RTW -- In the Yearbook

I haven't gone insane, I know that today is Tuesday and this post is for Road Trip Wednesday. But tomorrow is the Fourth of July and I take holidays off blogging so I'm doing this one a day early. 

Road Trip Wednesday is a ‘Blog Carnival,’ where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question that begs to be answered. In the comments, you can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic.

This Week's Topic: 
What yearbook "most" category (also known as superlatives) would your character win?
 
When I was in school, I won "Most Shy Girl." Which was kind of funny because I wasn't actually the shyest girl in school, I was just the most well-known shy girl. Troy and Helena would probably both be voted "Most Shy." They'd also definitely be in the running for "Cutest Couple."
If there was one that said "Most likely to become a bestselling author of fantasy novels" that would be Troy. He would also probably win "Biggest Gamer." 

Helena's trickier. If there was one for "Best fluency in multiple languages" she might have that one. She's fluent in English and Spanish, and knows enough Japanese to get by. If she started playing sports, she might have a shot at "Most athletic."

Miranda would take "Most likely to move away." Warren would get "Loudest." Denise would win "Most likely to become a doctor." 

Can't wait to see everyone's responses tomorrow!

Great superlatives. I love cute couples. Not gross, groping in the hallway couples. My school did have a "Most likely to be a Bestselling Author" one year. Great Job!

i love this. (i also won "quietest," which was our equivalent of "most shy," because i was the most well-known quiet person. and probably also the *loudest* quiet person. :)

I wish my school had had the best-selling author category, because that one probably would've been me. I was known for always writing during class :)

RTW: First Quarter Check-In

Road Trip Wednesday is a ‘Blog Carnival,’ where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question that begs to be answered. In the comments, you can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic. This Week:  Quarterly check-ins! We're already 1/4 of the way through the year--where are you on your reading and writing goals? Where did the time go??  Reading Goal: 100 books  Where I should be: About 16 Where I am: 5  Clearly it is not going very well. In my defense, I did finish up A Clash of Kings in January and read A Storm of Swords in February. I'm hoping to do some catch up reading over spring break and then really get trucking when summer rolls around. I'm probably getting A Feast for Crows this week, though, so we'll see how long that lasts.  Writing I didn't set any writing goals for this year, other than just to keep writing. My writing kind of dropped off last sem...

RTW -- Picking Titles

Road Trip Wednesday is a "Blog Carnival," where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question and answer it on our own blogs. You can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic. This Week's Topic: How do you pick your titles? I don't really have a secret for picking titles. Basically my method is to wait until something pops into my head that sounds good to me. Sometimes that title might not even really fit the book or feel exactly right, but to me it's just a working title until I think of something better. Burning Bridges was the first thing to pop into my head when I started the first draft and needed something to name the folder. I don't know why it popped into my head because I don't really see a connection between the book and the title, but it's stuck through every one of the three drafts. Lately I've been toying with the idea of changing it to Once Bitten, Twi...

Monday Updates: July 29

This is my last Monday Updates post. As of next Monday, I'm going to start up my college tips weekly blog on Mondays, since it's almost the school year.  Song of the Week: Here's to Us by Halestorm How's Life? Well, there are only two days left in July and I'm still trying to figure out where the rest of my summer went. Seriously, it can't almost be August, can it? How's TV?  Watched the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on Friday. There was a point in the middle where I wanted to just stop because I didn't want the series to end. It was a fantastic finale, definitely one of my favorites. Now I'm trying to decide which on my long list should I watch next. Silver Linings Playbook is an amazing movie. I already knew Jennifer Lawrence was a fantastic actress but she still managed to surprise me. Taken 2 isn't nearly as good as the first one, but it's a decent movie overall.  How's Reading? Books read: 0 I'm no...
