Other than working on my trailer I continued putting words to pictures! I plan on seeing Anna soon so I can gather hopefully the rest of the drawings so I can add them to the document and be ready for assembly. Later today I will be doing some voiceover work for my trailer and get it posted by the end of the day.

What I have been doing with the actual assembly of a book is I have been cutting out the words of the story and getting them ready to be glued onto the page with the drawings. In about a week or so I should begin applying the words onto the pages.

For this video, I asked Anna a couple of questions regarding the work she was doing for the book. I asked her: "When I first asked you about helping me with this project did you have any ideas of how you wanted to illustrate?", "Was there anything that took you by surprise when reviewing the story and what you drew?", and "Was there any inspiration or references when drawing?". Check out this video to see her responses!

Yet again, some more writing of my first draft. Lately, I've been dealing with a bit of writer's block in trying to figure out how to keep my story simple, but include all of the necessary details. On top of trying to write more, I have kept in thought regarding who I plan to ask to help me illustrate my story, I have a couple of friends who I know draw very well and hope that they can assist. In the event they are not able to, I do have some backups in mind that I plan on reaching out to.

Today I began the writing process for my book! Here is a time-lapse of me beginning the process. In my rough draft, I plan to write each page in bullet points. Since it is a children's book I am looking to keep each page under 3 lines. With guides of who is saying what and short descriptions of what I intend for the illustrations to look like in the book.

An alien invasion? Maybe so! After talking with my teacher a fantastic idea was brought up. Why not combine something that young children enjoy just as much with the story? Some different ideas were thrown out in what was believed young kids like. Such as dinosaurs, robots, superheroes, etc. After some thought and reflection of what I enjoyed, I felt that aliens would be a unique and intriguing topic. On the lined paper in the picture is the rough plan I assembled for the alien idea of my book called "Meep Plays Ball!". At the bottom, I included some key points to include in my story after also receiving the book "Too Many Socks" from my teacher to give me an idea on sentence structure and dialogue within the book. Which I found to be a great help. My next step would be to compare my different book ideas and prepare to begin the writing process of the book!

Here is what I had developed in my story. I've created a title for my book called "Scotty's Grand Game". I came up with this title by incorporating who my story is about and a little play on words in how it's his first baseball game, and he developed a bond with his grandfather through the game. On top of my title I began to plan out the plot points in my story and what would happen. This helps me create a base for my book and with this, I've created a starting point where I would need to add dialogue and transitions between each plot point when creating my story.

I took a brief pause in my physical book to complete "Ready, Set Pitch!". For this section, I thought about who I would ask to view my pitch, and immediately I thought of my grandfather. While part of it was someone I had easy access to and was not so knowledgeable in my project prior, he was one of if not the supporting roles in my life that had led me to the decision in writing a book. My likes, dislikes, and how I carry myself are in response to watching him as I grew up. I also knew that he would be someone who would be straight up in whatever criticism he had for my project and help guide me in the right direction. After his initial feedback, I was also able to talk with him and voice out more in-depth my idea. I feel that this part significantly helped me because, for me to move forward to writing my story, it was important to know what others think of my plan before I make it happen.

Here I began to plan out my own story. To start I established where I believed I wanted my various locations to be in the story, along with the characters. I feel that before I plan out the story itself, it's very important to know where and who you are talking about.

During the week I looked at my calendar from project number 6 and saw that I was well ahead of schedule. Since I was not falling behind in my plans and doing everything efficiently, I opened myself up to my classmates to assist them in wherever they found problems. I helped a few of my classmates in class on how to upload their videos the way I uploaded mine in my last post. I also helped out another in finding the way to allow other people to view his videos and documents once they were uploaded to his own PIP website. I feel that this not only helps those I assisted but myself as well because it allowed me to retrace my steps and communicate in a way that was clear and simple. I found this to be very important since my own book is intended to help teach an unknown or not fully understood topic.

"The Contract" and "Hit and Miss" are the first two books that are apart of the young teen autobiography series by former shortstop of the New York Yankees Derek Jeter. These are stories led through the lenses of a young Derek as he grows up and learns not only how to play baseball but how to grow up. Personally, for my book, I am not looking to write my story the way this book was written because it is directed towards an older audience.

After some technical problems in how my original logo downloaded onto my PIP website, I attempted to recreate it in different software (Microsoft Paint 3D) rather than a free logo website that was provided. The free logo website was a good start to get a basic idea for what I wanted, but in terms of showing off a clean, neat, and proper end result, using the different site helped with the colors of the logo, and its resolution.

This is the rule book that I am going to be referencing when I write my book. I know it is a bit outdated but it was the only one I had available. But because I know the topic fairly well, I know that the key rules I am including in my story, have remained the same between 2016 and now. I will use this to help guide myself in making sure what I say is correct. While I do look to inspire an early passion for the sport of baseball, I want to do so while providing the correct and accurate information to learn and understand the game.

These are the notes that I took on the Derek Jeter books. When reading I looked for details that were included that not only sent his message, but told a story, and what would set it apart from what I look to write about and how. When reading I saw who his intended audience was and how he wrote to that audience, so by comparing the Jeter books with the first book I reviewed, I feel that I can properly construct the type of book I envision.
