Hey guys, I wanted to drop in and let everyone know that I created this account in 2013, and I was 13 years old when I made this "rant book". Long story short, I was a little kid and this is embarrassing af but it's memories so I'm not going to delete it. Just don't judge how bad this is xx

Writing a novel is like being in a hospital with a dying friend. Your characters come out as dying cows, your plot like jelly, your setting like a blind man. 

 80% of women will think to themselves, "Hey, I am going to write a novel!". 50% of those women will attempt to start writing it. Only 1% actually go through with it. Let me tell you I completely understand why because I might one of those fifty percent if I don't vent.

This "book" is about what it is like to write a novel. Whether it is the burning of the novel because it never listens to what you say, or the happiness of it being time to go so you can have an excuse to not edit the book, I will most probably talk about it.

No, I am not a published author. No, I am not a professional writer. But, yes, I do know what it is like to want to publish your work.

So, let's you and me walk through the stupidity of our characters and the stubbornness of punctuation. And, of course, the joys of being a writer *note the sarcasm*.

Let's face it, writing is hell.

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . . ***** After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
