    Review: Sophie & Carter by Chelsea Fine

Both of them are best friends and they both look forward to each night when they would sit on the porch swing and share each other’s company.I liked the way the chapters alternates between Sophie and Carter’s point of views. Both of them have their own fonts,…See More

    Writer’s zone

              When I start to really get into writing a story I go into what I call a ‘writer’s zone’ where all distractions are muted. Time slips away and my surroundings blur into the images in my mind. This is creating something from nothing at its finest.           There is no television show or video game that can compare to playing with characters and scenes inside my own mind.
