Happy Fourth of July!!

Happy Fourth of July everyone! I hope you all have a great day! I completely forgot to do a monthly wrap up for June, so I thought I would share a few things on this post even if it is four days into July.

In June I did a lot of experimenting with my writing. Not only was I reading through Golden and working on revisions for that, but I did a whole lot of research on serialised writing. I talked about that in my post from last week and I think I'm getting a hang of it. It's sort of life writing a TV show only with really short 8,000 word episodes. It's been fun and a challenge and something new to discover and has allowed me to stretch my writing muscles. I plan to do a post on how to write a serialised novel... or at least how I've been writing mine. I'm also doing a lot of research on the best way to put it out to the world. I wouldn't mind making some money but I'm not sure if that's the best avenue. I could put it on Kindle, each episode .99 cents, or on of the serialised novel websites I've found. Or I was thinking after Sterling Silver I could put it on Wattpad or even make my own blog for it. The blog idea sounds really fun and I have some cool ideas for it, but I'm not sure yet what I'll do with this book. Right now, the working title for it is Clarity's Curse. Anyways, so that's what I was doing in June, along with slowly getting around to studying for a math test and the driver's permit test that I want to be ready for by the end of July.

Anyways, I can't believe it's already July! I hope your summer has been good. Mine's been a much needed break and has allowed me to really focus on my writing and think over options and everything.

Have a great Fourth of July full of friends, family and yummy food!

Friday in Review: Fictional Vacation/Would you Rather

Happy Friday! So, they awesome Lily Cat tagged me in this fictional vacation/would you rather challenge and I am so excited to do this. It sounds so fun! Alright so here's the deal:   ~ Include the graphic  Madeline  made. ~ Answer the Questions  ~ Tag some other people if you feel so inclined Let's jump right into this!  Would you rather...  Train with demigods for the summer at Camp Halfblood OR attend Hogwarts to learn some spells for a semester? 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!  ...
