This last week, I've been focusing on trying to draw inspiration for my story out of the ordinary. This means out of everyday conversations and scenery, through hanging out with others, and through my own experiences. I've begun keeping a running journal of the things I experience and the things I see just so I can later draw on all...
This weekend, gifted with the four days due to a snowstorm, I focused on sitting down to write on of the most emotional scenes of my book which shows two characters finally opening up to one another. These are actually my favorite types of things to write because I like getting to see my characters connect on an emotional level,...
Over this past week, I have been working on my favorite series of chapter yet, because they focus on my two favorite characters. Because of their dynamic, a story that goes from enemies to friends, their relationship has a lot more layers than a lot of others do that I write about. It's fun writing their arguments, finding those traits...
A lot of my work for this past week has included focusing a lot more on trying to steadily develop the characters of my book. I've been trying to ensure that every event I write is meaningful to the story, and that my characters are growing and changing throughout as much as they need to. Focusing on the relationship between...
This week I focused a lot on looking back at what I have, and having some of my fellow peers read my book so far. I wanted to get some reactions, and had each person I had read it ask me questions so I could be sure there were not any plot holes in my writing thus far. I have...
One of the things I finally managed to get around to this weekend was creating my map for my book, which tells a story that takes place on an island. Coming up with so many cities and towns was not an easy job, and it took an hour and a half to complete it, making sure each had a story...
As I prepare for my final product, I realize it'll take a lot of time. I'll have to be writing a chapter every single day, Monday through Friday, until the day my final book is due. This far I've been keeping up with the work and doing a little bit of extra on the weekends. I've been reaching out to...
Over break, I had a lot of time to myself to focus on writing. I spent a lot of my time wondering whether or not I was going to be able to actually finish my book by the end of this school year but based on how much I got done in just a short period of time, I think...
I have loved writing ever since I was little for many reasons. Writing has helped me to find a home for myself, and has helped me to grow closer to other people. I write poems and songs not just for myself, but often for people who need them. Everything I write captures thousands of memories and moments into flowing words....
This week, I am going to turn in my first original work project, which consists of a finished and edited prologue, a plan of publication, and a few of my character profiles. I am super excited to be submitting this project, as it is something I have been working very hard on for the past couple of months. My story...
