The Page Series: Page One- An introduction

Hey guys. As you can tell from the title of this blog post, I am going to be discussing something completely out of the ordinary. You guessed it, I'm going to be talking about writing (Totally original huh? No, not really lol). I figured it was time to bring myself as an adult and discuss my writing journey with you all. Of course, I am going to be continuing on with the book reviews, but I also wanted to spice things up a bit on here. So I hope this series will help you guys and possibly laugh at another writer struggles to get possibly published one day. I want it to be a fun experience for all of us and yeah.. I dunno.

Anyway, this blog series is mainly writing focused. It involves story writing, screenwriting, prompt writing, or whatever the heck else is involve with writing. I will be doing the page series every Friday to keep it simple and fun. If you guys have any suggestions, let me know through any social media or in the comments below. I want us all to create the books that the future generations will read and express themselves with. It will keep the inspiration for all things creative fresh and open minded.

I hope you guys stick around for this series and I'll see you guys on Monday with a hopefully a book review. Happy Howling my fellow wolves!

I remember a few years ago that my mother gotten me this book to read. Thinking that it was a zombie book, I decided not to read it mainly because I'm not a huge fan of zombies in novels. (due to the over popularized books/shows/movies of the creature of the un dead). But since I started my job a couple of weeks ago, I decided to give a chance and man I wish I could slap my past self in the face for being stupid with books. This collection of short paranormal stories kept me on my feet and interested with each page that was turned.

The stories were a weird thing since they were pretty long. I honestly couldn't understand most of the stories that were being told, but as I gotten to the end they were about mainly ghosts, murderers, and the psychological aftermath with the families and individuals that were telling the story. Out of all stories in this book, my top favorite one was Bad Things by Libba Bray. Her story in particular was the one I was most curious about because it was about a young man and his friends trying to figure out what's causing the rise of the satanist rituals and mysterious deaths of other people. The way it was written was a page turner since it felt like you were looking at another thriller and you think that everyone was gonna die at the end, however that wasn't the case. The ending of this short story was very amazing and I was pleased with the way she wrote it as a twist.

With this book, I was pleased with the authors that wrote the ten short stories in this. I was able to understand the concept of some supernatural fiction and the methods of writing longer short stories without chapters. If you guys are aspiring paranormal writers like I am, then pick up this book to explore new authors if you haven't heard of these guys before. :)

Happy Howling!
