Blogs I Read

-

Today’s article is being written with a lot of huge news as well. I am not doing National Novel Writing Month, but I did say that I was going to finish writing my novel, and as of November 3rd, I completed it with 43,000 words and a bunch of plot holes. Anyways, I am still excited because it was my first novel, and I finished the first draft. Subscribe for another exclamation of more great news coming to the blogging/writing portion of my life.

Today’s article is about the blogs I read and there are a lot. You may have already seen those on the sidebar of my blog, but here’s an official post about them. Any of the pictures I use are screenshots of those blogs, and will be self-explanatory about which blog each of those are from. Note: The blogs included are by people and not a company. For example, I could have included the blog at http://www.agathachristie.com/, but it is owned by Agatha Christie Limited, a company.

TAJ News Blog

This blog is written by some friends of mine. It includes a bunch of random articles pertaining to life and growing up as a Christian teenager. They don’t post that often anymore, but there are still great former articles that you could read on your spare time.

Intertwining Melodies and Grace Iolene

My friend, Anna (who wrote the guest article I posted two weeks ago and writes at TAJ News Blog also), writes on this blog about her life. I guess life blogging tends to be popular; no offense to anyone who does that. I don’t like life blogging because I would like to keep most of my life to myself (sorry, guys 😊). She has had that blog for many years and posts regularly every Monday. Grace Iolene is a writing blog. Although it is no longer current, there are still some great posts including a character interview. She is really the blogging professional here because she had been blogging for longer than anyone else I know.


Traveling Food Blogger

Jessica (who writes at TAJ blog) writes about her travels and other very interesting events in her life at this blog. She also does a lot of photography so there are hundreds of beautiful pictures from the many places she has been.

The Pioneer Woman


            Ree Drummond, “The Pioneer Woman,” co-writes this blog with other food bloggers. She has an immensely popular Food Network show (called “The Pioneer Woman” obviously) and the greatest recipes my mom and I have ever found. To prove her popularity, people visit her ranch daily and now she has a magazine and is building a small “hotel” for visitors. In this extremely stunning blog, there are food tips from the other bloggers (decorating, sandwich building, knife cuts, etc.), sweepstakes for her brand (which look amazing, by the way), and confessions of her life on a ranch in Oklahoma. If you think I know a lot about her, it’s probably because I do. She is also a food photographer and bestselling young adult and children’s author besides being a blogger and a chef. She is one talented person.

A Writer's Faith

I love this blog because the blogger’s (Katie) ideas for novels are really interesting and her writing schedule never fails to amaze me. There are not as many tips, but there are enjoyable and random articles about writing and characters. She is also a huge Marvel fan and keeps all of her readers informed about Marvel movies. In three days of NaNo, she wrote 16,000 words. And she did it without coffee (because she broke her coffee maker). I am so amazed…

Rebellious Writing

This is a blog written by many Christian bloggers and one Catholic blogger. The point of this blog is to inspire a revolution and dedication against immoral content in young adult novels. Young adult novels are essentially known for inappropriate content that we readers loathe. There is nothing more upsetting than wanting to read a book with amazing plots and characters, but you are turned away by the content. Movies are the same, but this blog focuses on the books. Many of the bloggers are author who are dedicated to producing clean works, and continuing this rebellion. This blog also includes guides of different topics in young adult novels that are imperative to think about before including in any novel.

Reflections of the Heart

This blog is not related to writing or literature, but it is a Christian blog about modesty and other cultural topics including abortion, gender, and dating. Melani (the blogger) has very biblical views concerning how to live in this world that pushes unbiblical agendas. She also explains her opinions very clearly and respectfully.

When Words Fly

Abby's writing blog has a lot of great tips as well as GIFs and references to LEGO Ninjago. I regret to inform all of my readers that as long as someone hypes something passionately enough, I will most likely end up doing the same. That's seriously the only reason I love Star Wars and Marvel today. But her blog got me into LEGO Ninjago although the genre is really not my thing. She does articles on school, writing, and organizing.

Writing is Life and Ivie Writes

These are two other writing blogs I follow. Both Gray Marie and Ivie post at Rebellious Writing also. Both of them change their blog design a lot as well.

            I am going to end this article with a quote that is from Pinterest. It is certainly so true for me, and it doesn’t just apply to fiction books, but even to nonfiction books. Have you ever thought of your history textbook the same way as a fiction book? They do the same things depending on how you look at it all.

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...

Introductions to Israel

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...
