So, yeah, I have a job, andnot just a chores-kinda-job. A real, email-from-your-boss-work-and-get-paid-kinda-job!
I wprk for a website called YourSphere.com. Its such a cool place!! Its kinda like Facebook, but its for kids 17 and under, so its safer and MORE FUN!! :)
Follow this link to visit: http://www.yoursphere.com/
Anyway. There was this contest on the site that appeared after I first mad emy account about five months ago. It advertised "Do you love to write? Do you want to be paid to do what you ove? Thenenter htis contest and become a paid writer for YouSphere!" or something like that. So I enteredmy piece,...which was this blog!...and I won and got the job! I write articles and reviews for my boss on the topics that she gives me (i get to choose what I review for my review articles). And I get paid $10-$30 per article/review per month! Pretty cool, huh?
So yea. Thatsmy job. I love it!! I will have that job for 3 more years, then I will be promoted to YourSphere Ambassador, which means I kinda help run the site, and I get paid for that as well! :) so awesome.
Well, i gotta go. Lots of love, H

A Million More Miles
Heey!! Guess what my pudding cups?? I am writing yet ANOTHER BOOK!!! this one is a little different...so bear with me... A Million More Miles is an autobiography about my life. It is called A. Million More Miles because no matter how far i go, i know that there will always be more challenges on the other side of the mountain that i am climbing right now. So im writing this book to tell my story (and for those of you who dont know me that well this'll be quite interesting!) and to tell people thats its ok to be who you are no matter where you are or who youre with. Dont try to impress a guy and try to be someone youre not. It works, i know, but its not the right way to get a boyfriend. Trust me.
So, what do you think? Leave a comment below!

Color of Thunder
Heyhey, everyone!! Its been a while since I've posted something, so i will post something BIG and EXCITING to bring this blog back to life!!
I started a new book. Its called Color of Thunder, and here's what its about...
Jordan had always been a good girl. Smart, pretty, popular, and she came from a wealthy family. She loved life and everything in it. She couldnt think of anything that could distroy her happy little world. Until the thing she couldnt think of...happened. Jordan's parents started fighting, which leas to divorce, which leas to Jordan's world tumbling down. She felt lost and angry at everything...she was a completely different person. And the hardest part was, it felt like it was never going to change.
Color of Thnder is moving, thoughtful and reflective. It teaches that even when it seems like the world is ending and the thunder wont stop crashing, there is always life, happiness and color somewhere in the grayness of nothingness and anger.
Weeeeeeeell? Whaddia think?? Sound good? Let me know in the comments below (hey, that rhymes!), and give me your feedback! :)
For now, -H.R.

Falling Star - Back Cover Preview
Okay, people. This is it! Here is what I am planning to put on the back cover of my book "Falling Star" when it gets published!! Let me know what you think!! -HR
Ashley Andrews
is the daughter of a multi-millionaire actor in Hollywood, California
Hollywood, California
is no longer Ashley’s home when it gets destroyed by an earthquake
Stephani Martinez
would much rather spend her time texting and plugged into her iPod than play hostess when Ashley comes to live with her in Robbinsdale, Minnesota
Joe Larson
is the cutest guy at Robbinsdale High School and is quickly falling for Ashley
These four come together in Hannah Toutge’s first ever dramatic novel Falling Star to create one of the best books you have ever read
"Falling Star teaches a valuable lesson: to never give up on your dreams, even when your world is torn apart. Because if you keep hanging on, magical things can happen!"
-Hani Raye (Own Review)
Starred Review
Welcome!
Hello, everyone!
This is my first post on my blog Writer's Blok, so I think i should do a little introducing and explaining. Ready? Go!
Hi! My name is Hani Raye, and I am 13 years old. I live with my mom, dad, little sister, Ellie, two cats, Izzy and Kitty, and a dog (a beagle), Lacey. I live Somewhere Over the Rainbow, love to laugh, hang with friends, shop for new clothes and accessories, read, eat chocolate and bacon like there's no tomorrow, blog, and WRITE!!!
My love of words and books has inspired me to write several "short stories." But that was when I was like, eight or nine. Now I'm older, and I write BOOKS. My name has not been inserted into the history books as of yet (haha), but I'm working on it! :) I am currently working on the book that I hope will be publish-worthy in about six months, and that will make me the youngest person to write and publish a 300-page book (or longer) in the history of the world (The youngest person to ever publish a book was five years old, but her book went something like this: "The sky is blue. The ocean is blue. My blueberries are blue." Etc. Etc. It was called "Blue." No surprise there!). :) In my next blog post, you will be able to read a summary of my book, "Falling Star."
I do hope you enjoy reading this blog, as it was written for book fans and Hani Fans specifically in mind! The title, 'Writer's Blok,' was named for a "chronic disease" that most writers often get. It's when you are writing and writing and writing, and then suddenly, you run outta ideas for what you are writing, and your mind stays blank in that area for the next few hours, days, sometimes even weeks. I experienced that lately, and when I was setting up this blog, I figured that that was a perfect name for it. :) (NOTE: The miss-spelled word "Block" to "Blok" was supposed to happen. Dont worry, I know how to spell block.) :)
Stay tuned, readers! And be sure to keep coming back and checking in for new posts, as I will be posting them weekly, sometimes even daily.
