Anyone here a writer/novelist? If so, I'd love to get some tips on how to get going with my book. The help is appreciated!

To start off any book you rly want to think long and hard about the topic. First just think of the plot and where the setting will take place. Plan it out. Place, how the characters know each other or meet, what’s the conflict, and how will it be resolved or end.

Planting a Home Garden

One way to enjoy a healthier lifestyle is to grow your own vegetables. That way, you know they are free from harmful chemicals. Where do you start if you want to grow your own healthy food?

Start with the Location

If this is your first adventure in gardening, start small. Choose plants that are easy to tend and that will grow well in the soil you have. The soil is an important part of choosing your garden's location because the soil is what has the nutrients plants need to live. After planting, you may need to add fertilizer to the soil so that the plants form strong roots and stay healthy. You also need to choose a place that has enough space for the plants you want to grow. Not all plants grow in the same way. Consider which plants prefer sunlight and which prefer shade. This will help with picking the best spot for your garden.

Planning Before Planting

Once you have decided where you will plant your garden, you can move on to planning your garden's layout. You don't want your tall plants growing next to the shorter ones and blocking out the sun. Some plants benefit from growing near each other. For example, corn is very happy growing near peas, beans, and melons. You also want to make sure there is enough room between the rows to allow for weeding. Proper planning ensures planting success.

Before You Can Eat Your Veggies

Getting your plants in good soil isn't enough to ensure food on your table. Plants also need water and additional fertilizer. They may also need supports to grow on or help against pests such as ants and caterpillars. Depending on the type of plants you choose to grow, it can be 70 days to five years before you can harvest and enjoy the fruit of your labor. Growing your own vegetables is satisfying but also takes time and dedication.

Passage B

Soil Horizons

Soil comes in many different forms and is made of layers called horizons. When you look at the horizons together, you get a soil profile. Each horizon has its own set of characteristics. Some soil characteristics are the amount of sand, type of minerals, and amount of decomposing leaves found in the soil. These characteristics will help determine what kind of plants can grow in the soil.

Rich in Nutrients

How do nutrients make it into the soil? The answer is actually quite complex. Nutrient-rich soil contains organic matter, which is broken-down plant and animal matter. As the plant and animal matter decays, it releases nutrients into the soil. Then, it is absorbed by the roots of living plants and turned into food for the plant. Therefore, the richer the nutrients in the soil, the healthier the plant.

answers:


Based on the information from Passages A and B, how do nutrients in the soil help plants grow?

A)Nutrients are spread from plant to plant by insects. Every time an insect lands on a plant, nutrients are added.
B) Nutrients are absorbed by the plant through its roots. Then, the nutrients are moved up the stem to the rest of the plant.
C) Nutrients are added to a plant when it is moved to a new patch of soil. Gardeners give plants fertilizer to feed them.
D) Nutrients are left behind in the soil after a dying plant is removed. The roots and dead leaves become food for new plants.

In sentence 6 (reproduced below), the writer is considering deleting the underlined text.
However, strong evidence indicates that this event did not inspire the poem and that the author was in fact Sarah
Josepha Hale, not Roulstone.
Should the writer keep or delete the underlined text?
o

"charming" in sentence 5.

different ways a poem may be inspired.

Keep it, because it previews the way the rest of the passage will support the thesis about
Hale's authorship with evidence.
D
Delete it, because it contains unimportant information that distracts from the statement of the
thesis.
E
Delete it, because it contradicts the discussion of Roulstone's childhood in the first paragraph.

Names are useful. Sometimes they’re even more useful when
they’re fake—especially if you’re a writer. Pen names, aliases, or
pseudonyms—as they’re variously called—allow authors freedom,
flexibility, and opportunity. Eric Blair, author of Animal Farm and
Nineteen Eighty-Four, adopted the name George Orwell because he
feared his early work would embarrass his family. C. S. Lewis,
concerned about his status as a professor at Oxford, used the name
Clive Hamilton to publish a collection of poems. Charles Dodgson, a
noted mathematician, used the name Lewis Carroll to write fantasy
works such as Alice in Wonderland.
For many writers, turning to a pen name is the only way to get
published. When a local newspaper refused him publication, sixteenyear-old Benjamin Franklin started writing letters to the editor under
the persona of the middle-aged widow Silence Dogood. Likewise, many
female authors have had to conceal their gender in order to overcome
discrimination and get publishers to take them seriously. The Brontë
sisters (Charlotte, Emily, and Anne) wrote poetry and novels under
male pseudonyms. Charlotte wrote under the name of Currer Bell,
while Emily and Anne used the names Ellis and Acton Bell.
Even today some authors adopt a pen name in order to stem
biases and preconceived notions. Perhaps the best-known example of
this is J. K. Rowling. Rowling’s publishers feared that young boys—the
presumed audience of the Harry Potter series—wouldn’t take the book
seriously if they knew it was written by a woman. So Joanne Rowling
became J. K. Rowling. In hindsight, though, the change was hardly
necessary. Rowling’s books enjoyed unprecedented success, gaining
millions of fans among boys and girls of all ages, and adults as well.
In fact, Rowling became so famous that she later turned to another
pen name, Robert Galbraith, in order to write detective novels. For
Rowling, a new pen name meant a fresh start and a chance to explore
a new genre without the pressure of her Harry Potter fame. When asked why she chose a new pen name, Rowling responded, “I was
yearning to go back to the beginning of a writing career in this new
genre, to work without hype or expectation and to receive totally
unvarnished feedback. It was a fantastic experience and I only wish it
could have gone on a little longer than it did.”
Susan Eloise Hinton, who is famous for young-adult novels, is
another author who adopted her name. S. E. Hinton’s first book,
The Outsiders includes a male narrator. As with J. K. Rowling, Hinton’s
publisher thought it would be a good idea to use a pen name; if
readers associated the narrator of the story with a male author, it
would make the story seem more believable. Hinton herself appreciates
having the alter ego of a teenage boy. She believes that it helps her
separate her writer self from her true self, and it creates a persona as
rich as a character in her novels.

Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone by James Cross Giblin.

Some of these scholars made otherwise significant contributions to the world's knowledge of ancient Egypt. A German priest of the 1600s, Athanasius Kircher, wrote the first grammar and vocabulary of Coptic, the language of Christian Egypt. These books were to prove of great value when the hieroglyphs were eventually deciphered.

But Kircher's ideas about the hieroglyphs themselves were even farther off the mark than those of Horapollo. Looking at a certain group of symbols—which actually stood for the name of a pharaoh—Kircher let his imagination run wild. Without any evidence to support him, he said that the hieroglyphs meant "The blessings of the god Osiris are to be procured by means of sacred ceremonies, in order that the benefits of the river Nile may be obtained."

From 1650 onward, Kircher produced several volumes of such nonsense. It earned him a reputation for being an expert on the hieroglyphs—a reputation that lasted, unfortunately, long after his death in 1680.
