Get lost in a good book. Sometimes the best kind of night is curling up and diving deep into a real page-turner. Stories can take you on adventures without ever leaving your bed, so snag this design on cozy items like blankets, pillows, and more. Now get out there (or stay in) and read! 🏕️"Book Camp" by Katie Lukes

It’s the start of BOOK CAMP! I am so so excited to be racing through Wips together! Here is to chapter one of your future novel, my friend! @urbanteeth

This is a Moodboard based off of the first chapter of Jd’s Wip The             In-between, featuring his character Emmett!

SoI’ve been watching Quantico

and I’ve been wondering...

Do you think FBI Agents talk about their 6 months of basic training the same way service members talk about basic training?

them: so where do you want to get stationed?

Me: If I ever set foot on Parris Island it’ll be too damn soon. Fuck that place.

George Eliot’s Middlemarch is a big influence on my writing; it may be my single favorite book of all time. Sure, the plot is glacial and she’s not the liveliest stylist, but the book is a miracle of characterization. She writes real humans, warts and all, asking that vitally important question, “How do I live this life?” The book also has wonderful world-building. Yes, I realize England exists, but Middlemarch doesn’t. She builds it; she peoples it; she lays it at our feet like a diamond, a complete world, rich and fascinating. That’s my model and my goal: a full world, with people in it.

Rachel Hartman, on her "most influential literary references"

This is just one quote. Google “Rachel Hartman Middlemarch” and you will find more quotes by her about it, including this blog post on her website about the origins of Seraphina. She also mentioned Middlemarch during her keynote speech at Book Camp as an example of world-building and structure and that, even if one doesn't like it, to read it anyway for its structure and study it.

I borrowed Middlemarch shortly after her keynote, the next day in fact, if memory serves me correctly. I'm just reading it now and - I like it so far.

In Our Natural Habitat

In Our Natural Habitat

“And here we see writers in their natural habitat.”

This was a random thought, and then recurred more frequently during the time that I volunteered at my library’s writing and book camp for children and teens. For one week, we went to workshops led by authors and illustrators, while practicing and honing our writing skills. There is so much I could tell, but I would never be finished as I would…

So, I just got home from book camp, but I keep spacing out, and expect to see The dorms and lecture halls of Amherst when I look up. I want to go back.

Some of the stuff that has happened to me a book camp doesn't even sound real. I mean, one of the highlights was when one of my friends wanted to behead me with a sword.
