Look, my newest baby! Since it´s too early yet for our summer fragrance and our Cinnamon Stick is almost empty, I gave this one a shot. Peach and lavender seems like an odd combination, but this scent is GORGEOUS!
(I still wanna try the Cherry Blossom one though.)

Oh my god. It’s like if the sun was reborn as a child it’s this little girl.

Day 1 of #februarylibrary17 is TBR
*
I’m a little over half way through War and Peace so I still gotta finish that but this is my plan for the rest of the month. I started The Plantagenets about two years ago at this point but I’m hoping to finally finish it so I can start on the book about the Romanovs I got today. I’m on a bit of a Russian binge currently 😅
I also just posted my review of Heartless on my blog. The link is in my bio if you want to check it out 😄

You could always call it locked hair.
From there, try looking at pictures and coming up with words to describe them for readers. Are the dreads thick, thin, long, short? Compressed, dense? You could also mention a resemblance to plaits or braids (though note dreadlocks are different; do some research)
Here’s a sample description from one of Mod Shira’s books: A Harvest of Ripe Figs (Mangoverse)
He was tall, and broad, and very fat, and he seemed nonthreatening and kind. Shulamit studied his appearance, trying to parse his ethnicity. His skin was the same medium brown as her own and that of her people, but his hair was thick and coarse and pulled into the rough locks that looked like braids but weren’t, like the people to the south whose skin was darker.

Hi guys. I’m going to piss off a lot of YA writers (and possibly readers) today, so hang onto your hats.
Mainly, if you’re in love with the idea of a high schooler with no strategic or combat experience heading up a revolution or war because they’re “so dedicated and determined,” don’t read this. Please, don’t. You’re not going to see anything you like. Go ahead and keep enjoying your guilty pleasure – that’s fine. I’m not going to own up to some of the guilty pleasures I love in fiction but don’t buy for a second in real life. That’s chill. Go for it, man.
But there are just things that I – and readers like me – are tired of seeing. If you’re sick of that trope, then keep reading. If you’re open to the idea of ditching that trope in your writing, then I really recommend reading.
This assessment/collection of tips on why teens shouldn’t run revolutions - and if you’re going to make them, how they CAN do it well - will include comparisons to history, other fiction (Unplugged), and Black Butler. Plus swearing and a range of incorrect capitalizations, because it’s fun.
On we go:

Soooo, exam period has officially started…I´ll have the first “official” one in ten minutes, a second one this afternoon.
Wish me luck!

I found a list of the 17 most common scenes found in screenplays on The Script Lab and it got me thinking that authors can, and do, use all of these when writing novels.
When we write books, we tell a story in scenes (action) and sequels (reaction). I divided the screenplay scenes, with their given definitions, into these two groups.
Although you are not writing a screenplay, these 17 scenes may give you more ideas for creating conflict, and, for making peace, in your plotting.
