This post comes a bit late in terms of my last ReWinds (2 days is pretty much like a life time in the blogging world), but I have been super busy and I had probably the scariest Monday ever today! Some, who follow me on Twitter, might have caught up on that interview that I had and since I don’t want to jinx it, I will bare no details about it before I will know the results (you’ll have to wait until Christmas, which is either going to be jolly or not). But enough chit-chat, let us ReWind Mettel Ray Movie Blog’s November and see what happened!
Numbers: 132,000+ all time views, 6869 views, 229 average per day, 14 posts
New Record: Unacceptable amount of posts this month, I should be ashamed
Summary: This month has been way too complicated for me in terms of school and overall life-planning: I basically flew to Estonia just last Wednesday to go to this interview that might be the best thing ever or will just end up being another experience that I have to cherish as a lesson learned through failure. But that is not in terms of the blog, the blog was slow for those reasons and because I wrote to The Artifice (though I have been not writing for a week now). All in all, too busy to do anything myself so I guess it was a great idea to start a blogathon! Smart move because people visit my site (they will have some new posts this week!) and I have a ton of alphabets to read as bedtime stories. And yes, there will be a big summary post but since the alphabets are still rolling in, I decided to postpone it to before Christmas – my schoolwork would be done by then! (Hopefully my news about the interview won’t affect this announcement).
What I was proud of: Getting 50+ followers, it’s a small step towards success.
What I was mad about: Can I be mad at the fact that I had too much school work this month?
What’s gonna happen in December: Who knows. Seriously, I am just an empty page right now. I have still deadlines breathing on my neck, I have my blogathon to wrap and I planned some TOP 10’s but it all depends on my mood which depends on the results of the interview. It’s a pickle guys, it’s a pickle.
Mission for next month: To just get myself to the next year baby, next year! Sounds a bit bad but it’s all I can think of right now.
This month’s highlight: The MOVIE ALPHABETS! Every single one of them is special, honestly, it doesn’t matter the skill level or if the choices are different from others, those alphabets show character and I like them all!
Movie of the month: Your Sister’s Sister (to be reviewed in December).
Here’s a short animation that I thought was creepy and yet amazing at the same time.

Great summary. Good luck with that interview. I joined The Artifice as well but I haven’t written anything for them yet :/
I have written 6 posts I guess.. and well that interview is over now, only the horrible waiting period awaits.
Well, hope you hear great news at the end of the month. About the Artifice, do you write content specifically for them? Or just post some of the same stuff you do for your own blog?
Different content, here I try to keep it review based. There it is mostly short and fun articles but also maybe, if I have the inspiration, essays.
Oh cool. I should write something for them one of these days 😉
Definitely! I’m already hooked on collecting points and badges but sadly I just don’t have the time this week.
I hope the interview went well! I’m sure the news will be good. Looking forward to your review of Your Sister’s sister, still didn’t get a chance to see this one.
I will probably write it for next week or so. I have a long list of reviews to go through.
But I don’t even wanna think of the interview anymore. 😀
It may be late, but I didn’t have the time to visit until now so all is good. Congrats on a very successful blogathon; and I hope this month is less stressful for you than the last.
Well the beginning is far from stressful but I hope to manage.
