As you know, I usually spend all day working on the fire-up and not having much time to write. Since I do lots of research on the response to the fire-up, my genre that I like to write the most is Non-fiction. I love cold, hard facts that you can trust. To me, sometimes I like a little mystery in what I am reading, but when I set the stage for everything myself, I like things to be truthful. I love doing lots of research on specific topics that I am interested in. My previous snapshot was where I close-read a famous quote from Abraham Lincoln: “We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses” . To further explore this genre of writing, I think that I will do lots of research on topics that interest me, and write about them. I also find the concepts of blogs very interesting. I will do more research on what a blog is, and what information is in one. Once I have done my research about blogs, I will decide whether it would be worth it for me to start a blog or not. If I don’t start a blog, I will continue with my own separate research on topics that I like. If I decide to create a blog, I will focus on writing in it instead.

Today I did some research on my favorite writer Stephen king the best horror writer ever. I have been reading his writing for a while. I learned that a great way to start a horror book is to start explaining the setting first and the people. Then have it start to turn scarier on and on and the get to the problem and then have it get worse then find the solution then end.

I learned that fiction has a world and characters that isn't necessarily the same as ours the the characters fit in well. I also learned that fiction has a lot to do with one character wanting something and how they are changing along the way

I am writing an epistolary novel, with the genre being, of course, epistolary. It is a really hard for me to write it, since there aren’t really conventions of an epistolary book. The main rule is to have it just written in letters (like mailed letters). Instead of reading about conventions, I will need to read part of a mentor text to understand how the author wrote the epistolary book. I looked at this website: https://books.google.com/books/about/The_Screwtape_Letters_Annotated_Edition.html?id=aSj_-mgwWbYC&printsec=frontcover&source=kp_read_button&hl=en#v=onepage&q&f=false

This book was called The Screwtape, and is an epistolary novel written by C. S. Lewis. I noticed a few very interesting things when reading this, including the length of the letters. Each letter was a good page or 2 in length, which also shows the detail that has to be in each letter. I noticed myself a couple of times forgetting that this was a letter because of how detailed and present it seemed. I think that will be something I should try to do, making it really present (make it seem like it is happening now), and making it super detailed. The reason I think he/she did this is because it gives the story more of a plot. The author also included dialogue in the letters, still giving the reader multiple dimensions, which is important to keep them on their toes. Overall, I learned/inferred that when you are writing an epistolary book, you have to write lots of emotions and details in your letters to give the story multiple dimensions and a developable plot.

I am writing poems and greeting cards and I learned that you really should just go with the flow and let your heart do all of the work because if you think too much then you will over think, and then you won’t have a good, beautiful, heartfelt poem. After you let your heart do all of the work, then you can go in and think about words that would fit better but until then, let your heart do it first.

When I searched Realistic Fiction on Google, I saw some of my favorite books that I didn’t even know were Realistic Fiction! Like Wonder, Stargirl, Fangirl😍, Paper Towns😍😍, and We Were Liars. I didn’t think Wonder was a realistic reaction. I thought it was a nonfiction! Everything in there can happen in real life.

Googles difinition of Realistic Fiction~Definition of Realistic Fiction. Realistic fiction is a genre consisting of stories that could have actually occurred to people or animals in a believable setting. These stories resemble real life, and fictionalcharacters within these stories react similarly to real people.

I know I said a few days ago that my story was JUST realistic fiction, but it turns into fiction. My story is based off of Alice In wonderland, just a little twist to it.

Crime fiction                                                                                                  I learned first off how to write crime fiction and how to make crime fiction interesting to read. Crime fiction is pretty self explanatory. It literally is someone committing a crime then the protagonist has to find out who did it in a fictional world. There are three types of crime fiction. A cozy mystery ( something that takes types of thing in stories like action scenes and makes it more cozy or enjoyable) , locked room mystery (something commits an  impossible crime) and last but not least a whodunit ( literally a who did it)

My learning of the world of my genre - “REAL people , places , and events.”

From my eye I have learned about non fiction is that when writing non fiction it has to be based on a true statement. If you are writing a not true statement it is a fiction story.

There's nothing really new to learn about fiction but I did learn something new which is fiction most people think that everything is fake when it comes to fiction yes this is mostly true and not some "fiction" might be real it's rare that its true but it can happen.

Personal Narrative: A personal narrative tells a true story of something that happened to you. It's a story of something that has happened in your life.  An example is: When I was 5 years old I got a dog named Toby, he is the sweetest puppy out there, now he is 7 years old.

Today we have to do research on the genre that we are writing about.

I am doing research on the genre, fantasy. It is one of my favorite genres. Fantasy is an awesome genre that usually takes place in a made up universe. If it isn’t in a made up universe and it is on earth (an example is Harry Potter), then there are probably made up creatures or there could be magic, or both. In my opinion, fantasy is one of the best genres EVER. It is even better if it is fantasy and action/adventure, because that is definitely the BEST combination. At least, it is in my in opinion. Anyway, Fantasy is awesome, I hope I taught you more about it. Bye.

As said before, I am reading/writing Fantasy, Action, and Romance. (I’m not reading Romance though.) I’m not really sure on what I am going to do today. Maybe I’ll do some research on my favorite author? Maybe I’ll continue reading ‘The Silmarillion’ but pay closer attention to the way the author does things.  I think I might look in the back of the book, where it talks about the languages used in the book, family trees, and more.

Before I go, I have a quick question:

What genre would books or comics about the Apocalypse fall into? Such as ‘The Walking Dead’ comic books. I think it would fall into Sci-Fi but I’m unsure.

Since The Giver is sci-fi, sci-fi is the genre I’m writing, since I’m turning The Giver into a series. Sci-fi usually contains futuristic stuff, like other planets and futuristic technology. I’m pretty sure that in 1892, the Titanic was Science Fiction. Science Fiction becomes Realistic Fiction each day. Realistic Fiction is a story that is not real, but could happen in real life. I guess that by 2129, The Giver will be Realistic Fiction. I came up with all this myself.

I am going to further my learning of what I am reading and writing in many ways. I am writing an argument so I need to do a lot of research to make my argument very strong. I also have been reading many arguments, and I have gotten a lot out of looking at other people’s arguments. For example, I finally found the perfect structure for my argument.
