As much as I adore the #Gone series, there aren't that many memorable quotes for me, simply because it's written more for younger kids in my opinion. 👧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But every once and a while you get a comedic gem like this. 🤗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bookstagram #books #bookshelf #bookstagrammer #fiction #fictionbooks #fictionwriter #author #writer #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #yafiction #youngadultbooks #youngadult #youngadultfiction #youngadultbook #youngadultlit #youngadultbooksgram #youngadultreads #youngadultnovel #youngadultliterature #youngadultseries #hungergames #thehungergames #divergent #writerblog #quotes #quotestoremember

For this week’s photography post, I wanted to show off a portrait series I did right when President Trump was elected. 🇺🇸 I asked people to give me one word about how they felt about it, and then tried to represent that in each image. 📷 The captions below are in the order the photos are shown! 👇Thanks so much to everyone who was a part of it! 💜 1️⃣ "I'm enraged because Trump is unqualified, incompetent and won based on lies and scapegoating." 2️⃣ "I'm unsettled because his hateful rhetoric is empowering his supporters to verbally attack those who they think are 'illegal.' 3️⃣ "I'm upset because I still can't believe that we as a country elected someone who so blatantly discriminates against minority groups." 4️⃣ "I'm scared because I don't want to be beat up in the bathroom." "I'm silenced because our president only sees women as pieces of meat. 5️⃣ "I'm silenced because our president only sees women as pieces of meat." 6️⃣ "I'm suspicious because Trump's administration exudes shadiness. There is plenty of reason to believe they're not being forthcoming with Russian ties and other matters." . . . #photographer #photography #photography📸 #photography📷 #photojournalism #photography_lovers #photojournalist #photojournalismphotos #portraitphotography #portrait #portraits #photo #documentaryphotojournalism #photooftheday #photographyislifee

A super long old-school poem, but one I really liked when I studied it for the first time. 😎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Again--and I can't emphasize this enough--I am addicted to rhyme and rhythm. 🎶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #poetry #poet #creativewriting #poetrycommunity #poetsofinstagram #poetscommunity #poetryclub #poetofinstagram #poetrylove #poetsofinsta #poetcommunity #bookstagram #books #bookshelf #bookstagrammer #fiction #fictionbooks #fictionwriter #author #writer #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #writerblog #quotes #quotestoremember

While it's not YA, and it may be cliche to say... #TheGreatGatsby is my favorite classic. 📖 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I also think it has the best final line in all of literature. 🤭Yes, I said that. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ While I probably like other final lines better because they make me more emotional and I'm more connected to their story, I think this quote is so perfectly written that it can be great standing on its own. ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How about you? . . . #bookstagram #books #bookshelf #bookstagrammer #fiction #fictionbooks #fictionwriter #author #writer #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #yafiction #youngadultbooks #youngadult #youngadultfiction #youngadultbook #youngadultlit #youngadultbooksgram #youngadultreads #youngadultnovel #youngadultliterature #youngadultseries #hungergames #thehungergames #divergent #writerblog #quotes #quotestoremember

#PaperTowns was the second of @johngreenwritesbooks to become a movie, and I also didn't read it until way late in the game. 🤭 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I did read it before the movie came out, but this quote never stuck out to me until I saw it in the trailer. 🎥 I just found it so powerful and badass written on the wall in the abandoned building that it quickly became my favorite quote from the book. 📚 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ (Also I picked a good font, just saying.) . . . #bookstagram #books #bookshelf #bookstagrammer #fiction #fictionbooks #fictionwriter #author #writer #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #yafiction #youngadultbooks #youngadult #youngadultfiction #youngadultbook #youngadultlit #youngadultbooksgram #youngadultreads #youngadultnovel #youngadultliterature #youngadultseries #hungergames #thehungergames #divergent #writerblog #quotes #quotestoremember

This weeks 🆕blog post is all about writing with yourself as the protagonist. Do you do it?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I write in first-person because I like to live in my stories. I consider myself the protagonist because I want to be a part of the worlds I create. 🌎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That by no means means I'm the only one who gets to be the main character. The whole point of first-person is for the reader to step into the shoes of the protagonist... 👠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ...It's just a fun way to write as if you were in it, am I right? 💃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👆To check out the blog post, click the link in my bio! 💜⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bookstagram #books #bookshelf #bookstagrammer #fiction #fictionbooks #fictionwriter #author #writer #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #yafiction #youngadultbooks #youngadult #youngadultfiction #youngadultbook #youngadultlit #youngadultbooksgram #youngadultreads #youngadultnovel #youngadultliterature #youngadultseries #hungergames #thehungergames #divergent #writerblog #quotes #quotestoremember
