Back on Track...?

So, this past week has been our spring break, but I am happy to say that I finished two out of my three novels by Nicholas Sparks. I finished the second one, Nights in Rodanthe, in basically one plane ride. Although I enjoyed Message in a Bottle more than the other novel, I can safely say that both were really great. They were what I expected, and more.

As I read through my novels, I began to wonder what aspects I am going to focus on in my research paper, as well as in my final project. Reading them is certainly helping me understand what makes a true love story. Sparks is a phenominal author who in my opinion, writes the best love novels I have ever read. They never lack any details and always surprise me with their twists.

This week, since I have been concentrating on actually reading the novels, I am going to start writing my research paper. Like Mr. Saxon said, I would love to get it out of the way and be one less thing to worry about. I will be brainstorming what I want to focus on in my research paper. I'm thinking I might want to write it on what makes a love story a quality story, or maybe some aspect about Spark's life that influenced him, particularly his writing style.

Here are some valuable websites that I consider using in my research paper:
this one includes actual interviews with Sparks throughout his writing career
the latest about his novels
information on Spark's life
