Hi, everyone! I just wrote this essay about how experiential learning was indirectly used to help facilitate the discovery of this new type of ice called medium density amorphous ice. This essay was originally written for my high school robotics club, but I modified the wording a bit in this article to preserve my fellow classmates' privacy. There are still mentions of my team, though, and the ideas I wrote in this essay are basically the same as the ones I wrote for my high school's robotics club. Anyways, here is the link to the post:

Hi, everyone! Lately, I have been pondering the efficacy of MBTI. Is it really as great as people say it is? I decided to finally rethink my perceptions of MBTI and actually begin evaluating and analyzing it:https://lucylcarter.wixsite.com/websi...
Hi everyone!Today, I created an infographic presentation discussing a variety of workflows and methodologies that can be applied in project management. I originally wrote this for my high school's robotics club to help the team boost productivity and establish possible structure to their work process, but I thought the content might be useful to some people in the workplace. :)
You can see access the entire infographic here:

Hi, everyone!A few weeks ago, I submitted a presentation for school about a genetic disorder of my choice: Huntington's Disease.
I found the research interesting, as a science enthusiast, but I also found the disease quite harrowing, given the symptoms that arise as well as the present ambiguity about the protein that ends up being affected by the mutated gene. I decided it would be nice to raise more awareness about it, so I inserted the slides from the presentation in this blog post:

Hello, everyone! A few weeks ago, I decided to do a "bonus" art project for my math class. Essentially, this project was a piece of artwork inspired by basic coordinate geometry, such as rigid transformation, circle equations, etc. It's not super advanced or anything, but I decided it might just be a fun little project to show you guys. I explain the mathematics and thought process behind the creation of this project in the blog post below:

Hello, everyone!The link below will direct you to an infographic presentation explaining why I believe cellular respiration and survival is essentially like a cycle of cycles. This was originally just a project for my Biology teacher, but I decided to post this work online for you all of you to view it. Enjoy!

Hello everyone! Exciting news: I just published my first "horror" story! It's not published as a book, since it only takes about five minutes to read, but it is now available on my website for all of you to see! 😁😁This "story" is written in increments of three sentences, all of which comprise a longer, more cohesive narrative. Please note that I normally do not write horror, so you may or may not find this story very horrifying.

Originally written for a school project, Obscurity for the Outsider was a "song" I recorded inspired by Neil Gaiman's The Ocean at the End of the Lane! Please note that this song is nothing fancy and was not professionally recorded: I have never been formally educated in audio production, and I merely used a simple voice changer and online recorder to create this song---there are no instrumentals. That said, feel free to listen to this song!The audio recording of the song is posted in the link below. I have also copied/pasted all the lyrics so that you can follow along with them as you listen to the recording, and I added my explanation and interpretation of the song at the bottom of my blog post. Happy reading! View my blog post here:

Everyone is a little weird. Even the most rational minds and disciplined individuals come out with some of the oddest eccentricities. As an author, I have previously written about 25 of my Weird Bookish Habits back in the middle of 2022, but now that I have begun posting more in this blog, I decided to make things a little more personal: extend the weirdness not just to books, but to myself. This was why I created this blog post.

Martin Luther King once said, "Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase."But what if we really want to see the entire staircase? What, exactly, is so special about faith?
Lately, I have been struggling with my religion. It gets harder and harder to call myself a "Christian." Faith just feels so meaningless.
Today, I decided to confront these struggles by openly discussing them in this blog post. What exactly makes me struggle in the first place?
Learn about these struggles in the link below:

I hope you all, Christians and non-Christians alike, enjoy this! Happy reading!
Hi, everyone! I have now published another short story. Like my previous one, Live Well, this story belongs into the horror/thriller genre and is somewhat open-ended. It is not written in three-sentence increments like Live Well, so the narrative should flow a bit more. Still, feel free to give feedback on this! Horror is normally not my genre (which is why I only write short stories instead of entire books about it).You can read my story in my blog here:

Released on September 2nd, 2022, Prime Video's "Rings of Power" is a television show inspired by J. R. R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth. It is set thousands of years before the Twenty Rings of Power were forged, and, more notably, one of its main characters is the elf Galadriel. The show's portrayal of Galadriel has left fans divided. Some enjoy her character and the actress's depiction of it, while others thought it was badly written and ill-conceived.
What do you think?
As a Tolkien fan myself, I decide to address it in the blog post below:

English is a complicated language. For instance, the plural for "goose" is not gooses but geese, yet the plural for "moose" is simply moose, not meese. Likewise, words that are traditionally nouns can also have verb homonyms. For example, the word "buffalo" can either refer to the animal, the city, or the slang verb for "intimidate" or "baffle," hence the lexically ambiguous yet grammatically correct sentence "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo." Then there, of course, are the twisted pronunciation rules of the English language. For example, "tough," "bough," and "cough" all end in -ough, yet they all have distinct pronunciations.
There are countless pronunciation errors we can commit in the English language.
What kind of words do you tend to mispronounce?

Amid the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it is easy to for the mind to wander from what matters most. With work, small talk, and technology, it is only natural for our brains to bounce back and forth, leaving us in a loop of fleeting, superficial thoughts. It gets harder to focus and think deeply. Below is a list of fifty questions intended to get you back to thinking deeply. While this list is not necessarily comprehensive, the questions below can be a good starting point to provoking thought and stimulating the mind in a fun and accessible way.

Written by a student who has been taught with Common Core StandardsHave you been taught long division or partial quotients? Do you add and subtract numbers arithmetically, or do you use a number line to do so?
In other words, have you been taught mathematics traditionally or taught mathematics with Common Core standards?
Common Core Standards are a series of relatively recent educational standards that detail the milestones students from kindergarten to twelfth grade should reach by the end of each year of schooling. Each grade level is set with certain standards in English Language Arts and, of course, mathematics.
Due to the recency of Common Core standards, parents may find themselves puzzling over a seemingly simple fourth grade homework question in their child's math paper; these standards have not been initiated until 2010, so many parents may not even know what these standards are and what it is like to be taught with them.
This may bring parents and teachers to wonder: Are these standards effective? What is it like to be educated with these standards? What do students actually think about these standards? As a student who has been educated with Common Core math standards myself, I would like to provide a first-hand account of my experiences with common core.

My first blog post was written way back in August 23rd, 2022: it has been over a year since I began blogging on this website. When first published, this website contained the most sub-par web design and a meager two blog posts. I had no categories to filter out the posts by topic and no menu to navigate through different pages of my website. I did not even create separate web pages for my books, blog, About Me, and media/contacts. Everything was all just crammed into my Home Page, which could only be navigated through repetitive scrolling.
Now, thankfully, I have created a rainbow gradient menu that organizes my website into four different webpages: Home, Blog, Books, and Media and Contacts. I have also been able to organize each of my posts into four different categories in my "Blog" page. That way, readers can now select and navigate blog posts based on topic. Finally, and most importantly, my blog no longer has a meager two posts: this is now my 36th post to date. In other words, so much has happened in just a single year!
To all the readers who have stuck with me on Goodreads and stayed tuned with every update I post about this blog, thank you! Your comments, constructive feedback, and discussion on the threads I have posted in mean so much to me. This is why today, I dedicate an entire blog post to reflecting on my journey. Here, I will discuss my accomplishments, shortcomings, and stats for this year's worth of blogging.

Over a year ago, I wrote a blog post about my struggles with the Christian faith. In it, I questioned the nature of God, the validity of religion, and the applicability of Bible stories. Now to start off this new year, I would like to give you all an update about what has become of my religious struggles:https://lucylcarter.wixsite.com/websi...

I am Lucy Carter, a self-published teen author on Goodreads.
I originally used my Goodreads account as a reviewer, but after publishing my debut short story Logicalard Fallaciod, I decided to become a Goodreads author. I still use Goodreads to review my books and connect with fellow readers, but I also use it as a placeholder for all my writing.
I do not like to constrict myself to a single genre, as I have (and am planning on continuing to) write books/articles on a variety of different topics. (That's why I chose to write in the first place---the freedom, variety, and flexibility of it is incredible!) I do, however, find myself using writing primarily for intellectual purposes, whether that may be through a blog post, book, book review, or even a discussion on Goodreads. If I wrote something, it might be to learn, explicate, and apply certain gateways of knowledge or delve into deeper analysis about a certain topic. For instance, the debut I mentioned previously as well as my book The Reformation are both fictional stories that contain social commentary/critique. My soon-to-be-published book For the Intellect contains a bunch of essays and poems literally intended to stimulate the intellect. It is still possible to not intentionally write for intellectual purposes; some of my blog posts, for instance, are just personal things for self-expression, fun, bio, etc.
Here is the link to my blog, as well as the links that will give you free access to two of my books:

I will notify you all in this thread if I post/publish anything new. :)
Good luck in your publishing journeys!
