Books That Lighten Up My Day

There are books out there that are the kind that really lighten up my day.  When I read them they lighten my day up by the way they reach me as an audience.  It usually depends on the mood I am in, but generally books that say that you are not alone in the midst of chaos and characters facing challenges are some of my main ones.  Whether it is one of my best days or worst days these books always lighten it up.  It can come in with any genre, and it is unique for every book.  I like to look for these books in particular a lot of the time because I like books that seem to have this purpose.  They lighten up my day, even if it can't get any better.

What Inspires the Writer In Me- Fantasy Genres

I love fantasy genres because it seems like they have no limits on possibilities to write about.  Anything that you can imagine can become part of your fantasy book.  That is truly an amazing part of fantasy genres.  It inspires me just to think of the endless possibilities in fantasy genres.  This is one of the things that really inspires the writer in me to write fantasy books.  I think of how there are no limits in my fantasy book.  For a writer like me, with a wild imagination, it always inspires me to write a fantasy book when I do this.   

My Favorite Settings In Science Fiction Books

I find that science fiction books are so fun to read!  Part of what makes them so fun to read is their endless variation of settings.  Science fiction books are one of my favorite genres.  My favorite settings in science fiction books have to do with things that we are currently researching, and finding new things everyday.  A lot like the movie Jurassic Park.  This is one of my favorite movies.  I love Jurassic Park's settings.  These types of settings will continue to be my favorite for science fiction books because they never get old.  We are always finding things like dinosaur bones and prehistoric plants and objects.  As we do, there is always a different picture painted as to how they looked and lived.

Comic Books Make the Best movies- Revisited

Some of the best movies I have seen are based on comic books.  Comic books make for a lot of entertainment for the reader.  Some movies based on comic books are Daredevil based on the book(published by Marvel Comics), Dylan Dog: Dead of Night based on the book Dylan Dog by Tiziano Sclavi, and Fantastic Four based on the book (published by Marvel Comics).  I really like comic books and all of the artistic creativity put into it by the author and artist.  I think that is one of the best parts about reading comic books.  Writing is an art within itself.  When you combine the both it is fantastic to see.  They make the best movies!  I anticipate many of these when I hear of them in the movies.

Horror Books With a Christmas Setting

I am a horror book fan.  For Christmas I would like to read a good horror book with a Christmas setting.  This sounds fun.  I love to read horror books.  One with a Christmas setting sounds interesting.  I have watched some horror movies before with a Christmas setting, so I thought it would be fun to read a horror book like this for Christmas.  A Christmas setting is such a great place for people to be distracted.  Like in the movie I watched, you could have a murderer walking around in a perfect disguise.  There are so many different horror plots that can fit into a Christmas setting.  Who knows, I may be inspired to write one of my own over the holiday.  This horror genre, along with the Christmas setting, really does make for some entertaining books to read for Christmas.

Writing Ideas- Activities For Your Book

     Sometimes when you come across a stump in your story making process, "taking a break" or ignoring the problem is exactly what you want to do.  Put your story away and let the piece boil for a while.  If you have been cramming ideas into your book, trying to make things work, this will work even better for you!  Within the first night you might have "possibilities" for your book.  But hold off for a couple more days or so and see the results!


     Even though you might think you found the perfect way to write it, try to leave it be.  Your mind will expand even further in the direction you want to go.  Pause.  Don't try to remember anything you think of, just let it come and go without pressure.  You'd be surprised at how well you remember what you thought of when you let your subconscious take control.

The Power To Write- Get Inspired

     Enjoying the writing process is the way to go!  If you have trouble writing make sure you take some time to "sit" on the problem.  And when you do, the first step is to see the solution within the problem.  Tell yourself that there is no problem.  Because the problem is your solution.


     It is absolutely good when there is a problem in the story.  If the problem wasn't a problem at all then solutions wouldn't matter and polishing your story would have no meaning.  Problems stand out to let us know that the story can be improved.  Start telling yourself that problems . . . are good things.
