This week I tried to recreate the cover of the first Mistborn book. I would love to write books someday, so for the "exploring your interests" assignment this week I did a little research on writing and different literary devices. It turns out one of my favorite books follows the rules of a tragedy perfectly, and I never knew until now, so that was a bit of a surprise. I've been practicing writing fiction and reading lots of stories, so I feel like I'm well on my way to being an author. :)
