a little bit of a change...

-



So, if you haven't already noticed, I changed my blog theme... again. I am never happy with what I made it to look like, even with the banner. so, I'm simply going to keep it like this. I do like it. It's nice. Clean. Aesthetic.

Also, I've decided I'm going to post on Saturdays. I feel like that'd work a lot better with my schedule and ish.

Anyways, on to the original reason for this...


I'm running out of inspiration. Ideas. Everything, really. I missed the last to blog posts. I wanted to write something good for this week, but I just can't.

School is back in session, and I've got a wordpress blog for my Christian Worldview and Analysis course, and that requires weekly posts.

I'm working on my book. I'm polishing it since I finished the big-picture edits and word-cutting edits. Luckily I've got a class where that is literally what I'm supposed to do for two hours.

I'm directing a play at my school, as well as acting in it.

Needless to say, I've got a lot on my plate right now.

But I do want to continue with my blog. I've given up on too many things in my life. I'm not giving up on this.

If you guys have any questions you'd like me to discuss, or ideas for blog posts, or really anything, leave a comment. I'm going to answer. I promise.

Tips for Underwriters

Do you suffer from finishing your book, but only having 160 pages? Do you feel like your book is not as in-depth as it could be? Introducing Editing! This amazing program that will consume your life can be very, very helpful--if you know how to use it properly. So, without further-ado, I give you: Now, I myself am an underwriter. I come up with the idea for my story, write it down in paragraph form, all of it being one big long run-on sentence, and then I write it. I don't plot it out, I don't try and figure out what chapter should have what in it. I just speed right on through, starting and ending chapters where I feel they should start and end. But that can pose questions: Is my book long enough? Do I need to add more in to fill out the story? Did I write it as best as it can be? So, to answer these questions and give a few tips, here we go! Before I delve into the tips, you need to take a step back and look at your manuscript. Does it even need to be

Super Secret-But-Not-Really-Cuz-I-Kinda-Already-Mentioned-It-Earlier Special Book Announcement!

Okay, so it wasn't released at 1. I'm just so excited I bumped up the time! I am so excited to announce this, because it's something that's taken up my life that past two or so years. Well, let me fix that wording. I've been working on this 8th rewrite of it for two years. I came up with the original idea back in 2011. I cranked this thing out when I had a dream that turned into my plot (with a few additions and changes, of course), and I instantly went through and kept editing it. Now, on the eleventh draft, I've finally decided that I am going to publish it. Self-publish, that is. *deep breath* *pterodactyl screech* YES FRIENDS, I AM SELF-PUBLISHING MY BOOK. I cannot tell you how excited I am. Now, I know I said I'm looking for an agent, but honestly, none of them wanted it. They said "while this is interesting, I don't think it's right for my agency right now." All I can say is this: I've talked to so many people

Mental Illnesses in Novels

In the media now a days, there is the trend to make a character have a mental illness. And while I'm all for bringing this stuff to the attention of the public who just wants everything nice and sweet and 100% fine, they almost never represent it properly. For characters with depression, most of the time it is like this: Girl is sad. Girl meets boy. Girl instantly is fine because she has a hot new boyfriend. That is not how it works. Whether you're in a relationship or not, depression does not go away. It makes you not want to do anything. It makes you moody, snippy, it makes you angry at yourself–so much so that you end up yelling at and hurting people you love. It makes you bawl your eyes out and feel hopeless and lifeless and dead. No amount of happy thoughts can stop it. And yes, talking to friends helps... but sometimes it just makes it worse. When it comes to anxiety, they're portrayed as really nervous. It is SO MUCH MORE than that. You panic becau
