Post 1

Hello again everyone!

So, if you did not see the giant badge on my first post, I am participating in the Student Blogging challenge! Yay! The challenge for this week is to create, or update your about page, make an avatar, and to connect with other students. After I am writing this blog I am going to go comment on two blogs, and as you may know my first blog post is my about me thing. So for my avatar, i went to avatarmaker.com and here is my avatar:

Ta Da!

Okay, now that the student blogging challenge for the week is taken care of I am now going to go over a quick writing tip.

Write What You Want to Read

You heard me; write what you want to read. Don’t write something about magical princess fairies, if you like historical biologys. You won’t know how to write the genre. It is not going to go well. Write something you would read instead. Now, I know writing for the market is a thing. You find out what’s selling at the moment and write to that. In my opinion, that’s not the smartest thing to do. You might spend months of work and research on the topic that’s on the market, and when you are almost done with said book it may not be on the market anymore and months worth of writing all went to waste. But for some people writing to the market works! And if it does, good on you buddy! But for most people it doesn’t work out well. Stick with what you know and love. For me, I write fantasy, and things with magic, because that’s pretty much all I read. I read fantasy, and other worlds and creatures, so I write about fantasy, and other worlds and creatures. Make sense? Okay, good.

Well, that’s all I really have for this post. Be sure to come back sometime for my next post, and hopefully I can set up a more even schedule for my posting soon. Thanks for reading, have an awesome day my guys, girls, and nonbinary squirrels, cya!

About the Author

My name is Alex Braley, and I am a teen author. I am currently working on many books and series, (none published yet), and I am writing a series to help teens and young adults help go through things like: Mental Illnesses, deaths, physical illnesses, disabilities, bullying, etc. It is a fantasy series, where the main character, Patton, travels through your wonderland to learn your story and help others who are going through the same thing, or something similar. If you want to help out with that, just send me an email at annaeb9@gmail.com and we can chat. If you have any questions send me an email or comment on a post. Have a great day!
