Writing Tips #2

By
Sometimes you have this really good idea in your head but it just isn't working out on paper. You keep trying to write it out but it just isn't working out the way you want it to. Occasionally you will just have to trash the idea, but this isn't for every single time. First what you need to try to do is get at least two or three other ideas, even if they're small, and put all of these ideas together. Slowly weave these ideas together until they back each other up and work together and hold together strongly. Some ideas will not go well together so don't be afraid to rip them apart.

An example of this could be, maybe you want the story to be about this teenage guy who works as a butler for some extra money on weekday evenings. But you don't know what is going to happen to him. Maybe you have had this other idea sitting around in the back of your head, where strange things have been happening around this small town, people disappearing, houses moving five feet. Or maybe another world is threatening to go to war with your people. You could combine these things together to make a butler who is trying to stop an alien invasion and put the town back to normal.

Ideas don't always go so perfectly together so be prepared to take a step back to go a few steps forward.

That's it for now, have a British day.

Spring Break! Is Over?!

By
Something sad just happened yesterday, spring break ended! But there is an upside to it, it means that there is just over a month left of school and then it is time for summer!! Last week was a blast, though I'm mostly talking about what happened Friday and Saturday. The first part of the week, leading up to Friday, was pretty boring as the only thing I really did was go to the mall once with some friends (shopping NOT allowed, I DESPISE shopping) and we did some fun stuff together there. Friday, I went down to Mesquite with my family and my BFFTLEWE Sam (check out Radio Rebel to understand) and it was a blast! We went swimming in the huge pool at the hotel on Friday and saw the movie Home, which is pretty funny. There was a LOT of picture taking. Saturday, we swam some more and then we went to St. George and went shopping (Sam and I spent most of our time in the Cowboys and Indians store). There was a LOT of picture taking that day as well, especially at the pool and in the ca...

Creating Love Triangles

By
We've all read those books where there is a love triangle going on between three characters, main or side, and you just don't know who you want to get together in the end. I find those the best kind of love triangles, because if there is always one where you are automatically and always on this one side then it just doesn't feel like a proper love triangle cause you know exactly who you want to end up together and who is going to end up together. Boring, right? Now, it's time to create love triangles all on your own and make it so that your readers cannot decide who they want to end up together, it makes them more invested in the story this way. First, you need your main character of the triangle. Usually it's a girl with two boys, but you can switch it up a bit and make a boy with two girls. Let's make a love triangle where it's a boy with two girls, just turn away from the social normal and be ourselves now. Alright, let's make our main character s...
