About Me: An Imprint

-
 
Allo (That was an allusion to Hercule Poirot), readers! My name is Chinalyi, and welcome to my blog! I love history, geography, literature, writing, and crime fiction novels so that is what I will be posting about.

I live in Southern California and have two siblings. I have a brother and an adorable two-year old sister, but no pets (I'm working on that). I am homeschooled and I just began a long, tiresome 11th grade year. My favorite subjects are history, geography, and literature. I love history since I believe that learning about the past helps me make better decisions in the future. I have always found it fascinating to memorize locations on a map, and then learn about each countries’ cultures. I probably received my desire to travel from my study of geography. Literature class is always appealing to an avid reader. I was introduced to both of my favorite book series in Literature class.

Speaking of literature, I would highly recommend The Tod Moran Mystery Series by Howard Pease. These books recount the adventures Tod Moran has with his friends as they solve mysteries mostly aboard American tramp steamers as sailors. The books were written from 1920 to 1960. My favorite book series is the Hercule Poirot Series by Agatha Christie. These books explore my favorite genre of literature: murder mystery. Some of my favorite books are from this series. I also read the biographies written by Janet and Geoff Benge and published by YWAM Publishing and Emerald Books, and I still enjoy the books published by American Girl.

With my love of reading comes my passion for writing. I began writing plays when I was eight. I wrote my first short story in fifth grade and my first actual poem in eighth grade. I love writing many things, and I am also attempting to write a novel.

Welcome to Histories and Mysteries!

Central Texas: A Writing Vacation

-
Image
  Welcome back to my blog. Today's article is about my writing/school/regular vacation to Texas. My family took a trip to the Dallas-Fort Worth area in Texas to visit relatives in early fall. This was a school vacation because I still had to spend time on vacation to write my essay and read my homework for the U.S. History college class I was taking. The vacation put a lot less stress on my schedule because I had a good amount of time on my hands to write my first college essay. It was terrifying at first, but I did well on it so that was a relief. This trip was also a writing vacation because Texas is a crucial part of research for a novel I have been writing. I needed two different areas of the country to use as a setting for my novel, and I chose Los Angeles and Dallas. Before this trip, I had only been in Texas for the first year of my existence so I didn’t know what the area looked like at all. I also tend to assume that every large city equals LA, and I was obviously w...

As you may have seen, I changed the font on this blog which required reposting every single article: yes, all fifty of them. But it is now all said and done. I also removed the directory from my blog because it was becoming a hassle. There is still the archives and labels on the sidebar though. There was a comment on the "Histories and Mysteries 2018 Site Directory" that was deleted along with the article when I made my changes. I will relay it below: Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Histories and Mysteries 2018 Site Directory": I'm amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that's both equally educative and interesting, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head. The issue is something not enough men and women are speaking intelligently about. Now i'm very happy I came across this in my search for something regarding this. Thank you for the comment if it is yours! We have finally reached a country in ou...

2017 Summer Highlights

Although it is the last day of July, it is still July so this is a miscellaneous article about some highlights of my summer. I had a great summer break off school and I was able to do many things. The main ones are listed below: Finishing School This is a very frequent happening, but every summer I finally complete my school year. I finished 10th grade this year, and it was extremely tough compared to my previous grades. There were many changes between Jr. High and High School. I had to study harder and had to write longer reports and essays. But 10th grade was also very different from 9th grade. I had even more work to do, and had to apply logical thinking to many of my subjects. This was mostly so in Biology class where application questions were on my tests and exams. I also began to take some notes, and began to use flashcards for both my English and Spanish vocabulary terms. I was glad to be finally done with that school year although I knew that I would be moving on to an...
