7 Things To Do During Quarantine



Here are 10 fun and productive things to do while in Quarantine

1. Take A Class On Skillshare 

Whether you want to bump up your writing skills or become a painter, skillshare is a great online platform for learning. You can get a premium membership for 2 months free, or get basic, which still has access to many professional classes. 

2. Make Ice Cream

Making ice cream can be quite simple, even if you do not have an ice cream machine. All you need is some vanilla, milk, sugar, salt, and ice. Simply put the vanilla, milk, and sugar into a small ziplock bag. Then, in a bigger bag, fill halfway with ice and put a bit of salt on the ice. Then put the small bag into the bigger one and shake for 5 minutes. There you have it- delicious ice cream!

3. Take A Walk or Bike

Even though you have to stay 2 or more meters away from others, you can still take walks or bike outside. In my opinion, fresh air is one of the best things you can give yourself. I always take a walk in the morning and I bike in the afternoon. I encourage you to do that as well.

4. Write A Diary, Blog, or Novel

If you sit down for just 10 minutes a day and write, you may be surprised. Writing gets your creative juices flowing, and can also be relaxing. Whether you are writing a blog, a diary, or a novel, you can find that writing will be very beneficial for you. 

5. Put Together A Puzzle 

Putting together a puzzle is both fun and satisfying once you are finished. 

6. Listen To Music

Listening to different types of music can boost your mood in different ways. You can sing and dance to the music you listen to as well!

7. Be Grateful

Lastly, remember to be grateful. Even though this pandemic is surely not anything to be grateful for, think of the great things that have happened when you stayed home. Maybe you have developed a better relationship with your family members. Maybe you have started a new hobby, and have time to practice it. Try to find something positive about your time in Quarantine.

How To Publish A Fiction Novel

You have written your fiction novel. Now what? You publish. Unfortunately, that isn't as easy as it looks. By the time you finish reading this post, you will have a clear understanding of the publishing industry.
You want to get your book out there and into the hands of willing readers. There are two main ways to publish your book: traditional publishing and self-publishing.

Traditional Publishing

With traditional publishing, you want to get a book deal with a publishing house. A few of the most popular publishers are HarperCollins, Simon and Schuster, and Penguin Random House. 

To get a book deal, most publishers require an agent to reach out to them. Thanks to this website and other sites you can easily find agents to submit your manuscript to. If they accept, they will submit your queries, proposals, and manuscript to all the publishers they can find. If you get a book deal, the agent gets 15-20% of the profit. 
What are Queries and Proposals?Queries are a one-page letter that you s…

A Guide To Outlining: Part One: Why Outline? + More

Image
In the author writing community, there is a lot of talk about plotting, outlining, etc. What there is not much talk about is the actual outlining part. I used to be a discovery writer (who writes without plotting) and I desperately wanted to learn how to outline.

There are many different outlining methods, but today, we will be talking about the basics of outlining. What is it, and why should you do it? What purpose does it serve?
Why Outline?  Many people are discovery writers, meaning that they write with ideas in their head, rather than ideas written down. These people usually have a more vague idea of where their story is going. This is not a bad thing, but there are disadvantages that come with it.  
Outlining will help eliminate writer's block. If you constantly find yourself stuck, not knowing where your book is heading, outlining may be for you.

Another reason to outline is that you will have a good sense of story structure, flow, and pacing. We will get into how to apply …
