get on with so many people using it. Follow me on Instergram @Queenie_Rachy (think that is my user name...)

Love you all.

Inga Wandering || Interview and Profile

Hey Readers.

Time to meet one of my main characters, Inga Wandering from How to be Invisible and Rule the World. I thought I would just give them to you one by one.

smile animated GIF

Inga Wandering (Name means daughter of a warrior...)
Age: 16
Myers Briggs: INFJ
Personality: Quiet, reserved, sweet, and daring. 
Hobbies: Long boarding, poetry, cello, and geography. 
Distinguishing features: Her eyes, cause they tend to change colour. 
Physical appearance: Average height, fragile looking body. Dark hair that comes over her shoulder.   


Inga is one of my Main Characters. If I could say one thing about her, it would be that she is scared. Her heart is so guarded. But she has so much love to share... She is the trouble hider. She want's to hide herself from the world. She want's to hide all her problems. 

Here is a small interview with Inga. (Her name means daughter of a warrior...)


So Inga. Let's get this on a roll shall we...

Inga: *Sits down with arms folded.* This shouldn't take long should it?

No it shouldn't. I'm just going to ask you some questions.

Yes, yes. I know the drill.

I know you do. That's the whole point. First question. A movie you hate?

Easy. It would be the Note Book. 

It's not on my top list either. Why don't you like it?

It's not real. It's creating a fantasy in the minds of people of what love should look like. But it will never be like that. But the real reason why I hated it is, it broke my heart, and I will never be able to forgive it for that. 

Interesting observation. Next question. What is one thing that you want to do and not regret?

*Nervous laughter* I do nothing I'll regret.  

Your best friend, Cara. How did you meet her?

She started dating my cousin Danny. So we became friends fast. She kind of became one of us... she was able to handle it with passion.

That's cool. So, what about Gabriel?

Ha, I would rather not talk about him... He's crazy. 

Alrighty. I will take that as an answer. Thanks for answering the questions. 

Not problem...

That is Inga for you. Sorry it was not a very intersting Interview. There will be more at some point.

Five Facts about me: 

I will often narrate my life to myself in past tense. I don't know why... I just do. 

Pinterest is my FAVORITE social media platform. And I now have over 100 followers. (Follow me! I promise you will not be disappointed) I have just recently created some new boards, so check those out. (Link to my pinterest is on my side bar) 

I'm growing my hair out very long. It is now covering my chest. But my hair is very curly. So it's longer when it's straightened. #HairGoals
