This is a collection of essays where I will describe the power of writing and its subtle consequences on our generation. I will discuss optimal writing skills and techniques, as evident in modern bestselling series and trilogies such as Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Divergent, The Hunger Games, Lord of the Rings, etc., and contrast them to poor writing habits that aspiring authors should avoid, while presenting thematic lessons on the way.

Losing Game {Peeta Mellark}
"I've spent all of the love I gave, we were always a losing game." Calliope Whittmore never knew the feeling of true heartbreak until she was wrapped in the arms of her childhood best friend as they said their final goodbyes. It was a long and quiet hug, she could feel the boy shaking in her arms but she had to be strong for him. "You can do this, Peeta," she assured him, "I know it." They pulled from the hug, Calliope gently held his face as she wiped away Peeta's tears. "24 of us go in and only 1 comes out," his voice shook. "And that 1 will be you. I know it. I'm rooting for you, Peeta Mellark." Peeta Mellark X OC #3 in Peetamellark 01/01/25Complete

Quotes Part 3
Same as the other two, these are a few of my own favorite book series and I don't own any of them! None of the art is mine literally if you want to find it search the name of the character and fan art. Example, percy jackson fan art. Yes I lower case the letters because I'm lazy. But some names I just do first names.Complete
