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?

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

Cover Reveal: Golden Touch!!

 Happy Tuesday!!  Today's the day! I turn 23 and I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than to share the cover for Golden Touch! I think this is by far my favorite cover my mom has ever done. It's crazy to think that this time last year Golden Touch was still just a first draft and I was in the middle of writing book 2 of the series. A defining part of my twenty-second year will always be having revised Golden Touch and written almost the entire Archive Series. And now I get to open up my twenty-third year with sharing the cover and writing book the first draft of book 5, the very last book in the series. God is so good guys. I really think He gave me Golden Touch and this whole series a few months before the events of 2020 started. He gave me a story I could get lost in, I could find joy in even during some of the hardest times of the year. And now I get to share the cover and I get to close out the series and I just pray and hope that God will use Golden Touch and

How to Write a Negative Character Arc

Anyone else love reading a train wreck? I find negative character arcs refreshing and fun to read and watch because not a lot of people do them. Like I'm a sucker for a redemption arc. I love characters that start out horrible and bad and "irredeemable" and then slowly redeem themselves and become the good guy. But from time to time I just love watching a good character go bad. Call me evil but I hope I'm not the only one who enjoys this. I've actually wanted to write this post for a while after rewatching Merlin last year and then over the past month me and a friend were rewatching Star Wars and I've always enjoyed the prequels because of Anakin's downward spiral. Also the last season of The 100, you watch as Octavia completes her journey to becoming one of the meanest, worst antagonists in the show. And that's saying something. The other day I really thought about what other characters who have negative arcs there are but I honestly couldn't th
