                    Top five tips I learned since I started writing   Hello, my amazing unknowns! How are you guys? Today I have decided to give you guys some tips that will help you in your writing journey. I want to add that I have been writing for nine months and wrote three books (one that hasn't been published). Now, that I am about to finish "Runaway", I can say that I have gained some experience. I have done tons of mistakes that hurt me but I learned to accept them and keep writing. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Be careful when you chose the platform you want to upload on When I first got into writing and decided to publish my first book on Reedsy Discovery but I didn't know exactly how the platform worked. I put it on the site, paid their fee ($50), and one week before the book went live on the website I received this email- F...

               SAFETY ON THE INTERNET FOR TEENS                                                         -By Joane Unknown Hello people! Today, I am going to talk about safety on the internet for teenagers. I am 13 years old, almost a teenager. I have an account on any social media platform and I personally am exposed to a lot of dangers on the internet. I want adults, parents and children, and teens to read this post and take seriously everything I am going to say. I am going to show you the dangers, my personal experiences, and how to stay safe on social media and the internet. I got my first phone when I was six, in 2014. Internet is and has always been a dangerous place but when you are an innocent child it gets ten times more dangerous. I didn't have many special events but I clearly remember getting phone...

                                                Sold                                                                      -Patricia McCormick Hey guys! How are you all doing? I hope everyone is doing fine! Today, I have decided to do a book review, and tell you guys my opinion about this amazing book I finished twenty minutes ago. I started reading this book yesterday and finished it today, so you can see I was excited to finish it.  The book is about child trafficking and prostitution for underage girls. The story starts with 13-year-old Lakshmi who was sold to work as a housekeeper in India but ends up in the "Happiness House" where she is forced to prostitute to earn money. Mumtaz, her bos...

            REVIEWING MY FIRST EVER SHORT STORY Hey guys! What are you doing? I hope everything's alright, and everybody is doing okay. Today, I have decided to go back some months ago. I started writing on the 16th of December 2020, almost eight months ago. I started off by writing short stories on Reedsy Prompts. It started as a "why not?". Now, I stopped writing stories to focus more on my books. It became stressful after a while because the people from reedsy would send you a topic and different prompt to write on a Friday evening and you had one week to finish it, until next Friday. You must have between 1k-3k words, and it was hard at the beginning especially when you were given a certain story to write. The thing with these prompts was a prize, a $50 dollar prize for the one who won the prompt. I have never won one, and it is better because it was stressful and I would be very sad and disappointed if I wouldn't win.  The first story was called "...

                 MY CAMBRIDGE B1 EXAM EXPERIENCE Hello people! I am back with a new episode of "UNKNOWN TALKS"! Before we start I want to thank you guys for reading what I am writing here on my blog. My latest post, the one with our society was really appreciated and I am glad it was this way!  So, the story with my B1 exam started one year ago, when I started training for it. It was my first ever Cambridge exam. As time went by, I was getting better and better at doing those practice tests and exercises. I want to add that I was training with a private tutor, and no that is not a fad, it is just extra help. I have one of the best English tutors in the world. She knows me since I was ten years old, not knowing the smallest bit of English and she made me speak and write English at an amazing level. I have been doing extra English classes for almost three years, and she made me love English! Back to our story, I was supposed to have the ex...

                             THE BROKEN SOCIETY                                                                        -By Joane Unknown Before we start, I want to add a disclaimer. This post should be taken as seriously as possible and it may have some triggering sentences that may bother some of you. I am not judging anybody, I am just analyzing today's behavior. I am 13, and no, I don't know everything about the world we live in but I see things and even if I am young, you should consider my opinions. Thank you so much for reading this and enjoy! This is society is broken, completely broken. We hate to hear the truth from people. We are silent so we don't hurt anybody. We fake smiles and even our lives to seem cool, to fit in. We cha...

           IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT I am back after two months of ghosting around. And, I am going to try and post different things on different topics. I am currently in my summer break and I have decided to try blogging again. I always wanted to have some sort of a series where I would talk and post about different things, for example- -Book reviews- I am obsessed with books and I would love to share my opinions on the books I read and liked. -Trends- I have a love-hate relationship with trends but I love to talk about them -Unpopular opinions- Sharing my unpopular opinions -Controversial topics And probably a lot of other things that I can't remember right now. This post is more of an announcement of my new series- UNKNOWN TALKS, but I will probably post something today or tomorrow if I am going to be busy.                                           ...
