App Book: The Mighty League, Vol. 1

Being an advocate for autism is something I take quite seriously as I am a parent of a child who is on the autism spectrum and I understand the struggles that they face regularly on a day to day basis.

The storybook app, The Mighty League, is wonderfully illustrated in a comic book style and the story is nicely written, flowing from one scene to the next. My son and I enjoyed this app as it gives insight from the perspective of a child with autism. The sounds that they encounter that are disturbing if not distracting, their tendency to specialize in a specified interest with large amounts of information on the subject they tend to study the most. These are some of the aspects that children on the autism spectrum face.

 I believe in raising awareness about autism and I am happy to share news of the storybook app serie, which was recently released. It is based on Jonathan Murphy's perspective, who grew up with Aspergers.

I feel this is a great story that children with autism can relate to with self-acceptance and helps children in general have awareness and understanding about the world from the view of someone with Asperger's Syndrome.

Writing Tip: Pacing

PACING in Writing     Art by Laura Pace I think of pacing in my writing somewhat similar to tempo in music. I used to play the flute, clarinet and piano. While playing the piano, I learned about tempo and depending on the music, you would slow down, speed up, play softly or loud, hold a note long or short, that creates emotion and feeling into the song being played. Well, I feel doing this with writing is not that far from the same if used as a technique. If you have a lot of action going on, you shorten your sentences and are more quick to the point. In scenes where you are layering details and building up characterization, these tend to be more detailed and visual. So there's a bit more written in the sentence.  So, depending on your story, you can add tempo to your writing effectively. Here are some helpful articles on how to use pacing in your novel: 7 Tools For Pacing A Novel & Keeping Your Story Moving At The Right Pace 5 Ways to Pace You...
