DOODLE

FICTION
It is a literary piece where in
there are doodles and graphics,
that are made by hand, added to
the text.
The drawings enhane the story,
often adding humorous
elements that would be missing
if the illustrations were omitted

A great example
of it is the DIARY
OF A WIMPY KID
SERIES.
Diary of a Wimpy
Kid is a series of
fiction books written
by the American author
and cartoonist Jeff
Kinney. All the main
books are the journals
of the main character,
Greg Heffley. Befitting
a teen's diary, the
books are filled with
hand-written notes
and simple drawings
of Greg's daily
adventures.

CHICKLIT
It is a term used to denote a genre
of fiction within the women's
fiction, written for and marketed to
young women, especially single,
working in their 20s and 30s.
The heroines are usually young,
attractive professional women, and
the book will often focus heavily on
their relationships, careers,
sexuality, shopping tastes and
habits, fashion, and so on. The tone
is usually light and humorous,
possibly self-effacing. 

An example of
this genre is the
movie LEGALLY
BLONDE.
Legally Blonde is a
2001 American 
comedy film based
on Amanda Brown's 
novel of the same
name. The film tells
the story of Elle
Woods, a sorority 
girl who attempts to
win back her ex-
boyfriend by getting
a Juris Doctor 
degree. The title is a
pun on the term
"legally blind".

BLOG
A Blog, short for Weblog, is a
personal online journal that is
frequently updated and intended
for general public consumption.
Blogs are defined by their format:
a series of entries posted to a
single page in reverse-
chronological order.
Blogs generally represent the
personality of the author or reflect
the purpose of the website  that
hosts the blog. Topics sometimes
include brief philosophical
musings, commentary on Internet
and other social issues, and links
to other sites the author favors,
especially those that support a
point being made on a post.
An example of a Blog is
BreakingintoStartups.com
A very inspiring blog founded by Artur
Meyster, Ruben Harris and Timur Meyster
that contains motivational stories about
startups and the people who work in them
and create them. It is a platform where
inspiring stories of people who broke into
technology from non-traditional
backgrounds are featured. They have a
mission to demonstrate that it is possible to
break into technology from any background
by featuring inspiring stories of people who
turned their perceived disadvantages into
advantages.
