Vacationing with your story.

They could be writing!!!!!!
So, this last week I was vacationing, it was great I had so much fun. The thing is I had so much trouble continually writing on my book. I mentioned in my introduction that I had started a book. The book is going to be a historical fiction novel based in 1900s during women's suffrage. My book is still in it beginning stages right now I am just writing not editing. When you still having a starting of a book, like a baby book you have to keep up your writing in it, you have to change it, feed it, love it, it makes it really hard to keep up with it. The best thing to do is write in it everyday. I know that is really hard, But when your book is a baby you have to keep up with it or you will lose interest. It becomes a continual cycle of I have better things to do, I don't want to do it, and excuses like that. Sure there are way more fun things that you could be doing on vacation, in my case skiing and playing in the snow. Not sticking to your plan may help you fall into a spiral of not writing.This is bad, you writing is good!!! Make writing on your vacation, (and anytime) fun and enjoyable.  I strongly suggest that you keep writing. I am sad to say I did not get a much writing in as I wanted to on my vacation and now I am behind. DON'T DO IT!! Find time for your writing so you can love your writing and your writing can love you.

I Juan de Pareja



I Juan de Pareja.

Do not be intimidated by the title of this amazing book. I came upon this book in the section of the library with the award winners. If it was not for my mom I would have not given it a second. Don't judge a book by its cover, (no pun intended). Well, even though I would have not chosen this book I found it a very enjoyable read. I have already read this book three times now and it gets better each time.The main character of this book is Juan. Juan is born into slavery, but is treated well. One day he wakes up and everyone in the house was gone. They all died. He is found and inherited to this great painter,Diego Velázquez. Juan makes paints and canvases. In not to long wants to paint but it is against the law for a slave to know the art. This historical fiction writing by Elizabeth Borton de Treviño is a master piece, I would suggest this book for tweens, teens, and adults. Read it post a comment about what you think of this book.

Introduction.

As a young adult I am very interested in YA writing. You could say I am obsessed with reading. What I will be doing with this blog is talking about my experiences with YA writing. Unlike the average person I am trying to write my own Historical-fiction novel, and I'm blogging. In this blog I will be talking about my writing experience, books I enjoy, authors I adore, and just YA reading and writing. I really hope you enjoy this blog and all that is on it.
I love your comments and thought. Don't be shy! :)
