     It's time for me to finally do a tag... and I've been wanting to do this one for a while so I stole it from Faith ! All of the books titles are links to their goodread's page, and I will also link any reviews I have on the books. THE RULES: 1. Give the person who tagged you a never-ending supply of cookies (since no one tagged me can I keep them for myself?!). 2. Answer all the questions and use the blog graphic somewhere in the post. 3. Pass along the tag to at least five other people. 4. Wear a sweater. (Optional) (And since the only sweater I have/had doesn't fit and since it's super hot where I live, nope).           Fuzzy Sweater (A book that is the epitome of comfort.) The Giver             I’ve loved this series forever, so re-reading them is so comforting. If you haven’t read them, what are you waiting for?! They’re amazing.    ...

I know a good number of writers who say that naming their characters is one of the hardest things for them. And although I don’t usually struggle with finding names for my characters, I totally understand, finding the perfect name for your character can be ridiculously hard. If you struggle with naming characters or if you’re trying to find the perfect name for them, never fear! I’ve been naming things since I could talk, strangers, furniture, kitchen utensils, animals (let’s just ignore the fact that I named them all after me… *cough*). I like to think of characters as a blank piece of paper, they have so much potential and future personality, and because they are still blank it can be hard to name them. Try to get to know your character first. This will help you to figure out their personality, which can lead to the perfect name for them. Ways to do this: 1. Fill out a character personality sheet. Character sheets will ask you a bunch of questions about your characters, their age...

      Grab a cup of coffee, hot chocolate, tea, or whatever you drink, and let’s talk about romance in YA.         This is going to be a very different post than my usual ones, because instead of you reading my thoughts before you comment, I want to read your thoughts before I comment!         Romance is such a big debate in the YA bookish world, and I’m curious to see what y’all think. I’ve lowkey ranted about this on here before, so I know a few of you have the same view on this as I do, but I also know that I’m getting a lot of new readers, and that brings more diversity to this blog.           So romance. What do you think about it in YA? Comment below, talk to me, talk to other commenters.        Please keep this discussion/debate civil! We all have different views, and the purpose of this post is to read what other p...

There are several writing rules I want to break someday...   I am in an IEW writing course and I have been in IEW since I can remember, I don't necessarily like IEW...at all. In fact, I have hopes of possibly switching to a different writing course next school year! So just a heads up, if you see a strange writing rule, it's probably from IEW! :P 1. The question rule. In my writing class we went over introductions recently, and one of the rules was that you may have one or three questions in the introduction, never more, never less. But that got me thinking, why not? I get not doing it for a paper, which is what we were talking about, but why not disobey this rule whilst writing a novel?                 I want to have a book where the whole first chapter (or at least page) is entirely made up of questions, maybe I'll make the main character have anxiety. 2. Pretty red bow. IEW has this thing about happy endings and ever...
