Finals Week. Less Blogging, More Studying.

It’s that nasty time of the year where brains turn to mush and bodies look like walking zombies shuffling into lecture seats. Finals! I’ve actually already pulled an all-nighter and took my very LAST science final today. Cell Biology was killer, and I ended up sleeping most of the day afterwards. But I still have more left and Becca hasn’t even started yet! What does that mean about blogging? Well, less of course. Which is why April was a sad month for posts over at Nawanda Files, and I’ve be...

Tonight on TV. What We’ll Be Watching.

So it’s no secret thatBecca and I are TV buffs. Becca even writes forthe CW Atlanta over on their blog. I can’t even tell you when our love for television and all things pop culture began. Maybe with the hunky Clark Kent onSmallville or possibly with those fiesty three witches onCharmed. But one thing is for sure — it was the WB. The network geared towards young adults will always be our favorite. So here’s a little at what we’re so excited for tonight:

Let’s be honest. If you’re aVampire Diar...

Writing with Music. Why it can be bad.

Some people write with music, other’s find that it distracts them. I know that I can’t even begin to form sentences in silence. Music carries my writing process, making it so much easier. However, there’s a line between helpful and hurtful when it comes to tunes and typing. Good music will be background to the story that evolves inside my head. Becca can also attest to this. When you’ve found a great song to write to, it doesn’t influence your writing but it just allows you to keep up a momen...

Atlanta Writers Conference. Will you be there?

Hello all! So this will be a short post. Becca and I will be at the Atlanta Writers Conference this May, and wanted to give a little wave to all the Georgians out there. If you’re going then you may spot us. We’re pretty hard to miss since we’re twins. It will be, I think, either the third or fourth conference we’ve attended, so we’re pretty excited! It’s always nice to learn new things about the industry and talk with pros in the field. Can’t wait!

Collaborative Writing. How We Do It.

How do you and your sister write together? We get this question every time we go to writing conferences and every time we tell someone we write books together. Collaborative writing is a different process for every pair of writers. I’ve watched interviews with Margaret Stohl and Kami Garcia, authors of theBeautiful Creatures series, discuss their process. To paraphrase, they basically send their book back and forth by email, and cut and add like crazy.For other writers, who do two POVs, they...

Our New Author Website…Bam! Pow!

As you may (or may not) know, we’re bloggers over at Nawanda Files. What you probably don’t know is that both Becca and I are writers and are planning to publish our New Adult contemporary novel this summer! As a result, we’ve started this author website.

It’s definitely a work in progress. Since we already blog about books and reading, this website will serve to talk a little about writing and our personal ventures.

Where you can find me...

A lot has happened in the past year, so here's where you can find me:

CW Atlanta: I blog regularly about all the CW shows including The Vampire Diaries, Arrow, Hart of Dixie, and Supernatural. It's super fun :)

Nawanda Files: I run the YA Book Review blog with my twin sis. I just got bumped up to full-time reviewer (yipee!) and we feature books-into-movie news and books-into-television news (specifically CW related stuff)

YA Book Exchange: My sis and I have created a really cool site where YA Book lovers can find books to trade for books they want. It's a book trading directory, and in the past two months it has been a tremendous success. And it wouldn't be without all the awesome people who've added books to the site. So thanks to everyone involved :) There's also a Group page on Goodreads for the YA Book Exchange to help facilitate discussions and such.

So that's it. You can also find me on Twitter at @Becca_Ritchie. I'll be around, trying to spread CW news. And I'm always willing to chat about TV shows. Thanks for reading the post!
