  " Wri ting is easy. All you have to do is cross out the wrong words ." - Mark Twain The hardest thing about writing a book is that it is not published. It's the actual writing. In this article, I offer 10 steps for writing a book. As an author, I can tell you without hesitation that the hardest part of a writer's job is to sit down to do the job. After all, books don't just write themselves. You must invest everything possible to create an important piece of work. For years I dreamed of becoming a professional writer. I thought I had important things to say that the world needed to hear. But when I look back at what it really takes to become an author, I realize how different the process was from what I expected. For one thing, you don't just sit down and write a book. That's not how writing works. You write a sentence, then a paragraph, and maybe, if you're lucky, an entire chapter. The writing is done in fits and starts, with bits and pieces. It

  "Could a dead, frozen heart beat again? It felt like mine was about to." - Midnight Sun , Stephenie Meyer After we were already treated to The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, a prequel to Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games series this year, Stephenie Meyer is also making herself heard with Midnight Sun, a new part in the Twilight series! Edward lands on a rollercoaster of feelings. For Bella, but also about herself. That inner battle is the most interesting thing Midnight Sun has to offer. Will Edward give in to his lust and just slaughter her right away? Too bad, because we already know he doesn't. How does he come to terms with his desire to be close to her, when he knows he should stay away from her? These are interesting questions that don't really get an answer. Except "I love her so much". His morbid fascination with Bella, bordered on the brink of stalking, makes you suspect most of all that you are reading the story of a blood-greedy predator.

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak – review

  "I hated words and I loved them" - The Book Thief , Markus Zusak You may think… "A whole new World War II tale?" However, this book takes an exceptionally unique point and makes certain to give another gander at the war that changed Europe (and the world) until the end of time. Markus Zusak recounts the story through the eyes of a ten-year-old German young lady. It is intriguing how he figures out how to pass on the frightful occasion in basic virtuous pictures. For instance, he portrays German officials who are searching for valuable air-attack cover as "Coatsmen" and planes as "Airplane as Ribcages." Through these practically credulous innocent pictures, Zusak makes it clear how ridiculous and outlandish a war circumstance is.  Be that as it may, any individual who expects an energizing innocent war story will be disillusioned. The Book Thief isn't a grouping of energizing occasions that you may expect in a war novel. It is an anecdote ab
