5 Female YA Authors that Stole 2014

1. Melissa de la Cruz: She managed to Stolen, the sequel to Frozen, the Blue Bloods story Vampires of Manhattan (that I might just have to check out), and The Ring and the Crown in 2014. That's quite impressive that she came out with all three books in just one year and from what I've read she's working on many other projects also.

2. Sara Shepard: She's the author of Pretty Little Liars and just this year published the last book in the series along with beginning two new series this year as well, The Heiresses and The Perfectionists. Both have TV options. How awesome is that?

3. Maggie Stiefvater: She just came out with the latest book in her Wolves of Mercy Falls series, Sinner and released her newest installment of The Raven Cycle, Blue Lily, Blue Lily. She spent most of her free time touring this year for her devoted fan base.

4. Marissa Meyer: Her newest book, Cress, was released this year and was just as wonderful as the other two books in The Lunar Chronicles. Everyone is abuzz about the bonus book she'll be releasing called Fairest. Not to mention the excitement of the last book in the Chronicles that will be out next year named Winter and will be a futuristic science fiction retelling of the Snow White story.

5.Cassandra Clare: (Now I haven't read any of her books but I did see the Mortal Instruments movie which is cheating but it was still very good.) But anyways she has a dozen or so books lined up all the way to 2017 along with partnering with a few other authors to make The Bane Chronicles. She also worked with Holly Black to create The Iron Trial which released this year and then there is also that highly anticipated sixth book to the City of Heavenly Fire Series. Cassandra Clare also signed up with Hyekyung Baek, an illustrator, to make a manga version of the Clockwork Princess.

If those lovely ladies aren't inspiring I don't know what is. Just writing about them makes me want to go into overdrive and get like five books published in a year.

What do you think of these author's books and their amazing year of 2014?

These movies were a disgrace to the books buuut I needed a gif so here you go haha How is this even a question? ;) Camp Halfblood of course! I adore the Percy Jackson series, so I would do just about anything to be a halfblood for the Summer. The real question is, who would my parent be?? My enneagram four side who loves being special and different wants me to be a kid of one of the big three... maybe Hades just to make myself extra special and unique from everyone else ;) But m...

How to Revise like a Pantser ft. Big Hero 6 Gifs

Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope you've had a great week so far and that you have a great Easter weekend ahead! We plan on going to my grandparent's on Friday to celebrate Easter with family and spending the night there so that'll be a fun time. :) Alright, so I contemplated doing an Easter-y post on here but I wasn't even sure what that would look like... So instead, I thought I'd do something fun and happy in honor of the celebration of Easter on Sunday. Without further ado, here is your Big Hero 6 gif filled revising process from a real life pantser: The end of your first draft is in sight! You type like crazy, stay up past your normal bedtime until it is finished. When you type The End, the satisfaction that you actually did this thing sets in. Guys, it is the sweetest feeling ever. Knowing you worked so hard to complete this draft and came out on the other side. Unscathed? Perhaps not. But triumphant? Definitely! That first draft is a total disast...

Best Resources for Writers

Happy Wednesday once more everyone! So recently I've been doing a lot of craft-learning and have discovered some pretty awesome resources that have been so helpful to me. I'm also contemplating trying my hand at a How To guide for writers. I've already written a How to Write a Serial book and it just needs to be touched up. I think I might make it one of my freebies for my newsletter. So then not only do you get a short story but also a how to guide cuz I realized a lot of the newsletters I sign up for come with how to guides or writerly resources. But anyways, here are some of my favorite books/podcasts/blogs that have been so, so helpful to me over the past few months: Craft Books: Go Teen Writers: Edit Your Novel by Stephanie Morril and Jill Williamson: This one has a little bit of everything in it and is perfect for beginners. If you've just started plotting your novel, are in the middle of writing it or have begun the editing process this is a must have!  ...
