Holidays!

December is a fun filled month-- it's full of holidays! There's Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Christmas, New Years (Which isn't exactly a holiday, but it's a fun celebration), and much more! No matter what you celebrate, you always have fun! Although, I celebrate Christmas.  There is a lot you can do to celebrate all these holidays, and they all include family and friends.

Sometimes, during this time, people get stressed and sad, and it doesn't make anything fun. Here are a few tricks you can try to not get in the Holiday Blues.

1. Get some alone time to work on something you need to work on. I need to work on my novel, and I get stressed out if I don't. This is really important.
2. Try to not fight with others. This creates tension, and it makes everyone sad.
3.  Get plenty of rest and relaxation time.

There you go! Some tips to have a fun, happy holiday!

Review of Frozen

Hello, readers! Today I will be talking about the newest disney movie, called Frozen, and what I think of it.
Frozen is about a Kingdom, and in this Kingdom live a king and a queen. They have two daughters, Elsa and Anna, and Anna has amazing ice powers. One day, when the two daughters are both young and playing around with Elsa's Powers, Elsa accidentally hits Anna in the head with ice. She gets injured badly, and the only way to save her is to relieve the memory of Elsa's magic forever. That happens, and after that Elsa hides away so no one will know of her powers, and so they don't get out of control. One day, the king and queen die, so it is Elsa's turn to become queen. On the day they open the gates, Elsa accidentally reveals her powers, and runs away from the kingdom. But as she does, she freezes the whole kingdom. That means it is up to Anna, her sister, to solve the problem, with the help of a few odd friends. But along the way, twists and turns come up! Will Anna be able to turn Winter back to summer? Or will she perish before it happens?

I think this was one of the best Disney movies so far. Interesting plot, sweet characters, and the music was amazing! I would give it 10 out of 10 stars.

What are you waiting for? Go out and watch it!

The End of NaNoWriMo

Today is December first, and that means National Novel Writing Month is over! I hope you all had a good time writing this past November. Actually, I achieved my word count, 30,500 words on the 29th, a day early! I am not quite finished with my novel, but when I am, I will go into revision and editing. Then maybe it will get published! After the 30th, I've created a list of things to do about your novel.

1. Take a break. You have been writing solid for thirty days, and you must be exhausted. Go see a movie, stuff yourself with candy, or sleep for three days straight.

2. If you haven't finished your novel, go back and write until it's finished! You should always finish your work! It'll boost your self esteem. Plus, It will make the next step a whole lot easier.

3. Revise, Revise, Revise! Make sure your ideas make sense and your novel is interesting. Your parents or friends can help you!

4. Edit. Get rid of those nasty typos and punctuation errors.

5. After all of this, if you want to, publish your book. There are a lot of self publishing websites on the web. If you are comfortable, find one, and publish it!

6. Take another big break! Sleep for another two weeks. It will do you good.

You may have heard these before, but they are important!

Happy Writing!
