I really liked the whole blogging process when we first started for like the first two weeks. Then after that i started not to like it because it was alot to keep up with. I know people are like how is writing a blog once a day a hassle..? because it is easy to forget when you have all day to things about it, then having to do them on saturdays and sundays where not the best either.

So on that note i will not continue blogging. The only way i probably will continue to blog is if i need to vent or release some anger. I think that this is a better alternative to express personal feelings besides Facebook, because on there everybody be in your business.

I think the dedication page is very important. I think this because it tells who inspired you to write this book and how much they mean to you. It also makes the people who you dedicate it to feel special because they have helped you in your success.

The people i am going to dedicate my book to is God, and Mr. Prier. God because without him i would not even be here to experience theses things. Mr Prier because without him i would have not even thought about doing this whole little blogging and children book thing. But i am glad he did because this has helped a lot with my whole writing abilities. I appreciate it.

I only have two names in mind. I did not know what other names would fit my story besides these. So please if you have any suggestions comment..!

The Puppy and the Girl: I chose this because it is what the story is about. A puppy and a girl. This is very simple and is exactly what the story is about. This title is very simple to another remake of the original story The Frog Prince, The Princess and The Frog.

The Puppy Prince: This is an exact copy from the original title The Frog Prince, just changing around the frog to a puppy to fit my cultural pastiche.

Since this is a free day i am just going to write about my experience on Blurb Book. Last night i was playing around on there and found out a lot of things. You can edit everything on there, change the layout, change the page color, make backgrounds for each page. Also you can put borders around you writing and change the color on that to. You can import pictures that you have taken, made, painted, drawn or edited on there where it says to put pictures.

I really like the whole Blurb Book idea. I never knew i was capable of writing a book. This is a very needing experience that is very good for people who would like to go into the publishing business. Or for people who just like writing.

Now that i am starting my Blurb Book the things that i am learning are that it is not that easy to write a children's book or a folk tale. The people who made these up or wrote these have very good imaginations and i give them their props. I thought before that it was nothing to it. Now i know there are many steps to write a children's book, or at least a successful one.

I think i have came a long way from when we started. I say this because when we first started i was very excited about everything and being on time with everything and did all my work. i had my story all together and ready to write out and make my book then. But as we got further in the process i started falling off and was not o time with the blogs and was not doing what i was supposed to. Now i am back on track and have different thought and more creative ideas about what i want to do with my story and what is going to be in it. If anyone has any ideas about more drama that i can put in my story please comment..Thanks!

My Story sounds really good and flowing. I sort of altered the story and made changes to fit more and make it more interesting to children. My story also made since, this is because unlike any other things we have had in the past i have thought a lot about my story. i thought more about this because i really like making up story for children and being very creative and getting to use my mind for children's enjoyment.

I think that i still need to make more changes and get more of my story done. The changes i think i should make is make a climax and more adventure and mystery to it. I want to make changes like that because my story is sort of dull and goes on and on with out no type of excitement.

i have not thought much about my climax and when it should happen. But know i think is the time where we are supposed to establish all of that. I have two points in my story that can be labeled as the climax of the story.

My story could fit in either of the categories of 6. Relationships made or mended or finally discarded. Or 7. Loyalty Rewarded or punished.
The Relationships made or mended or finally discarded climax will fit in sort of to the end when he turns into a Prince at the Fiesta. This is when a relationship begins because they fall in love and live happily ever after as Prince and Princess.
Also what could go with that is that her friends start getting jealous because she is spending so much time with the puppy not paying them no mind.

The Loyalty Rewarded or Punished climax is when the puppy tells her that their is a reason for why he is having her do these things, also they become closer and she starts having fun and since he can talk she starts to like him a little even though that is weird,
