Wrting Tip #1: Relax, Rethink, Start Again

Writing Tip #1: Relax,Rethink, Start Again

             A lot of times when your writing you get stressed out about how everything is going to fall into place or if you don't like something in your writing your afraid to take it out, because it could change your story. Three things you need to do: 

            First is relax: 

                                 

Take a moment to just sleep or do something that will take your mind off your writing for a little bit. Chances are if your stressed about your writing, you have been writing for too long! After you have time to just breath, the second step comes into play. 

                 Second is rethink: 

                                     

Rethink about the possibilities in your writing and what it can and can't live without. Even rethink your entire novel! Is it really going the way you want, if so why do you keep deleting things? Think about where your story is going and how long is it going to take before it ends. After you have had a whole other thought processes about what your story needs and doesn't need, its time for step three!

         Third is Start Again: 

                   

Its not fun to start again, especially if you are restarting an entire story! Just breath and take it slowly. If you continue to not like what you have in front of you. Its not as easy as it seems just to 'start again, because you have to make sure everything adds up in your story and there is no missing pieces. Its like a puzzle. Continue these steps through out your writing and it will make it a lot easier.

Someone like You by Sara Dessen

                    Someone like You by Sara Dessen


           Honestly, I haven't ever really liked any of Sara Dessen's work....until this book! This was a great read and it was different from all the Sara Dessen books I have read. Usually her books are the same plot line just a different story, but this one was completely different and I loved it. It is something I recommend, because this is the only book by her I actually like, I give it five stars! Here's the
summery:



          Halley has always followed in the wake of her best friend, Scarlett. But when Scarlett learns that her boyfriend has been killed in a motorcycle accident, and that she's carrying his baby, she's devastated. For the first time ever, Scarlett really needs Halley. Their friendship may bend under the weight, but it'll never break--because a true friendship is a promise you keep forever.



OKAY, ITS THAT TIME! EVERYONE WHO HAS NOT READ THIS BOOK! I STRONGLY ADVISE YOU TO GO READ IT AND THEN COME BACK! BYE! :)
                                            

       Alright, now its time for some real talk! (LEAVE IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE BOOK! LAST AND FINAL WARNING!) First off I would like to point out that Macon is funny, just hilarious, I love that when they had there first real conversation it was in the principles office! Second, Macon is also a jerk, he doesn't seem like he wants to be with her when she says no to having sex with him! Kinda rude and then he's always trying to get her in trouble. Like when she says she doesn't want to do something, because it will get her in trouble it. He still wants her to break the rules.
                    




      But! I did indeed love their break up and I know that sounds cruel, but it was great how he was watching her at the dance. I mean don't get me wrong, I think Macon is a hotty, but I felt he deserved it. I also loved how in the end he asks if they need a ride to the hospital, that just made my heart go round and round!
                                  

          And then Scarlett named her baby Grace HALLEY Thomas! That was so sweet she named it after her best friend! Even though this book wasn't completely all about the romance, it was still as wonderful book! And it touched my heart!
                             
ALL IN ALL:
            This was a great book! Put your opinion of this book in the comments!

The Collector: A Dante Walker #1 by Victoria Scott

                                         The Collector: A Dante Walker #1 by Victoria Scott 

This book was great! At first it was a little dry, but it kept getting better and better. If you like sarcastic, egotistic and charming guys, you will love this book! This book is a great goodnight read. Here's a summary: 

He makes good girls...bad. 

Dante Walker is flippin’ awesome, and he knows it. His good looks, killer charm, and stellar confidence have made him one of hell’s best—a soul collector. His job is simple: weed through humanity and label those round rears with a big red good or bad stamp. Old Saint Nick gets the good guys, and he gets the fun ones. Bag-and-tag.

Sealing souls is nothing personal. Dante’s an equal-opportunity collector and doesn't want it any other way. But he’ll have to adjust, because Boss Man has given him a new assignment:

Collect Charlie Cooper’s soul within ten days.

Dante doesn't know why Boss Man wants Charlie, nor does he care. This assignment means only one thing to him, and that’s a permanent ticket out of hell. But after Dante meets the quirky Nerd Alert chick he’s come to collect, he realizes this assignment will test his abilities as a collector…and uncover emotions deeply buried. 

SPOILERS! STOP! PASS THIS POINT IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE BOOK YOU WILL BE UPSET! SPOILERS ARE COMING! 


Okay! Now that all the people who haven't read the book are gone(they better be), I can really talk! First, Dante was a total jerk in the beginning, did that bother anyone else? I mean he was funny, but at the same time he was really fake to Charlie. What I did love was how his personality changed when he could relate to her about both of there parents and how he felt sorry for her since her 'grandma' was sick. 
Another aspect I want to hit is Blue, he died! I didn't want that and where did he come from when they were fighting? Did he follow them or was he someone important that I just completely missed? Then I knew Victoria and Max were going to be together as soon as Max said something about his fiancee I was like: 








But then I was like: 










I loved it! It makes me so happy that Victoria and Max found each other, I think they are just so cute. Of course that wasn't the end of it, Dante's moms boyfriend was the antagonist. The bad guy. I was just like:

    
            


















Like it could have been anyone,but no it was someone who was unimportant.  At first I was like OMG Blue is going to come out and be all "What now, Dante!". He didn't and I wasn't happy about that at all. He was just some random thrown in character that I felt had nothing to do with anything!

OVERALL: 
The book was interesting and I will be finishing the rest of the series! It was funny on so many levels of sarcasm.
