Due to my recent videogame obsessions, I’ve been spending a lot more time on Tumblr these days. That’s how I found this incredible drawing of Aluna from the Above World series by artist Mentacose. I love everything about it — her hair, the expression in her eyes, her clothes, the breathing shell… she’s perfect!
If you need me, I’ll just be over here staring happily at my computer screen until further notice and feeling so, so grateful.
Love this fan art! Hey, I’m an 8th grader and I was wondering if you can give me any kind of advice?
Hi Synthia!
If you’re a writer, the advice is pretty simple: keep reading, keep writing, and start learning how to revise. I wrote eight drafts of ABOVE WORLD. That’s right, EIGHT! If you tried to read the first draft, you’d think I was the worst writer in the world. But that’s the good news: the first draft doesn’t have to be good, it just has to be finished. Then you can go back and fix things, improve sentences, change dialogue, etc. until it’s the story you want to tell. If you have specific questions for me, you can email me at jenn@jennreese.com. Good luck!
