Title: Box
Author: Matt Castro
Genre: Fantasy/Adventure
Pages: 3
Mentor Texts: Chronicles of Narnia: The series, The Chronicles of Narnia, was the basis for Box, and helped me create a whole storyline, and a setting. Also, ideas of a goat-like man gave me the idea of a Nestopian. In other words, Box is just another fantasy series like the Chronicles of Narnia.
Audience: The audience I wrote this book for were the kind of people who like fantasy style books, and enjoy reading about mythical creatures, and faraway lands. People who think "outside of the box" will enjoy this book.
Writing Process: I regret to say that this piece of writing is one of my least powerful, and that I haven't put a lot of thought or effort into its process. I have only gone through two drafts so far, and I've come to believe that I can't write much more, or even fix it. I'm just stuck in the middle of the river, and can't get out. My only option, would be to make a whole new story, but we're already deep into the project, so my luck has run out.
The Publishing Process: I haven't started on the publishing of Box, but I have a pretty good idea on how I will. I will start by creating a cover, and a few good pictures. I will then place the pictures in the right places of the story, and print the whole thing out. Next, I will laminate each page, including the cover. Lastly, I will attach a spinal back, and give some last touch-ups, and that's it.

It is frustrating when a piece of writing seems to lose life in your mind and heart as you're writing. I felt for you as I was reading your reflection, because I definitely have had that experience. Sometimes, it just comes down to scrapping the original idea and moving on with a new one, when the old one doesn't inspire you any more. On the other hand, I thought the concept of the Box was promising and that you had a great start to your story with your powerful writing and strong vocabulary. I look foward to reading more of your work in the future!
