Book of the Day- Divergent by Veronica Roth

 Book of the day:



Divergent by Veronica Roth.
  This was a really good book. The plot is exciting, thrilling, the whole edge of your seat thing. No kidding, It was a great book. Everyone knows it is going to be a movie soon, and my opinion of that is, Hollywood is evil, they will ruin it, but the book is so good, the movie will still be pretty good.

  I recommend this book for anyone who's into books with action. Actually, you should just read it, and figure out what you think.

  The rest of the series is not half as good as Divergent. Roth brings in poorly written love stories, a confusing plot twist (seriously confusing), and a very unexpected, and unnecessary ending (at least it clears up the poor love story.) But even though some people say not to read the series because after the first book the go down hill, I still think it's worth it.

  Happy reading.

Euroquest

  If you are a writer, then you've dreamed about going to Europe, or at least traveling. If you're a Christian, you've probably at least thought about going on a missions trip. That what Euroquest is, a missions trip to Europe.(Surprise!)

  I want to go to Europe this summer with Royal Servants. Obviously this is expensive, and I can't do it a lone. I know that you don't know me, you have no idea who I am, but I do ask that if you want to see the truth of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection spread around the world you would go to the link at the bottom of the page and contribute.
  If you can't afford it, but are still a Bible-believing Christian, I ask that you would please pray that if it's God's will I can make the money.

  (There is more info about the trip, and specifically my reasons for wanting to go at my gofundme page.) Here is the link. http://www.gofundme.com/7pohlk

  Thank you.

Pros and cons of People watching

I am sure you are wondering (or maybe you're not) what people watching actually is. People watching is simply watching people usually in public places such as malls, or bus stops, for  various reasons, the number one being that you are a stalker, or a creep, but not everyone participates in this sport for those reasons. Another reason to people watch is if you are an actor, a psychologist, or like I am a writer. Watching people can teach you a lot.

  So that brings us to our first pro.
   1)Watching people can teach you a lot. No matter what the reason you enjoy watching people, from your artistic pursuits, to your mother shopping for her fourteenth pair of heels, after you've already tried them all on (watching because you're bored), you can learn from watching. Such as learning how people react to a certain situation, how people dress, walk, and the way people convey their emotions.

  2) People watching is a good way to pass the time. Everyone knows people are interesting, so instead of breathing over someones back trying to get them to hurry up, why not sit and watch some people? It's like a reality tv show, only it's actually reality.

 3) People watching can inspire  you. This is kind of the same as learning, but it's not quite the same. Over-hearing half a phone conversation, or watching a guy help a girl up after tripping (shame on you for not being the one to help) could totally jump start you're next novel!

Of course, there are cons to every good thing, and this good thing has one as well. Here is the single con of people watchng.
  1) Someone might think you are a stalker, and call the cops on you, adding long hours of paper work that could have been spent using all the ideas you had gotten from watching the person who tried have you thrown in jail.

  I of course believe the risks are worth it. So go into the world and watch people!
