Arena

If you're looking for a book with a strong female main character, this is it. In a future world where virtual reality gaming is the new celebrity sport, Kali is one of the few upper echelon female players. But the story isn't about that, and that's one of things I really like about it. It's one small bit of what drives her, but she's not trying to prove a point. Mostly she's just a gamer through and through, doing what she loves and trying to deal with the pressures and demands of the fame it brings. I also like a book with a strong story and character arc, and this one came through, unlike a lot of the other books I've read lately.

642 things to write about.

I have decided to start filling out the book 642 things to write about. I think it would be fun to share some of my answers here.... so that's what I will be doing!
 The first prompt? "What can happen in a second" Here it goes I guess.


Breathe.
Close your eyes and take a deep breath.
Relax.
Life happens every second of everyday and it can be overwhelming.
Don't let it overwhelm you.
Enjoy the little things
Feel the wind on your skin
The sun on your face
Listen
Listen to the trees, the birds, the kids playing.
You only get this second once.
And once you have it, it's gone.



I think this book will be a good way to get me back into writing. Hopefully you enjoy tagging along my random little journey!
