Two books I have read this month...

I read two books this June, one called "The Maze Runner" (by James Dashner) and the other called "Deadweather and Sunrise" (by Geoff Rodkey). You should read them if you haven't already.

The Maze Runner is the first in a series. It sucked me right in and I spent hours at a time reading it. It took me about 4 or 5 days to read it. Check it out if you haven't already. (I'm going to read the second one as soon as I can!)

Deadweather and Sunrise is the first in a series and was very recently published, and I got sucked into it as well and it only took me 2 days to read it. (Might have to write a book review, it's new) (The second book isn't coming out for a year!)

Camp NaNoWriMo: Survival

Camp NaNoWriMo has begun! I'm participating in August.

For those of you who don't know what NaNoWriMo is, it's "National Novel Writing Month," and it's every November. You have to write a novel in one month, and there's a word-count goal you have to get to to win. And now there's also NaNoWriMo in June and August!

Here is the plan to help you get through NaNoWriMo, or, to be exact, Camp NaNoWriMo.

1. Devote time to it. If you have a busy schedule, you'll need to put NaNoWriMo in it for at least 2-3 hours.
2. Don't be distracted. Do not let yourself be distracted from your writing. Focus only on the novel, not computer games, Facebook, Twitter, or anything else.
3. Keep it up. If you want to become a published author one day, you can't give up. I'm not saying that you'll publish your NaNo novel, but still, you can't give up.
4. Stretch. You can't just sit for two or three hours and type. You'll need to get up at least once and take a quick, relaxing walk to refresh your mind.
5. Play music. I love playing music when I write.

Hope these help, and good luck!
