To Submit or Not To Submit . . . (A.K.A. How to seek out an agent or publisher!)

Me-"Well so am I! An that's Okay!
 Just don't take it out on anybody.
Let it fuel your writing fire."

1- You Have a Right to be Sad-Mad:
      I know I always say, "Never give up!" Well you shouldn't, because if you do something, You will normally succeed if you do your best at it. However my point is, I will never say You can't be sad. Because I have been a little down lately. I dislike sending my book (A.K.A "My baby")to people who don't like it as much as I do. Yet that's life, you few writers reading this should know not every reader who reads your book is going love it. So when sending your book to agents or publishers focus on the good things in your life because if you don't people will defiantly say:  


2- Look Around For What Best Fits You:   
Now I have browsed all over the internet, for the best literary agents, and publishing house that accept unsolicited manuscripts. What I have learned on my adventure, is there are plenty of both out there for every kind of writer no matter what the genre. For people who like things fast and efficient, look into this years and next years writers' digest at your local library. For people who don't mind browsing the web for the best go to writers' digest website, or just google tell you find what you like. So keep searching and eventually you will find them and be like:

3- A Publishing House that accepts unsolicited manuscripts:
 CQ is a website I just tried. I have my fingers crossed because I would like them to accept my novel. Yet I thought you guys might like the link too. Now one author you might know who this company help publish is "Andrea Berthot" my sister loves her book "the heartless city" you should check it out.
Now that's all so: 


As always Hope this helps you guys and girls out. if you guys/girls like this post comment or just share it. If you girls/guys have any tips for me go ahead and comment! An if you guys don't mind will you check out this link, would really appreciate it! : AWESOME!Now keep On Writing! 

   

How to write a Thriller! (A.K.A. Suspense Is Key!)

1- Keep Readers Jumping in
 Their Seats!
Best way to give a reader a thrill in my opinion. Your writing has to be detailed while also full of action and mystery.
Such as: "We three sat in the dark on the leather couch watching 'Friday the 13th'. the smell of popcorn filled the air. we all knew why we were here , we knew what we were waiting for. Then as the credits rolled, I heard the knock. I looked at my friends, we knew what we had to do. It was time. We grabbed the jar, the secret jar. Then we headed to the door, we saw the shadowed figure standing on the other side. I opened the door. Then we did what we had to do,  what so many of are friends had done before us. . . We paid the pizza guy. (LOL)
Now you see I didn't describe much, for a thriller you need to leave room in your writing for your reader to go wild with their imaginations. You want your book to thrill your readers to the bone so when they hear a noise they'll be like- 

Readers- "I love this book!"

2-Make sure to Give necessary 
 Details

 You need to be vague with details when writing thrillers but not so much that your readers are wondering what's going on. You need to describe the main stuff like your surroundings. You see above I wrote it where I describe only a few things. Where you know their in the living room. because I explained the couch and the tv. So be detailed. You want your readers to be like-

Readers- "Holy Crap don't Leave me alone."

3-Thriller Or Horror?

You need to know there is a difference between thriller stories and horror stories. in thrillers there is less blood. in horror there are a lot of bodies. I've notice some writers can get lost in the shady wall between thriller and horror. So you need to know thriller stories are made to excite a reader. Horror stories are made to frighten a reader so
 their like-  



Well guys as always I hope these tips help you guys out! I know it's short but If you like my post share it please and comment!

Finished My Book!

Hey guys I am exceedingly happy to report that I have finished my second novel. If you would like to read it please put your name in the comment section and I will, when it's published, send you a copy of my book.

How to Keep Editing On Your Book, When You Feel Like Jumping Out a Window!

Me to My Twin Sis- "I'll work on it later!"

1- Don't Jump!(LOL) 

You see I' am currently editing my book, so I know exactly how it feels, to be in agony as you edit through your book looking for the tiniest error. It's Horrible! But the reward of finishing the editing of your book is wonderful so, Don't say-



Me reaching for a comic book-"I'll just read thi-"

Sis- "No!"

2-Don't Push It Off!(Someone will catch you! LOL!)

I know when your editing your book you want to just do anything but. Because to you the book is Golden! And Your book probably is. But just like with gold, you need to clean and shine your book so others can see it's beauty. So don't slack off! or this might happen...

Me-"Why won't this end!"

3-Split Your Editing Time in Half! 

You see while your editing your book it's hard to know if your view is the right one to edit your book. since if your a writer like me that makes your book a part of you. My advice split the load. Take the first five chapters, and then give the next five to your friend, professional editor, or family
member that is helping you edit!
once both of you are done trade
chapters and edit each other's work.
This will make sure you get a second
view on your book and give a nice 
editing process so your book isn't
changed from how you envisioned it.
This will also make it so your not banging
 your head against a wall saying-

Me- "You got this!"

4-Don't Stop Editing!

When you get in the editing groove, which is where a writer feels happy to be editing. You shouldn't stop other then for food & potty, of course. Because the editing process for any book is much harder to do if you only edit half of the book, Or the first view pages. P.S. the last edit of your book should always be done by a professional editor.


As always hope these tips help you guys out! Comment if they do! Will be writing so sorry if I don't blog for a while! My twin sister will be on me like white on rice to finish writing my book before august(Because I asked her to push me to finish) LOL! Good luck on your guys writing whoever is reading this!

 

How to Make Your Book Character Awesome! (A.K.A. How to Have a Badass As One of Your Book Characters!)

Me- "My Favorite Book!"

1- Give Your book character an Awesome Origin Story!

Some authors give their main really cool characters' an amazing origin story. Like "Magnus Bane" from "the Mortal instruments" book series. He was born a half/demon and grew up in a religious and abusive home which made him strong. When he figured out how to use his magic he escaped his home and traveled around the world, selling his magic services for a price. Then as he lived through the many centuries that passed, he continued to Fall in and out of love, until he met "Alec Lightwood". (You see that to me is an awesome origin story!)

Me- "Their Amaze-Balls!"

Another good example is "The Scarlet Witch" and her twin brother "Quicksilver". Through out marvel comics they have many origin stories but my favorite is, the one in the movie "Avengers 2: Age of Ultron."  it describes their trials of hardship. loosing their (adopted) parents (real parents are "Magneto" and mother is (?) ), Hating "Stark", and so on. I also like how the movie shows how close they are to one another, because they are all each other has. (You want your readers to understand the sorrow, joy, or anger that your book character may feel. Because you want your readers to relate to the character or characters you may have.) Like how me and my twin sister felt when Quicksilver dies. (I cried. And I don't cry easily.) For twins it's like there's a link between you that no one else is connected to. it's just the two of you, and if the link is severed it probably feels like your dying. And when the Scarlet Witch screams when her brother dies it breaks your heart. You see If you write about twins you need to describe there connection. 
 

"Oh, were Fitz and Simmons!"

2- Have a Good Love Interest In Place!

You see your book character can be as badass as "Black Widow", but that isn't going to get your book character a huge fan base unless you pair them up with some one as equally awesome! (Like The Hulk, or Captain America) For instants, two awesome and cool in their own way people "Leo Fitz", & "Jemma Simmons" from "Marvel Agent's of  S.H.i.E.L.D." Tv show. They both are good separately, but together as "Fitz-Simmons" their fan-base is off-the hook! LOL! Their love connection makes them that much cooler. 

"I am A Amazing Human Being!" LOL!

3- You Don't Need to Make Your Book Character to Macho! 

Some characters in books need to be macho. Example: Bad guys, Bullies, and Military types. Unless your character is one of these things then they don't have to be macho. Some people think Badass means the same thing as "Macho" but it's not. Some times the simplest cool guy is the best. Like Batman, "Agent May" from "Agent's of S.H.I.E.L.D. ,  "Kirito" from"SAO",
"Hawk-eye" from "The Avengers".
All of these characters are cool just because there simple non-powered heroes, but their still heroes. And that makes them peoples favorite choices because we can relate to non-powered heroes because each of us is one in our own way.
  

Author- "I've Made A Badass Book Character!"

So Round-up of my post. Badass character requirements:

*Awesome origin story!
*Good love Match-up!
*Simple heroes most the time get a good fan-base!(Powered heroes are also very awesome!)
Now Good luck on writing! Because when your done you can be like-

How To Make A Grown Man Cry! (A.K.A. How To Have Your Readers Emotionally Invested In Your Book)

1- Grab their Tear-ducts!

(You need your readers to fall in love with one of your characters!) For me I fell in love with dobby in Harry Potter! (So the way to do that, is make an adorable and sometimes relatable character, that goes through hardships and survives.) So when something


Me- "Or a Grown Woman." 

bad happens to your character
Your readers will be like-


 

 

2- Add Cute Unique

Characteristic For

Your Character!

(I love dobby's characteristic , which is him speaking in the third person.)



Me- "Yes you are Dobby, yes you are!"

(I think "Natsu from Fairytail" has a super unique characteristic. "I've got a fire in my belly." Every time he says that you know "shit just got real,")
You want your character to be unique and un-similar to anyone else's. Like for instants you have a character named "Josadiah Hemston." who is a detective who unlike, "Psych", "the Mentalist", and "Monk" who's abilities are  based off "Sherlock Holmes's" ability to pay close attention to detail. 
Josadiah's is a detective who can read minds. He snatches his killers by finding evidence to build a good enough case against them to try them for the murders they have or will commit. his unique characteristic is when he's reading peoples minds his eyes will start to glow so he has to where sunglasses all the time and he has to hum, "Stand by Me" to calm his mind so he only has to focus on one mind and not all of them. When he hums you know he's about to catch his killer. LOL!

Me- "And he's your husband!"

3- Have Your Unique Character Have A Relationship With Someone unexpected! 

 I think unique charters should get with someone just as equally unique. (like Ron & Hermione! Their Love surprised me so much!) I think love in books should be unexpected. You know like the real thing! You want people to be half expecting the couple to happen and half not sure if they will get together. Give them cute things like this: They fight a lot, they finish each others sentences, they may fall in love at first sight. It doesn't matter, you want the two unique characters that you make a couple to share something that no other book couple has. So make your own cute thing for your characters!

How to Write Amazing Chapter Names! (A.K.A How to Catch the Readers Eye!)

Reader- "What's The Point of Reading This When I Know

Hegart loses! Let's Get The Author!"

1- Don't Give Away The Chapter!
(Most authors are pretty good at giving their chapter's names that fit their chapter. You want your chapter if it is about the main character in your book for example:"Hegart Oak" a bad-ass swordsman in this chapter will battle "Gon the Ferocious" and will be injured in battle." You don't want your chapter to be called. "Chapter (?) The Defeat of Hegart Oak" (because your reader will see that and say-)

Reader- "What the Hell! The Chapter Name

Has Nothing To Do With This Chapter!

2- Make Sure Your Chapter Name Make Sense!(You see if we use the same chapter above, then you don't want your chapter to give absolutely nothing away!) For example- "The Fall" Your Readers will be like-

Reader- "This Chapter Name is Amazing!

You Guys Have To Read This Chapter!"

3- Make Your Chapter Name Subtle! (You want to hint what the Chapter is about but not give the Chapter away. So using the same Chapter above, you want the chapter name to be.) Example:
"Chapter (?) Gon the ferocious"
 it's doesn't give to much of the chapter away but should catch the readers interest! So your readers will say-

ARI

How to Make Your Writing Easier! (A.K.A Make Your Writing Area Bomb!)

Other Authors- "How Is This So Awesome!"

-So like the title says this is a few tips for making your writing come to you easily and for making a
writing Den that will blow other peoples Minds with how easy it is to achieve!

Author- "Just Breathe, Your Butt Will Un-numb Itself In a Bit." 

1# Get a very comfy chair. (If You Don't, Your Butt Will Go Numb From Sitting To Long!)
 I know from experience. If you don't have a comfy chair sit on your bed. (It works nicely for comfort.) An it's better then getting a numb tooshie! LOL!

Author-"Take That Filth! I Will Write Again!" 

2# Clean your Writing Den! Even if your Writing Den is just the middle of your bed, still make your
bed. If you have a desk Clean your Desk!(a clean writing area makes all the difference.)

Author- "Now I Finish and Write on!"

3# Have a note book and pencil ready to write down any old book idea that comes to you, as your writing. (but don't focus on the idea. Write it down and save it for another page or chapter. Unless the idea is for the chapter your on in that case, Write On!) Or if you have an idea about a character just draw and then continue writing!

Author- "Now Let's Get Are Caffine!"

4# Have a bottle of water & a bottle of Caffeine (Tea or coffee, your choice. Since caffeine dehydrates you. You need to drink water equal to the amount of caffeine you drink.) If you can't find a hot resistant water bottle then just use a cup. But KEEP IT AWAY FROM YOUR COMPUTER! (I made the mistake of putting my cup by my computer, it was horrible.)

Author- "Sweet, Sweet Paradise!"

5# Have a closed spaced room, so no one can interrupt your writing process. (Lone cabin in the
woods with WI-FI, would work nicely. Or a Hobbit Hole. LOL!)

Author- "My Food For Later!"

6# It's best to have food pre-made so you don't have to stop writing. Examples of pre-made food:
Veggie trey with ranch, Hummus & Crackers, Cookies & Milk, Granola bar, Chicken salad, Bento Box, Etc.
  (Put food some where high so pets can not eat it while your in Writing Mode. I know this also from experience. Or Just put your food in refrigerator or microwave.)





My Easy Writing Tips:

1- Get plenty of sleep. (Can't think if sleepy)

2- Drink Green tea instead of Coffee. (Green tea has more Caffeine)

3- Write your story down from beginning to end to have a rough draft. (book novel must be at least 50,000 words)

4- Find something that motivates you.(My motivators are my family, watching fantasy movies, reading, and green tea)

5- Mail finished manuscript to self and keep sealed long after book is published. (after you do this mail other copies to literary agents)

6- Must have literary Agent to get published. (figure that out the hard way)

7- Start at the beginning of one month and try to finish your book before the end of the month. (Giving yourself a time strain to push you to finish)

8- Never Give up. (Because every story out there written by every published and unpublished Author  should be read by the world, because it's some ones dream. And I think Dreams should come true.)

 9- Edit, Edit, Edit! Always edit. Your rough-draft is never enough. The best edit you can get is from someone else's point of view of your book. So Ask a friend or family member, that will be totally contrary to your feelings.



- Hope these Tips help you guys make your own awesome Writing Dens and makes your writing easier!

How to Add Love Intrest in Your Book! (Without Making Your Book Overly Lovey-Dovey!)

Love Crazed Character-"I Can't Live Without You!"

1- Don't Over Sell Love At First Sight!

 You see some authors, no names in particular, try to hard to show their characters love connection.
Example: "It would be more prudent for you not to be my friend. But I'm tired of trying to stay away from you, Bella." You all know this love connection is the point of  that book.
You make your books like that your readers will think your characters are love crazed, and unrealistic.

2- Make Your Character's Love Relatable.

(I think love should be subtle in books not the main point of them, unless it's a romance.) You need to make the love
your book characters share instant but real. Example: "The first time I saw Bryce Loski . . . I
flipped." (You need to also have something the book characters share for instants.)

Character main- "I love you!"

 3- Make The Love Between Your Book Characters Forever!

(I like Books that have characters that love starts shaky but ends forever. For instants, (Harry Potter)Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, (39 clues)Ian Kabra and Amy Cahill, (Rangers Apprentice) Will and Alyss, (SAO) Asuna and Kirito, (Fairy Tail) Natsu Dragneel and Lucy Heartfilia.(Mortal Instruments) Alec and Magnus, (Percy Jackson) Annabeth and Percy.)
You want your book characters love to be rooted for by your readers.

Reader- "They Finally Said They Love Each Other!"

4-Make Your Readers Root For The Main Couple!

(At the end of your book you want your readers to be happy with the book couple match-ups you may have. Put together the unexpected couples, like the geek and the prep girl, or the book worm and the Goth kid!) Because like I was for the episode in Castle when "Bucket and Castle said they loved each other". You want your readers to be like-

How To Write Action In Your Book! (A.K.A How To Make Awesome Fight Scenes!)

Shelia-"How Dare You Cheat On Me!"

1- Don't Over-Explain! (So you know how authors have fight scenes that are all sudden but still explanatory.) like- Shelia saw her boyfriend's hand being held by another girl at lunch. so with her blood boiling and her rage blinding her vision, she marched with in human speed right over to Mike and Pitch-slapped him. (You see this fight scene is clean and easy. that's how they should always be.)

Reader- "How is That a Fight Scene!"

2- Don't Under Explain! (You see some writers under explain fight scenes.) Like- Shelia saw boyfriend with another girl in front of her, and went and slapped him. (you see if you explain a fight scene like that.) Your readers will be like-    

"Let's do this!"

3- Now Make The Epic Fight! (You need to make it awesome. Like for instants.) Saneck stepped forward weapon drawn. John feeling his power surging through his body began to glow. His rage grew more and more as the pain from his wounds continued to build up. He was not going to go down like this, not this way. So with John's last amount of strength he stood up and roared-

How to Write An Amazing Query Letter! (A.K.A. How To Blow Your Literary Agent Away!)

Author Typing-"Dear (Literary Agents name)"

1- Address it to the Literary Agent! (To be polite.) also I figured out the hard way that if your book is a novel it has to be at least 50,000 words long, no Literary Agent will accept it if it's any less. So make sure your book is at least that lengthily.

Author- "Jimmy Owens is a young ten year old,

mischievous boy who's always getting into trouble."

2- Write a Summary of Your Story!(After you introduce yourself and explain your books awards and achievements, that you got from either a contest entry or a book review you got from a writer.)then write what I would call a summary of your book.

1rst- Explain your character! (a short few words.) like Jimmy Owens is a young ten year old, mischievous, boy who's always getting into trouble. Until his father goes missing.   

2nd- then describe the main plot of your book in two paragraphs. (you have to catch your literary Agent's attention.)
like, Jimmy Owens now has to find his missing father, but none of the people in his town seems to care, as if they have all been mind wiped. None of them even remember Jimmy's father ever existing. So alone, Jimmy Owens has to find where his father has gone. With the help of the only other person in his town who remembers his father even being alive, and also the last person to see him. Which is Nana Bimmion. A inquisitive young girl who's always had an interest in the terrestrial. And who tells Jimmy that she saw his dad had been taken by aliens. Now Jimmy with Nana's help, has to find out what really happened to his dad. But when a new comer comes into town, and tells Jimmy that he's and old friend of his Dad's. Jimmy figures out that his Dad was afraid of some unknown entity, that his old friend was going to banish from this earthly plain. 
   
3rd- describe why readers would like it. (A.K.A. your book fan base.)
I think readers will enjoy being able to relate to two vibrant and very opposite characters. Since readers love to grow and learn with book characters. Readers who enjoy the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan, will also like this book.

4th- add details! (A.K.A. where your book is based, and how many words.)
this book is based in modern day Salem Oregon, the word count for this book comes to 50, 789 words.

5th-Give info on you. (like, job, schooling, and achievements you've done.)
like- I'm a unpublished writer, a 2015 graduate from "fill in" highschool.

Author- "Take my Query Letter, Literary Agents!"

3- Thank Them For Their Time!(you see they don't have to read every query letter that comes in, so you should thank them for taking the time for reading yours.) Now that you have completed your query letter every Literary Agent is about to be blown away!

How To Not Get Lost In Your Book!(A.K.A. How to Avoid Being Stuck In Inspiration Abyss.)

Author- "An Idea Hit Me! Where's the chapter I was on?"

"How did I get in the inspiration abyss?"

1-Don't loose Focus! (When I was writing my first book I kept not finishing the chapter I was on, because new ideas for my book just kept popping in to my head. And so then I jotted the thought down and tried to get back and finish the chapter but I kept thinking how that idea I jotted down needed to be a chapter. So then I paused the chapter I was on and went to try and finish the new one. But the same thing happened. Over and Over.) So point is don't leave the chapter your on.
start from chapter 1 and end at
what ever chapter you think
your book should end in.
Because you don't want to be like. . .

Author- "I just had an amazing idea! Someone write it down!"

2- Get Yourself Out of the Inspiration Abyss. (Best way for me to calm down my idea trian. Was I told my ideas to a friend or family member in the room. Tell the idea listener, to remember the thought and write it down.) That way you can keep writing with no interruptions.

Blast through the Inspiration Abyss!

3- Write On! (After you get out of the maze of your own inspiration abyss, then continue writing. Never give up.

Me to you- "You Got This!"

4- Never let it Return!(So with my first book my mind abyss kept returning, so the best way to keep it at bay, is with your idea journal, your idea listener, and extreme focus and dedication!) After that, Just continue writing as always. Because.
. .










As always hope this tip helps you guys, and I will be posting more at a later date. I wouldn't postpone my post normally but I'm really sick. So I may post, I may not. Just please stay tuned. of course I will still write on my book because as I always say never give up.

How to Write Your Books Outline! (A.K.A How To Make Your Cake Layers!) LOL!

Author- "Start building Your Cake Layers!"

 (A.K.A. Your Book Layers)

1-  Start at The Beginning! (Start of with how you want the book to start. Either in the woods, the main character's bedroom, or a lonely dark street. Just start somewhere and then start filling in your cake, figuratively. I think of a book outline like a cake. You need The first layer, the second, and the bottom layer. Once you have the bases start filling in the layers with cream, or start filling in your book with words.) So. . .

Author- "Final Showdown!"

2- Start on the Main Climax of Your Book! (You need to write the main point of your story that is the whole point of your book. Like Harry Potter beating Voldemort the first time in the Sorcerer Stone. You need the Climax part of your book to be the most important.) 

Reader- "I can't wait for the next book!"

3- Then End Your Book! Once you finish The main three layers or the outline of your book fill it in and finish. Like Cinderella.
1- Girl trapped as maid for step mother.
2-Fairy Godmother helps her get to the ball.
3- Prince finds her with missing shoe.
There is an outline!
(End your book where your reader isn't angry at you, or at least so your Readers will be waiting to read your next book.!)
