Young-Writer's Guidebook: Brett Harris (An E-book of inspiration)

By -


        It's no secret around here that Vicky and I are young writers.
We've been writing together in the form of short stories/books for two years now, give or take. Recently, we decided we wanted to take our writing in a serious, God inspired direction, no matter what we write. But being a teen writer definitely is not easy.

                Ok, no I'm joking.  Anyway, a mentor of mine shared this e-book with me, called 'Young Writers Guide'  by Brett Harris. It has tips on being a young writer who leans on God from writers that have been published as young as even 15! Vicky and I did our reading on it, and found that it's not that hard to find good, substantial tips from people just like us.  There were 20 writers in all referenced in the e-book, and those were just the ones the author chose to contact!

            Being a teen writer means facing the rest of the world. It means knowing that our young age does not define us or our talent. What does define us, in how we use our young age and talent for God's word. This book gives helpful tips and encouragement to keep striving to be more than the standard they've put on young writers like us, and to push forward to the next steps in our careers.

              Yes. I said career. Being a  writer, unpublished or not, means you HAVE A CAREER. Something to work for. And this book reminds you not to put your passion aside. If writing is what you love, and what you feel you are called to do, DO IT. Give it your all, and give it all to God.

                Below, I'll put a link to the e-book, in case any of you want to read it. (Trust me. You do.)

                     Till next time, it's Kit Heart, encouraging you to keep writing!

                               Wdut?
       Anyone read it before? If so, how did it help you? And if you just read it now, tell us more about your young writer's life in the comments!

Planning Fails

By -

    When I opened this tab to start writing, it began to rain outside. It still is, right now, as I stare out the window, the sky is grey and water pours over the trees and roof. This is making me think about how, later this week, my family wants to go to the beach. I immediately hope our plans won't be ruined by the rain. And that leads us to today's post.    I am most definitely a TYPE A  person. I like things planned and under control, preferably under  my  control. I make lists and schedules and set reminders on my phone. (Don't let this make you think I'm organized, I'm really not.This actually tends to balance out with the fact that I'm also extremely forgetful, a bit chaotic and I tend to misplace things all the time). So when my plans get messed up, I get a little upset. Ok, a lot upset.    There are so many examples I can give. When I finished seventh grade, and a week before eight grade started, my parents had to make the in...

Why Should I Bother?

    I was fifteen, sitting on the cafeteria table during a summer camp I was working. Surrounded by other volunteers and a couple of the adult teachers. My best friend, who was working the camp with me, sat on a chair below. Somehow, we had switched subjects from the hilarity of the kids we were taking care of, to politics. One of the adult teachers was from Eastern Europe, with a heavy accent and a big smile. We had grown to like him pretty well. Yet he was the leader of a group of teenagers who were advocating for socialism in America, demeaning our government, and overall just spouting wrong information. I was floored, and my best friend made eye contact as if to ask ‘should we say something?’.     It can’t be lost on anyone that we’re faced with this sort of decision often in our country. A country of free speech, of opinions and change. I love living in a place where we can defend our opinions, speak up without fear. But sometimes, I find myself and others si...

   Ok, so this review is a little out of place because I never reviewed the first one but I HAD TO because I love this book so much my heart shattered and is somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic. It's Legendary by Stephanie Garber (check out the post on our IG @thepageflippers) and is the sequel to Caraval . Here's the summary you get online for both ( just so you have an idea on what the first one is about and aren't completely lost. Totally not to remind myself.) Caraval:   Scarlett has never left the tiny island where she and her beloved sister, Tella, live with their ruthless father. Now Scarlett's father has arranged a marriage for her, and Scarlett thinks her dreams of seeing Caraval, the legendary, once-a-year performance where the audience participates in the show, are over. But this year, Scarlett's long-dreamt-of invitation finally arrives. With the help of a mysterious sailor who she has just met, Tella whisks Scarlett away to the show. Only, as soo...
