Thinking About... DIY Truffula Trees!

 

Hey everybody! I've been really interested in these Truffula trees from the movie the Lorax for a long time :). Awhile ago I found a DIY project where you can make them yourselves! I was so excited! The link to the project is below the picture.

Check it out:

I want to make these trees so badly for some reason:)! When I get the chance to, I'll have to post pictures on the blog.

 

 

 

 

 

Here is another picture of the DIY project I found on Pinterest.

I think the blue is my favorite. What color would you choose?

 

Here are terrariums with Truffula trees!

Thinking About... Helpful Resources For Writers!

Hey everybody! I wanted to share a few websites that I have found helpful for writing.

 Here is they are:

 

 

http://creativitygames.net/random-word-generator This website generates a random word (or more). You could use the word as the start of a book, chapter, thought or an idea. It is also just fun to play around with :).

 

 

 

 

 

http://www.writingeekery.com/ I haven't searched into this website very much but it looks very informative and helpful. MJ Bush, the author of the site is a full-time writing coach, editor, and fantasy writer.

 

 

 

 

 



http://character.namegeneratorfun.com/ This website will give you a complete list of a random character's personality, ethnicity, and name. This is also just fun to play around with :).

Here is a shortened example:

"My character's name is: Kylee Hansen

She is a European American female.

Personality: The Actor.

INFP: Introvert Intuitive Feeling Perceiving." 

http://www.thesaurus.com/ I use this website all of the time for synonyms of words. It also has interesting facts like word of the day, word facts and word trends.

http://www.top-100-baby-names-search.com/index.html This is a great website to get character names from. I've used this source multiple times for my characters and find it very helpful. There are categories like names by country, unique names, medieval names etc...

https://wordcounter.net/ I also use this website all of the time to tell me how many words are in my story. It is very helpful and can show you the key word density, average sentence words, and reading level of your writing.

Hope this helps!

Have a great day!

Thinking About... Painting Pottery

 

Hey everybody! I went out last week to a pottery painting place and made a mug.

Here are the results:

 

These are all my painting supplies.

 

It took a long time to paint but the finished product was definitely worth the work :)!

This is how it came out after the kiln!

 

I'm really happy with how it looks in the end.

 

 

 

Here is a happy quote to finish this post :)

Thinking About... Jurassic World!

 
 

Hey everybody! I just watched Jurassic World and it was AMAZING! The story is about two brothers, who travel to their Aunt's amusement park, Jurassic World. The movie is full of adventure and suspense. The dinosaurs were very realistic and terrifying :)! I really enjoyed watching it, and hope you will check it out too!

 

 

 

"Twenty-two years after the events of Jurassic Park, Isla Nublar now features a fully functioning dinosaur theme park, Jurassic World, as originally envisioned by John Hammond. After 10 years of operation and visitor rates declining, in order to fulfill a corporate mandate, a new attraction is created to re-spark visitors' interest, which backfires horribly." - www.imdb.com
