Hey, everyone! Madeline J. Rose over at Short and Snappy created this challenge where you have to come up with books that are similar to your WIPs. Like "A Time to Die" meets "Wolf by Wolf," for example (just the first two books that came to mind, but OH MY SOMEONE PLEASE WRITE THAT BOOK.) So! Today you get a selection of Comp Titles that are similar to my books!

This won't be all of the books I've written/have ideas for (I came up with a new plot bunny last night, actuallly...haha) but it's going to be fun anyway. I hope.

This was a really fun challenge, but really tough...I will be tagging people, so prepare yourselves for that ;)

Here are Madeline's rules:

• Pick a few (or all!) of your WIPS!
• Give them some comp titles!
• Tag a few peoples if you wish!
• Have fun! 

The King's Daughter// X-Men meets Lord of the Rings meets the Last Jedi

*in Yzma voice* WRONG GIFFY!!!!!

Ink Storm//Fangirl meets Tomorrowland with Unicorns

Alone in this Dark//Wolf by Wolf meets Mockingjay Part 1 meets Man in the High Castle (without sci-fi elements)

White Rose//Les Miserables meets Nazi Germany

Wings//World War I meets The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe meets Game of Thrones (WITHOUT the content!)

Rise, You Lost Boy//Katniss Everdeen meets the Yearling

And the Sky Fell Down//The Refugee Crisis meets Star Wars

Teacher, Meet World//These Happy Golden Years meets The Lost Girl of Astor Street meets Star Wars meets Divergent

I have done it. I have taken this challenge by Mary-Kate and answered all 65 questions. Thanks to Ivie for tagging me to do this challenge XD Seems like a fitting way to break my hiatus, doesn't it? (And yes, I am officially back now. YOU SHALL NOT ESCAPE ME.)

Here are the rules because WHAT IS FUN WITHOUT THE RULES?????


-Link back to MK, because she is apparently the queen of all. 
-Or link back to Lia/Lilah's post because it amused MK. 
-Go comment on MK's post that you did the tag so she can read it and laugh all over again. 
- Answer the questions... wait, that's a rule? So if it isn't a rule, you can do the tag without answering the questions??
- Tag your friends so they hate you. (Muhahahahahah)

37. Workout Playlist?

You all know the drill: Hi, how ya doin, this is Julian's blog series, etc., etc. This is the last post in the Four-Part Writing Special! It's so exciting. But also sad. I have like forty unfinished posts, but I don't know what I'm going to do after this series is done.

Le Questionnes

1. What do you do to get yourself into the story?

2. Do you do anything extra - art, covers, character journals, glossaries, playlists, etc. to help you with your story?

And I make playlists. Here's some of that.

Not sure why, but all of these for some reason are for the Pentegreen series. That must be because I've done the biggest amount of planning for those books. (They are my babies.) And the second one is really ridiculously emotional, so... hence all the sad weeping broken songs.

3. What is your writing process?

Barf a bunch of words onto a computer screen or a notebook and then bury it someplace where I will never have to look at it again.

Heh. Since I've never really gotten past the first draft, this is about accurate.

4. Anything you learned about yourself or your writing you'd like to share?

No thank you.

You want something? Fine.

I have learned that I'm definitely a plantser, but a weird variety. Like I said above, I have to really spend a lot of time getting to know my charries before I can write their story, and I usually write out the majority of their scenes in my head. Then I write the story pretty quickly, comparatively (if I really want to I can write a thousand words in twenty minutes--I don't force myself to do that much, though) and never touch it again.

I have so many issues.

5. What keeps you going when you start to worry you'll never finish?

Sleep, prayer, reading, music, my family telling me that how dare I give up, and sheer grit and refusal to stop writing.

Moving on...

6. What inspired you to start writing?

I wanted to see my book on a real shelf somewhere. I wanted people to like it and genuinely call it their favorite book. There were a lot of reasons, but I think the biggest one is that I couldn't imagine doing anything else. Then I also wanted to make sure the story didn't murder me. Because believe me, if I didn't write it, it would.

7. What author is your writing style similar to?

I'm... honestly not sure.

Having read my stuff, what do y'all think? Tell me in the comments!

8. What writing goals do you set, and how do you reward yourself for reaching them?

I tend to be very productive in April, July, and November for the three NaNo events, because I have a set goal and am very driven to reach it. Most of the other months out of the year (Ouch! There's nine of them!) I tend to piddle around and accomplish very little. I work on setting goals for myself but always go overkill, and it destroys me when I can't reach the goals.

So... for 2018, we're going to set real writing goals. One of them might actually be publishing a real novel by the end of the year, if self-publishing is the path I choose. But they're going to be doable, and real, and I'm going to be proud of myself when I finish them. That's my reward. :)

9. What does a regular writing day look like for you?

Write a few words, piddle around with a blog post, surf Goodreads and Facebook, write some more words, set a timer and really buckle down to it, say "I'm going to get in a thousand words before dinner!" and then get distracted by the internet... Yeah. I need to get rid of internet, somehow. In a way that doesn't destroy my Spotify connection. Because what is writing without Spotify. (see playlists above)

10. How many ideas do you currently have saved on your computer/flash drive?

First of all: I am computer exclusive. I have everything backed up in two separate drives. If I had a flash drive, I would lose it in five seconds. I would lose my own head if it wasn't attached, as they say.

Anyway: How many ideas? Let's look:
NUMBER OF THOSE IDEAS THAT ARE SEQUELS:
An embarrassing 7. I have a problem. A severe problem.

NUMBER OF THESE IDEAS THAT I GENUINELY LOVE AND WOULD WRITE IN A HEARTBEAT IF I COULD:
13. I mean, I love them all, but those ones...

If I write those and share them with the world I will die happy, I think. ^_^

So this is my writing life! As well as the sad end of the Four-Part Writing Special! Be sure to check out everyone else's posts today. We're sad to see it end, but excited to get into writing these stories that we've shared with you!!

What do you think of my writing process? My art? My gifs? My playlists? What's YOUR writing process, if you're a writer, and do you draw? Tell me all the things!!!

I am embarking on a new challenge for the rest of this summer. Each week, I am going to be focusing on incorporating one of the Fruits of the Spirit (Galations 5:22-23) into my daily life, adding one a week. One post a week will be focused on that trait here on my blog. If you want to join me, feel free, and let me know in the comments :)
