Humane vs. Inhumane

What does it mean to be human?

I know this isn't a book review or writing tips, but I wanted to draw attention to this question. My English teacher at school asks us this question on numerous occasions, especially after we finish a work of literature. It really has made me question how much humanity is actually in all of us. We have the denotation of what it means to be human. We have two legs, a heart, white blood cells and red blood cells, feelings, diversity, Homo sapiens, or whatever you literally use to define our species. Then we think of the connotation, how many humane qualities do we actually have? Yes some of us have sympathy, we're caring, loving, happy, smart, etc. Then you truly have to think about the inhumane parts of greed, the crimes, the selfishness, and so much more that I feel as if it almost outweighs anything we could list as a human quality. I sit here right now questioning whether humans are truly human.

Writing Advice? I think yes!

No guys I'm not dead.

Sorry, this girl here has been studying a lot lately. Do you know what that means? I'm feeling destitute of my blog. Here are some websites to help you continue and start a book off on the right start. I use this myself and I absolutely love it.

• Beware the Mary Sue Character This is a website I really enjoy when developing a character to reassure myself my character isn't just Mary Sue.
• How to Write Dialogue Life Saver! I cannot believe how much I reference this website. I have really grown as a dialogue writer the past couple months with this.
• How to Write a Novel This isn't my favorite website out of these seeing as I have my own very useful organization system while writing. If you want some help past this website on MY organization technique, please feel free to ask or DM me.
• Writing Advice This made me climb my way out of Writer's Block, enough said.
• Keep that Backstory Interesting! Yes, yes, and yes! I need to use this right now actually for a couple exerts of my own story and I think this will be so helpful.

I honestly love using websites like this and I applaud those who make them and save my life from suffering. I hope you all will help us all and comment a couple ways to help or some websites.

Just a girl trying to climb her way out of a mountain of books,
