Finishing The Hunger Games Trilogy

Every Story Must End… Eventually

I finished the second book in the Hunger Games Trilogy, Catching Fire, about a year and a half ago. Last week, I finished the third and final book in the series, Mockingjay. What took me so long? Basically, I just wasn’t ready for it to end yet. I fell in love with the characters and I found the premise fascinating. Now that I’ve read book 3, though, I really can’t wait to see the movie and I hope they treat it with the same care and passion the crew and cast have brought to the previous adaptations.

What I Learned Finishing My First Book

My Fifth First Book


A Test of Honor is not the first book I’ve ever tried to write. In fact, it’s at least the fifth. Usually when I write a book, I get to about the third chapter and then it all falls apart. Suddenly I hate the characters, the story seems stupid, the dialogue nonsensical, and the point strangely missing. I freak out, tell myself I’ll come back to it later, and then leave it forever in my Documents folder to gather digital dust for all eternity.

So why is this book different? What did I do differently?
