Book Writing: Episode 1

Gonna try something new!

Book Writing: Episode 1

Hi! I've decided to write about my journey in book writing.

I've never done this before, but for the past 4-5 years, I've really wanted to write a book. I really want it to be something special.

I already know what it's about and I won't give away any spoilers! But, I guess this is a way to share my adventure while writing this "book" for anyone who is curious and memories for me! I say "book" because as of right now, I'm honestly now sure how long it'll be. Or if the amount I'm going to write is going to be considered enough pages for a "book".

Who knows?

Another reason I want to share my writings and thoughts is because I feel like if I share it with the world, at least the beginnings of it, I'll be more inclined to finish it. I'll be more likely to at least write every word, even if I decide not to publish it.

Contributing to the world is something I really strive for and want to do. I feel that writing a publication can be a great way to do that: sharing my ideas, and hopefully my writings will find others and contribute to their lives.

I'm not sure where this is headed, I feel a little doubtful that it'll be successful, but I don't think there is any harm in trying. Any harm in at least putting the idea out in the universe.

My plan is to write at least 300 words a day. It's short enough that I won't feel stuck, but it's a pretty easy schedule to keep up with (at least for now!).

All in all, I am super excited to start this rollercoaster of a ride!

Thank you for joining me in episode 1 and I'll update you next time! :)

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
