Benny’s Adventure

ship in rough waters

The story Benny’s Adventure by Ben Andrews is filled with action, adventure, comedy and some romance mixed in. The beginning was slow and regular, nothing interesting happening. It was very hard to get into.

However despite the slow beginning, the story itself was a wonderful read. There were so many twists and turns this book took that it was unpredictable, which began to make me more and more curious about what was going to happen next. Eventually the level of drama reaches an impressively high point.

The conclusion of the story was great. It warmed my heart as I read it. It was filled with family, friendship and romance.

Creature of 24th Street Review

The book Creature of 24th Street by Abigail Thorn was a good book. It was thrilling, romantic, and dramatic. I honestly couldn’t put it down. The way the writer wrote the scenes, the people, and the action, I felt as if I were actually there.

The beginning was actually very eventful. As I started reading my interest was piqued immediately. It was light hearted at first but as the story continued it seemed to get much more dark and eerie. There were times when I thought the mood was too grim to keep reading.

Of course, it wasn’t just all thrills. The story also carried romance within its pages.

The plot was also very creative and “out there.” You’d know that things that happened in the book could never happen in reality, but deep down you’d be thinking that someday they could be possible. What then?

The book had an interesting conclusion. It was filled with sadness and relief but also the uncertainty and paranoia that everyone in the book felt. The conclusion was probably the most stressful part in the book.

Creature of 24th Street is the kind of book that keepsyou at the edge of your seat. Out of a one to ten scale, I’d give this book a ten. To those who enjoy thrillers, read at your own risk. If you dare.

Angelica’s Diary

Posted on

Angelica’s Diary written by Angel Hollow made my emotions run high. The plot was well thought out; you could tell that the author put a lot of time and effort in writing this book.

The conclusion was at the same time expected but unexpected. It was expected because all of the evidence seemed to point to it, but it was unexpected because there seemed to have been some evidence that pointed toward a different ending.

As I read Angelica’s Diary, the characters seemed to have come to life. I felt as if I was reading a life story as I read the book. As I read the book I got the feeling that the author knew what she was writing about as if she herself experienced it. I have actually started to question if this book is fiction as we have been led to believe.

How to Start a Story

Some people will tell you to writean outline so you know what you are going to write. However, even though it’s nice to know what you are going to write, I honestly don’t do that.

I believe an outline is too restricting. When you make an outline, you are expected to stick with it, but as you write your ideas change and you think of new and better ways to improve their story.

That’s why I write what’s in my head. In other words, I let my imagination go wild. I tried the whole outline thing with a story once and I didn’t end up following it at all. In fact, I’d say only one chapter actually followed my outline and I’m pretty sure that’s because I wrote it before I made the outline.

The only problem with not writing down ideas is that if you let your imagination go wild and you have an idea, you may forget it. That has also happened to me on numerous occasions.

So, these are my tips on how to start a story. First, if you don’t think that your ideas will change then make an outline so you know what you are gonna write. Second, if you think your ideas may change then let your imagination go wild so the ideas can flow freely.

Just make sure you know the cons of these tips because when there are pros there will always be cons.

I hope this helped. Good luck with your story.

Best Way to Write Fight Scenes

If you are having trouble writing action scenes for your story then you should do the following.

Try watching some TV, namely an action film or a show that has many fighting scenes. By watching other people’s fighting scenes, you will be inspired and learn details about how people fight.

Another method is to read stories that have a lot of action, such as an adventure book. By reading those kinds of stories you will get ideas about how action scenes are written.

The final advice I can give you is to listen to the right mood music, maybe some rock music. Rock music is used in action scenes in television shows and movies so it works. You would be surprised how you will just imagine the scenes in your head once you listen to the appropriate music.

You can type down the scenes while listening to the music, or afterward. Either way you will have your fighting scenes written in no time flat.
