Hey everyone,
          I'm going to apologize I know its been over several months, and I haven't even finished reading the first book of the contest I'm hosting. I thought that I would be able to get it done before summer ended, but I ended up focusing on my Calculus and Analytical Geometry course to bump up my GPA. This semester, unfortunately, I'm taking Human Anatomy, and literally the first day we started taking notes on Chapter 1. 
          
          No reading over the syllabus just straight into the material.
          
          It's a very fast pace course and we are three weeks in, and I'm suppose to be on Chapter 5 of the textbook.
          
          Because of this it's getting almost impossible to log in and check in on wattpad.
          
          I haven't given up though. I said I was going to finish this contest and I will. I now have to find a way to squeeze reading at the very least one chapter a day for the stories in the contest.
          
          For now though I did find this article on Now Novel; I think it's interesting (check it out):

That's it I'm done, all my finals are over, and tomorrow I'm officially back on Wattpad.  But for now goodnight.

One more day then my finals will be over!

“MG literature explores how a character finds the world, and YA literature examines how the world finds a character.”

Just this week and next week, then I'll be off of school. 
          
          I apologize to the 10 finalist and theDEsnow who I was reading and giving critiques to on Valenchore and suddenly stopped. I got super busy with school and I have a presentation to do and my finals are literally next week. But this is also good news because I'll have nothing to do after this week and next week.
          
          Which means I'll have hours to read your stories and give you all great advice without being distracted by school.

          Unless you have an essay due at midnight, then you're screwed.

          For those of you who want to publish a book one day, here is how you format a novel manuscript.

“I have grown fond of semicolons in recent years…. It is almost always a greater pleasure to come across a semicolon than a period. The period tells you that that is that; if you didn’t get all the meaning you wanted or expected, anyway you got all the writer intended to parcel out and now you have to move along. But with a semicolon there you get a pleasant little feeling of expectancy; there is more to come; read on; it will get clearer.” -Lewis Thomas
