I haven't slept and I'm filled with rage. I hate that stupid green owl. Heres some resources for beginner language learners
1. Install anki. It's a flash card program that uses spaced repetition. Essentially, it optimizes study by showing cards you struggle with more frequently while showing easy cards less frequently. It's amazing for learning vocab. It's web and computer versions are free, the iphone version costs 25$ but there are alternatives. There is also an android version made by a 3rd party thats free.
2. Find a deck. There are plenty of free shared decks on ankiweb. Ive also heard good things about Xefjord's Complete Language Series which features over 100 different languages. Refolds premium decks cost money, but they are high quality. It can take time to find a deck that works best for you and I highly reccomend switching to a deck that you made yourself eventually. I highly encourage picking a deck with native audio if you can.
3. Grammar. Here is a collection of resources for a variety of languages. Here is another one that has more on linguistics.
4. Misc resources.
this is a site that let's you listen to radio stations around the world
this let's you make anki cards from TV and movies in your target language
this is a list of easy to comprehend materials in various languages
There's tons of great language specific resources out there you just have to find them. Here's one specifically for Japanese learners.

What they don’t tell you about storytelling is that it becomes an instinct over time. You learn how to kind of … intuitively chain events together over time. That doesn’t mean it’s a cakewalk, or that you never get stuck on plotbeats, but you have a better time walking yourself out of corners that you as a less experienced writer would have been tempted to abandon your story over. Because you’ve been stuck in similar corners before; you know how you get out now.
I know its frustrating to keep hitting dead ends, but you got this. You’ll learn a little from every roadblock you hit.

warm baked goods are insane. something so beautiful and almost maddening about absolutely tearing into them when they’re fresh. feeling warm all over after. I really do get vampires for real

The older I get, the more annoyed I am by Bella going on and on and on and on and on about how getting older seems like absolute fucking hell to her and there's nothing worse than not being 17 forever, and in general the way every single vampire is described to be forever young and baby faced essentially because EWWW wrinkles, EWWW imperfection, EWWW being old, like the whole saga is an ode to ageism

re: Bella's blood type, searched the PDFs of the books.
Midnight Sun says O Positive (1 time) Breaking Dawn suggests O Negative (3 times)
Didn't find a reference to it in New Moon or Eclipse, but happy to stand corrected if anyone else can point to one!
And the outtake explicitly says it's O Negative, pointing out that of course Bella would have the hardest blood to supply. But it's only an outtake so not canon.
I think the intention was that she was O Negative because it's very Bella to a) be the type that can't receive any other kind of blood and b) to be the universal donor--Bella the martyr and all that.
My guess is SM misremembered which of the O blood types was the universal donor one and got it wrong in Midnight Sun, although I guess it could be a retcon. Don't know why she'd bother to retcon it, though. What purpose would it serve?

Regardless of how slow you go, or how many set backs or relapses you have, your recovery is still valid and your progress still counts.
