Day Thirty

i think what I'm going to do is just start writing about how a certain debate or forensics tournament went what i could do to make my results better at that tournament and why i think some of the judges didn't vote for me, if i don't do that then i don't know what i will use the blog for yet.

Day Twenty Nine

i think its important to show dedication because it not only lets the readers know who helped make the book a success and who kept the reader motivated through out the book.

i chose two people to dedicate my book to my mom for always being there for me on this project and helping me by editing and telling me what was wrong with it, and my grandma just because she always supports me and when i need alone time to just type she makes sure i get that time at her house

Day Twenty Eight

1. life of Petersen- this is significant because it summarizes the whole story because the whole story is about Petersen and his ups and downs, it also shows how well he handles life.

2. German influence- this would be significant because it shows how although some people might be "bad" in Germany Petersen still stays strong and doesn't let it influence him to be bad.

3. Rags to Riches- this could be a good title because Petersen goes from flat broke to $20,000 quick, then after that he becomes the leader of Berlin, which makes him richer.

4.3rd times the charm- this could be considered a title because after hes first two wife's divorce him, and he gets married to the third that's when he becomes rich.

5. Preleading- this could a title because it would show that something happens before he becomes a leader, as in everything that leads up to the climax of him becoming a leader

Day Twenty Seven

everything that i have really learned so far is helping me a lot with typing and connecting the story with real life events and connecting the story to the readers. some things that i need to work on is overcoming my writers block, and commenting on more blogs, also reading Adora's blogs to help me out if they can.

over the past month this blog has really helped me to understand technology better and how professional writers feel when they have writers block which sucks, i think it's great that prier lets us do this not a lot of teachers would have, i also like how he makes some of the kids "teach" which helps us get a good point of view from the student.

Day Twenty Six

what i have learned so far is that I'm not as bad with technology as i thought I've also learned to type faster then before. my main strengths are that when i start writing it just doesn't stop, I'm also in debate so i have learn how to word things to make them understandable. the biggest weakness i have is writers block i cant seem to get out of it. another weakness is that i have a hard time deciding what should be cut out of the story,

if you have any comments that could help me overcome this writers block please tell me!

Day Twenty Five

right now my manuscript is still short so not much to read, anyways its sounds okay when i read it out loud i dont really like it but my siblings do, it flows somewhat but i know i can fix it, the style is third person that way its easier for the kids to understand, it keeps the story understandable for everyone.

Day Twenty Four

the climax i chose is Personal problems overcome by character’s own efforts. because Petersen clearly shows this when he gets the money he needs to get out of poverty. another one that could be used is Greatest challenges met because he overcomes his poorness and becomes rich and famous
