All 3 worth reading. Different genres, but still exciting, thoughtful, or fun/adventure.

Realistic Fiction -An Underappreciated Genre
A blog about how teachers can more effectively teach writing and improve student engagement. The focus is on HOW to write, not WHAT to write.

The last thing you would want to do so soon after your father passes away is to perform any kind of activity.

I almost did not share this one.

He knew Mikael had to have been laughing at that, then he sighed, lowering his head into his hands with sudden disappointment in himself. No, he had not been a morning person for the past few months, but it was fairly clear the Swede death metal vocalist needed his English multi-instrumentalist partner-in-crime to join him on the endeavour. Maybe the afternoon would be a more apt decision, he mused, returning to his omelet with a somewhat more invested mirth. It could have been he preferred lounging about in his studio with his dog, listening to Yes’s Fragile in crystalline quality on the record table or humming to both books in Rush’s Cygnus X-1. After swallowing the last bit of omelet and with a final sip of his tea, he sighed. At this point, he needed to motivate himself to go outside and take part in some extracurricular activity. Maybe he should partake in Mum’s football practice – no. He could hardly imagine himself partaking in any sort of sports. Take Milly out for a walk later, maybe? He mused, hardly taking a step away from the countertop prior to placing the plate in the sink atop the other dishes from days ago that still needed to be washed. Maybe he should finish *that* task. Or maybe he should just stop being lazy. He still has the rest of his life to live. STEVEN (11:10): I’ll be there after twelve.

Here is an excerpt from my novel "Call Her Tokyo Red" which, unlike most of my novels, is a realistic fiction book for Young Adults. It focuses on social media influencers and personalities.
