I don't think i will continue writing prompts in it after i am done because i never really used blogger until this project. However, i do enjoy the process of blogging so i will probably create another blog and starting blogging from there. This blog will be used for personal reasons where i can express myself and share my inspirations. I want to share my perspectives and decisions of things that evolve around me with other bloggers.
From that blog, i will start my own topics and write my opinions about it. However, i am busy most of the time so i probably will not do much updating. For the meantime, i will perhaps continue blogging with this blog that i have created and continue on with my story. I enjoy blogging and being able to express myself so i will continue on with this processing.

Day Twenty Nine
There are many people that i would like to dedicate my book to. I want to let them know that they have given me much love and inspiration that has helped me manage to write my story. I would like to dedicate my book to my family, friends, school, and church. My family has been very supportive of me from the start and helps me to strive for the best. My friends are there to inspire and correct my errors. They help give their opinions about my decisions and are always there to give me an answer when i am clueless. My school is part of my life and has helped me experience many beautiful tragedies. School is the step to success; therefore, i want to dedicate this book to my school.
The importance of acknowledging my family, friends, and school is to let them know that they are part of my life. They have made me who i am today and has made a great impact on me. My friends has influenced me to be a better person and do things that are of my interest. My family supports me in all situations and is willing to encourage me all the way. My school allows me to experience the feeling of success and achievement. These three things are a special part of my life and has affect me in many positive ways. In the future when i look back, my family, friends, and school will always be a special memory that has brought me to the success at where i am right now.

Day Twenty Eight
I have some ideas on what the title of my book should be. I want my title to be simple and yet summarizes the story of my book. All i need now is to decide on the right one that can immediately capture the readers' attention. I wasn't able to come up with two more titles, but the ones that i have so far are:
"The Korean Frog Prince"
"A Frog's Love in Palace"
"Imperial Love from a Frog"
I am considering on using "The Korean Frog Prince" because it is a simple title that can describe the story in an excellent way and enables children to know that it is written in a Korean culture. The significance of the first title is to inform the readers that it is about the frog prince and it will be written with Korean customs. In the second title, it basically tells the readers that the story will be about a frog who experiences love in a palace. The significance of the third title to is basically let the readers know that the book will take place in an imperial palace and it will be about the experience of love from a frog to a princess.

Day Twenty Seven
For this blog, i want to describe and talk about what i have written so far for my story. I have three ideas on how to start my story-
1: start it out as a dream that the Princess is having about the kind of life and happiness she wants
2. write the story in first person and start it out with the Princess narrating the story and talking about a girl who has struggled growing up all her life and how she wishes to be loved. the Princess will then reveal that the girl she is talking about is herself.
3. start it out like any other folktale would.
Those are the ideas that i have so far. However, i think i am going to go with my third idea and start it out like any other folktales would. I don't want to make my story too difficult, yet i want to make it unique. Unless i am able to get other inspirations or opinions about how to write my story using the other ideas, i will stick to number three.
Also, i am reconsidering about whether or not i should have someone illustrate and hand draw my pictures, or draw it on the computer. I think it will be easier for someone to hand draw it, but it will be complicated because it will require scanning. If i choose to do my illustrations on the computer, my pictures will be be very creative. Above all, i think i am off to an good start, yet unsteady.

Day Twenty Six
At this point, i feel that i am at a good start of writing my story. However, i think the hardest part of writing a story is how to start it out. The beginning of every book determines whether or not people will read it. Therefore, i think the introduction to my story will be the hardest part for me to write. I spent about two hours writing my story and so far i only have two paragraphs. Therefore, i think starting out the story is the toughest part for me.
However, i have learned how to organize and put my events in a sequential order according to its situation. I have come too far with writing my blurb book because i am having difficulties writing everything out. I know exactly what is going to happen, but i'm just not quite sure on how to type it out on paper. At times, i need some sort of inspiration to boost my creativity so it would inspire me to write my book. My strengths is organizing my events, but my weakness is typing it all out on paper. What i hope to accomplish is to find some inspiration and finish writing my blurb book.

Day Twenty Five
i am still decided whether to write my story in the character's point of view or the author's point of view. I wanted to make my story in first person, but i think it doesn't stick with the original folktales. Also, if it is going to be a children's book, it will probably confuse them. The flow of my story will be very smooth. i don't want my folktale to be rushed or organized in any way because i want the readers to get a good perspective of the book and apply the message within their life.
The style of my story will be according to the traditional Korean style and ways of life. I want to based the lifestyle and almost all their customs according to the Korean way. I want to immediately let the readers know that this story has been retold into the Korean culture. As i read part of what i have written, it doesn't immediately let the readers know, however, it gives them the description of the Princess and how she has struggled growing up. This style will keep the story together and flowing smoothly because it keeps a constant and exciting flow within the story and the readers' attention.

Day Twenty Four
The climax of my story will probably be when the Prince/Frog learns from the maid that the Princess acts the way she is because of the things she experienced when she was little. The Prince always wondered why the Princess acted the way she did towards him. He never really understood her situation and what she is going through until her maid explained to him about her life growing up. I chose to make that the climax of my story because it will explain the whole situation of explanation about the Princess' life.
The climax that fits my story best would be, 'Personal problems overcome by character's own efforts.' I chose this as my climax because it falls deeply into the situation of the Princess. Her own personal problems containing her life and her relationships with others are revealed and slowly accomplished when she decides to accept everything and everyone around her. I think this can also fall under the 'Greatest challenges met or failed' as well, because it will be one of the most toughest yet greatest challenge of the whole story.
