Super Hero Fantatic

Hey everyone! So since I've been feeling a little under the weather and I didn't get a post done for this week yet because I'm a big procrastinator this post is going to be sort of short but I hope you like it anyways. For the last few months I've been living in a world of super heroes and powers thanks to my book Weapon Icean and now that I am finally satisfied with where the characters and plot are I'd like to share some of my favorite super hero books with you guys. So here they are: The Renegade X Series by Chelsea M. Campbell featuring: The Rise of Renegade X , The Trials of Renegade X , and the latest The Betrayal of Renegade X .  All are awesome and full of the thoughts of a snarky and sarcastic half hero/half villain protagonist named Damien. Did I mention he has the power of flight and yet he has a huge phobia of heights? V is for Villain by Peter Moore is about the son of a famous hero who, unlike his brother, is lacking in the power depart...

A Valentine Post: How to get Readers to Ship your Characters

Hey everyone and happy almost Valentines Day! This post is all above the love. Shipping, loving fictional characters, and my favorite lovey dovey songs for writing romantic scenes. (Minor spoilers for The Vampire Diaries and Percy Jackson books). But first! A writing update! I have to mention Weapon Icean, my superhero fiction story I'm currently editing... There are still a few kinks that needs figuring out but I am confidant that I'll get my characters sorted and figured out (as long as they're in a cooperative mood). I wanted it to be ready by the middle or end of February but I'm not sure if that's going to happen now. I determined though to get it published sometime soon, the release date is still very sketchy. Also, I am working on the synopsis. I am awful at synopsis' and what it to be the best so I'm taking my time. The second book is also in the works along with a sci-fi book featuring Powered characters that like to boss me around and tell me w...

What do Succesful Books Have in Common?

When I think of awesome and successful book series a few names come to mind. Percy Jackson and the Olympians The Hunger Games The Divergent Series Eragon Lord of the Rings The Chronicles of Narnia Twilight The Mortal Instruments Series The Harry Potter Series And the Lunar Chronicles. For the past few weeks I've been sort of stuck in my writing. That always happens to me after I finish a book that I was particularly pumped about. I invested months into the plot, the world and the characters and I sort of become stuck in my ways so when I start searching for a new idea, for new characters to fall in love with I often jump from story to story only to run out of steam in the first fifteen pages. So it got me thinking: What makes a book so successful? What do all of these books have in common? I believe 100% that there's no secret formula to creating an amazing book that everyone loves. I can guarantee that there are people who aren't into the Percy Jackson boo...

Join the Dark Side: We Have the Cool Characters

Hello everyone! Hope your all having a great week. I woke up this morning to snow covering everything outside so of course we'll all be out sledding and playing later today. Anyways, last week I was talking to my dad in the car and he loves the show Supernatural but I don't watch it so usually he just tells me what's been happening and he started talking about the two main characters Dean and Sam Winchester. I don't watch the show so I don't know who's who but he was saying how at the beginning one of the brothers was like the sort of "bad brother" and the other was kind of the "good brother" but as the show went on each of them started to show different qualities and the "good brother" ended up having some darkness in him. Then after we went to see The Force Awakens (amazing movie. You have to see it!) I was saying how much I loved Kylo Ren and my dad is always like why does everyone love the bad guys. Why does everyone lov...

My 2016 TBR List

Here's a list of books that I can't wait to read this year. (Along with some books that I didn't get around to reading in 2015.) The Bureau of Time by Brett Michael Orr (His debut novel I believe that I can't wait to get around to reading.) Cassandra Wright is a Timewalker – a teenager with a genetic mutation that allows her to manipulate the flow of time. But her inexplicable powers have made her a target for Adjusters – monstrous assassins from a parallel universe. Saved from almost certain death, Cassie is pulled into a secret agency sworn to defend our timeline against these threats: the Bureau of Temporal Integrity, Monitoring, and Execution. Cassie’s life soon becomes entwined with Shaun Briars – a reckless Timewalker with an alluring smile and dark suspicions about the Bureau itself. When Cassie and Shaun cross into the parallel universe, they discover a world in the grips of nuclear winter, with a new war threatening to spill over into our universe. With t...

Doctor Who: A New Fan is Born

I could only think of one way to start off the new year and that is with two words: Doctor Who. So, I am a new fan. I've heard the words Doctor Who uttered on the lips of many and half the people that I call friends watch the show. A while back I had no shows. To have no shows to watch is like... having no air to breath or water to drink for me. It is critical for my sanity that I have shows to watch. And so I found myself surfing through Netflix and Hulu in desperation. Doctor Who stuck out to me like it has countless of other times but I scrolled past because I had already promised myself I would never watch it. Never! It sounded too weird and whack for me -- and that's saying something because I live on weird and whack! -- and besides I like my main characters to look the same and be consistent through the show. Doctor Who didn't do that. The main character the Doctor changed faces, personality, and voice every few seasons! And I thought that would drive me craz...

Ushering in the New Year

I haven't been writing on here for a while. Life got in the way and I got completely distracted and I also had a bit of writers block when it came to the blog.  But with the new year comes new resolutions and new inspiration. Starting with the blog. I've changed it all up and given it a different name and everything.  Why the new name? I've wanted to change it for a while and I thought it was about time to flip everything around. And also from here on out the blog will be about more than just writing. I want to cover TV shows, movies, and life while also sharing my passion for reading and writing.  I also have a brand new planner from Christmas that I am dying to use from my book writing to college work to blog posts. I'm super excited for the new year and can't wait to get going on the blog.  I've decided to post every Wednesday so I hope you'll come back for more.  For now though I want to kick off the new blog with a post about my new resolutions list sty...
