How This Works

Welcome, welcome!

I've already explained this a bit in the sidebar. To reiterate myself, this blog is going to explore just how Suzanne Collins managed to capture such a huge (and growing) audience with her books, The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay in hopes of giving the rest of us insight into how to craft our own books.

Right now, my plan is to read the books chapter-by-chapter and evaluate it under these categories:
  • Characters
  • Plot
  • Tension
  • World-building
  • Description
  • Dialogue
Each chapter analysis may not cover all of these areas, and is not limited to just these categories.

Then, after I finish each subsequent book, I'll spend around a month (more or less) on bigger issues like themes, character arcs, foreshadowing, etc.

The week will look as follows:

Monday: Chapter analysis
Wednesday: Guest posts/bigger issues/null
Friday: Chapter analysis

Well, are you ready?! I sure am! Let's do this!

(I am also fighting back the urge to say you-know-what. You know, that phrase. I'll do my best to refrain from it).

  1. Focus on the people you are trying to lead, not yourself. It can be difficult to do that, but when you are a leader, you think of everyone. You must forget about yourself and focus on what you can offer to those who would follow you. That is the right thing to do, and you will find that most people appreciate that behevior. satta king

  2. Never leave the training court without taking some training shots. Do some free tosses, lay-ups and 3-point tosses each training before you leave. Obviously you are doing some shooting during training, yet this extra practice will help you over the long haul. Continue rehearsing your shooting every day.

  3. Remember your footwork while playing safeguard. Making short strides will give you a superior decent footing on your rival. Make sure to push off your front foot. At the point when you make long strides, it is progressively hard to protect against a driving rival. Check your good ways from your rival player by expanding one arm. Satta King
