Writing is Like...

I hope you are having a wonderful February! Today I have another writing related post.
(This is not my picture.)


Writing is like... a flower. This may seem weird, but hang with me. I am going to break it into different stages so I don't end up writing this long incomprehensible post. 

The Seed

The seed represents an idea. All of them don't take hold and develop. But the ones that do, turn out beautiful.

 Flower:
So the seed blows off the flower and falls to the ground. It then works its way into the soil. 

 Book:
You get a random thought or idea from another book. Most of the time, the thought stays in your mind.

Watering

Flowers need water to grow wether a person does it or the rain. You don't want to water it too much or it can get washed away.

Flower:
The seed gets watered and starts to grow. You don't see it at first, but it is. 

Book:
This is the pre-writing stage. You put more thought into the original idea and develop it. 

The Sprout

Flower:
The seed starts to break through the ground and develop.

Book:
Finally you're done with pre-writing and ready to move on. You begin writing your amazing idea and it forms into an actual book!

The Fully Developed Flower

Flower:
The seed has fully developed. You can't help but marvel at how a tiny seed turned into a beautiful flower.

Book:
You've finished your novel and it is a stunning piece of work.


I hope you enjoyed the post. Do you have any other analogies that relate to writing? I'd love to hear them!

Until next time,
Jonathan

Highlighting March.

Wow! March has already marched on. *plays "Imperial March" in the background*  I decided to post about my highlights of March. Here are some of my highlights of this month. Track started!! I decided on a beginning for my book.  We celebrated my brother James' birthday.   We got some new chicks. I got glasses. That actually happened in February though. I found a new (to me) author. His name is Wayne Thomas Batson. These are the books I read this month. "The Magician's Nephew" by C. S. Lewis "The Last Ride" by Susan K. Marlow (For the record my sister and I traded books and this is the one I got. Otherwise I wouldn't have read it.) "An Acceptable Time" by Madeline L'Engle (I haven't finished this one yet.)  I listened to some awesome music this month. Here's some of my favorites.    "My Religion" by Skillet (This song is AWESOME.) "Alone" by Hollyn "The River...
