How to Make a Reaction Essay?

As a student, you possibly will expect that your professor will ask you to reflect on a story or a narrative that you class had tackled. He might also ask you to write a reaction essay regarding the story that you have read. How will you do your reaction essay properly? First, you need to establish your opinions and put up all your ideas. Focus on what you have understood about the story you have discussed. Retell or restate that story on the way you get it. After you have all the concepts and planning, organize your writings. Form your ideas and opinions then give brief summation of your essay. Most importantly, put your thoughts and ideas into writing. Having knowledge of your topic is the key for you to write a good essay. You won’t be able to formulate ideas if you do not have any information about it. If you did not grasp the article, read it all over until you get the picture. Test your writing competence by means of reading the scarlet letter summary then make your own reaction essay and try to polish it. In this way, you are now prepared the next time your professor lets you do an essay.

Read Flash Fiction

Ever since I can remember, I have always been the type of person who loves to sit down with a good book and spend the whole day reading it. So when I started to get into short stories a few months ago, I found that one kind of story I really liked to read was flash fiction. But at the same time, I sometimes found that these kinds of short stories were a little bit difficult to come by. Still, I knew that there were more out there and all I had to do was find it myself. So I ended up going online in search of some of the best flash fiction I could find. Luckily I was able to come across this website at http://www.read-my-stories-online.com/flash-fiction.html, which was perfect and I found so many great stories that I love to read every day right from my computer at home!

How Does a Vanity Press Work?

Creative writing schools will teach you the difference between publishers, and the pros and cons of each press. This post will focus on vanity presses. A vanity press is a publisher who publishes books at the author’s expense. And a partnership means that you are the publisher are splitting the cost. This translates into thousands of dollars. What this means to you and your writing career is the following:

a) you will not receive an advance for your book, and in many cases you will not receive royalties either.

B) the publisher will not spend dollars on marketing your book since you are the publisher’s customer, not the buying public. The only marketing a vanity publisher will do is to try to get you to buy more of your books.

C) your book most likely will not be properly edited. There are a lot of horror stories out there by writers who find lots of mistakes in their book after the book is printed.
