Do you know the name of this book?


It circulates around this guy that moves to a new town where everyone is a vampire. It is juvenile fiction. I read it in eight grade, because I like vampire stories. It is a fairly new book, I think. Maybe 5 years old at the oldest. 2-3 years at the youngest. I cannot think of the title and it bothers me.

How long does it take to finish writing a novel?


Maybe its just me, but I always spend AGES finishing one. I write, if I’m in the mood, just about as fast as I read books – and that’s about 20 pages per hour, the paperback ones, small print and small format of paper. Still, it takes me generally 3 years to finish a short story that would be about 100 pages, and 5 years to finish a manuscript that would be about 400 pages.
I put my heart and soul into those stories, and after I’ve finally finished them, despite my desire to share my fiction with the world, I decide its not good enough and needs too much correcting, and it ends up in the bin. (the short story still needs reviewing of the last part)
Many of my manuscripts have ended up in the bin like that, and while I once had a good thriller and suspense, and a couple of movie scripts to my name, I’m now left over with my most recent projects; 2 fantasy stories and a horror short story, which is finished.
I hear most writers need at most a year. What is wrong with me?

It is centered on a Japanese girl named Reiko Ito and told from her perspective of uncertainty as her family if beaten and forced into Camp Manzanar with several other Japanese families and must survive until the end of the war for 3 years while the fighting is going on until they are released.

what are the best ways to overcome my writers block?


Ok laugh if you wanna,but I have ADHD, and I live in a stressful situation. All this is killing my creativity. I haven’t written a (finished) song in about 3 years. All my ideas seem so drab. Plus sometimes I get mental blocks. I’m a great lyricist, but nothing I’ve
tryed to write gets finished, or sounds good….help please!!

Thanx
