fungirl123 Hey, guys. So I need some writing advice. In my current story, the main character's boyfriend dies of leukemia. :( I want her to move on and find someone else. I already know who that someone is going to be, but I don't know what Noelle (My MC) should think of the guy when she’s still with Hunter (the BF who dies). Should she think he’s cute? Or…what? I seriously don’t know what to do… :\

8/26/2012 10:23:15 AM | Report

kenbon I think he should be someone she has known for most of her life, but never really knew that well. When Noells boyfriend becomes sick, the guy should offer some condolence, and over the whole ordeal they become closer.

12/29/2012 8:41:48 PM | Report

MountainLover456 So... Is Hunter dead? Well, even if he isn't, She should just think of him as a great BGF(The guy who she will end up with), and then she will start seeing him as more and more... Just a sugjesion!!!

fungirl123 Hey, people! :-) So before I leave for vacation tomorrow night for a week, I thought I’d write up another little “writing advice” thing again. This time I thought I’d talk about writing a historical fiction book. So, first off, I thought I’d say that writing a historical is probably the hardest genre to write! It’s a challenge. I’ve written a fantasy, realistic (multiple times) and I’m working on my first potential historical. All of the other times I’ve tried writing this genre, I’ve failed. It’s not easy! You have to get the names correct with the era, the way they talk, the things they wore, the social classes, how they connected with the opposite sex, etc. So the first thing I said was the names. I tell you now…you CANNOT have a main character living during the American Revolution with the name Brittany, or Travis. It’s hard to find names like that that you still like, but it’s possible. Also, if your planning to write one, you may want to shy away from boring names like Mary and James and, of course, the usual Victoria. Then comes the way they spoke. A lot of this depends on where they’re living. If it’s in steampunk London, they obviously spoke REALLY different; if it’s in the south, they probably said a lot of “reckon”. The way they dressed is a little easier, I guess, but not easy. This is when you need to start READING a lot of historical literature. Like right now, I’m reading a book called Bright Young Things, which takes place in 1929. They talked about how the girls were all of the sudden wearing shorter dresses and acting more like rebels. ;-) It also corresponds with the era. The social classes are something you need to look up, because it was different with all eras. Then comes one of the hardest ones of all: How they had what we would call “boyfriends” and “girlfriends” today. The good thing about this is that people had parties that went all the way back to really early 1800s. They courted and called them “beaus” instead of BF/GF. Those are really all of the elements you need to have a good historical fiction novel. Oh, wait, one more thing! :-D If your writing about, say, the Civil War, and your protagonist comes into contact with, say, Clara Barton (famous Civil War nurse and founder of the Red Cross), here are some pointers on being historically accurate, but also adding in your own little spice: 1.) The way that she looks should be the same as in the history books. 2.) The way she connects with the media/regular people should be the same. 3.) You CAN add in some things like how she ‘really’ is on the inside. Maybe to you she isn’t nice at all. Or maybe she has a huge secret. All of these rules can go with fanfiction if you want to write that! ^.^ Okay, that’s it. Talk to you guys on Friday – or maybe tomorrow! :-) ~Haley <3

sstods just remember with scenes with a lot of dialogue to make it as realistic as possible. AFTER you finish writing it, go back over and ask yourself if people would really say that in real life. I usually end up making it more realistic-sounding.

cityduck I like to practice good descriptions by silently narrating what i am doing or thinking being as descriptive and detailed as possible. It also gives me ideas for novels and stories!

5/18/2012 9:52:19 PM | Report

fungirl123 My biggest description tip is to always describe what area your character is in, what your character is doing, and the manner that your character is doing it in. Then your reader doesn’t even know that the setting it being described. I’ll use a tip from Go Teen Writers for this. Look at this quick paragraph from “Love Finds You in Annapolis, Maryland” by Roseanna M. White: “Emerson scraped the tavern chair across the wooden floor, fell into its hard seat, and, for the first time in his memory wished Wiley Benton would hold his tongue for five blasted minutes. He barely saw the familiar whitewashed walls, the wainscoting, the multitude of friendly faces. His mind still reeled, wrestling with images of those blinding diamonds - and the equally blinding tears in Lark's eyes.” Did you notice how things were being described as she was doing things? My tip for dialogue is to always describe how they are speaking, not just saying it. Instead of just having dialogue go back and forth between characters, DESCRIBE how they are saying it. Add details, details, details! :D

fungirl123 So, I know that I’m always starting a new story. But for me, it’s possible to write more than one story at a time. So here is the plot and details of my new story, The Diamonds of Aldridge: The Diamonds are an elite group at the famous Aldridge Academy. Aldridge is a school for only the best students in the country. The Diamonds even make those students feel unimportant. Now they want Gray. Gray Powell has always lived a life of hard work. If fact, she’s spent just about half of her teenage life up in her bedroom studying. That was all. Now it’s all paid off; she’ll be going to Aldridge Academy for her intellect and smarts. She knows what’s coming; tough teachers, strict rules, all of that stuff. But what Gray has absolutely no idea about is The Diamonds. They want her in their group. Gray is taken back by their offer, after hearing from a friend that they are snobby teenage girls who never let anyone into their group. But Gray joins. And soon she learns that life as a Diamond isn’t that magnificent as the girls make it to be. Gray isn’t the only girl in the school wanting to be in the club…lots of them had been invited. It takes a huge risk and something that could ruin Gray’s future forever to help her finally learn that life on the cliquey side isn’t all it’s said to be. “A woman who sooner or later discovers she is the master-gardener of her soul is the director of her own life.” ~James Allen *What do you all think?!* <3

Make a list of questions and, as your character, answer them to find out more about your character and what they would do in certain situations. This is a great tip that has helped me get into my character’s heads. 2. Make sure there are details, details, details!

4/11/2012 3:51:43 PM | Report

fungirl123 (This post is continued from my last post) Most of my boys’ names are very unique. I don’t really like to use regular boys’ names. Usually, boys’ names bore me. But here are some of my favorites: Brighton is first. Actually, it’s a female name from a soap opera. But I find this a very boyish name. It means “from the bright town”. Next is Damon. At first, this name always turned me off because it’s so freaking close to “demon”. LOL :P But it just seems like a very masculine name. It means “to tame”. Next is River. I know; crazy, right? Who would name a kid this? But it just sounds very dramatic. And it means (you guessed it) “river”. Haha. :D Decker is my next name. I would just love to see a character named Decker in a book. It means “digger of ditches” (LOL). Kiefer is next. It kind of reminds of a very ‘nerdy’ boy. It means “pine tree”. My next name is very, very hot for me. I’d love for my husband’s name (Let me dream!) to be Harper. I’ve used this a bunch of times for last names. But I still love it! It means “harp player” (h-o-t.). ;) I think that my next name could be used for the school jock or athlete. It’s Jett. A simple one-syllable name. It means “dark”. Cordero is next. It can be shortened to Chord or Cord. It means “little lamb”. My next name is Harlan. I don’t really know if I’d use this. It’s not really popular at all. It’s Harlan. I love “H” names for boys for some reason. So that’s why I’d love to give it a try. It means “dweller by the Boundary Wood”. Next is Braden, which has no meaning. But I love it! <3 My final boy name is Tripp. We all think of Sarah Palin’s son (or maybe grandson), I know! But how cute is this name. It means simply “third”. Well, to end this, I thought that I’d list a bunch of surnames (last names) for books or stories. Here are a bunch: Lockhart, Montenegro, Holden, York, Chandler, Forester, Bauer, Southerland, Deveron, Carver, Harman, Roberts, Barrett, Delgado, Winthrop, Bledel, Clayton, Curtiss, Atkinson, Thorsten & Garretson. Hope that my couple of posts could be helpful. I love names and everything about them. Please post your thoughts in the comments section about these boy and girl names! :) I’d LOVE to know your thoughts. <3 Well, talk to you all soon. Kisses! –Haley <3

fungirl123 **TOPIC ALERT** Hey, guys! :-) It’s Haley. Sorry that it’s been a few days since I’ve posted. But I have a new discussion topic to talk about: Character Names. I don’t know about you, but I’m completely obsessed with them. I love researching them and looking at very unique names and all that. This list isn’t in any one-to-ten list, it’s just a bunch of names that I like. Not in any order. :) So here is a more-than-average long post about names (Girls’ names first) My first name is Greenlee. Greenlee means “From the green field”. I just fell in love with this baby girl name when I heard it. <3 My next name is Skye. Skye doesn’t have much of a meaning besides “Isle of Skye”. This name just reminds me of a teenage girl, so it’s great for when you’re writing a book or story. My next name is Penelope. On the website that I’m using, Penelope didn’t have a meaning. :-( But I just think of a girl who is from a family of wealth or glory. My next name is Grayson. I love this name so much. I adore it when it’s shortened to Gray. I would so name my next character this. The meaning is (this doesn’t really make sense to me) “son of steward”. :\ But I love the name nonetheless. The next one is Luna. It just reminds me of a little girl who is really quiet and isn’t much of a talker. It means “The Moon”. *How adorable!* <3 My next female name in my favorites list is Aida (Pronunciation: Eye – EE – da). This name simply means “happy”. My next name is very unique and I doubt we’ll ever see it rise in popularity in today’s teens and pre-teens. It is Silver. It means exactly what it is: “a metal element” (LOL). It sounds like a name that should’ve been in The Hunger Games, right? They sure did have a lot of out-there names! My next name is very laid-back. It’s Blair. The meaning is the same as I thought. It means “plain”. My next name is Eden. It means “paradise”. This name would make a really nice middle name. :) My next name is Autumn. It just means “fall”. When I see the name Autumn, I think of a little girl born in the fall with a lot of freckles and bouncy reddish-brown curls. Noelle is next. This name would be great for a Christmas-y story or book. It means “born on Christmas Day”. <3 Adrielle is next. I kind of made this name up. I had previously used the name Arielle and I needed a twist on that name. So I made up Adrielle. My last female name is Delilah. Delilah is a very beautiful name that isn’t very popular in teenagers, but is still very lovely. There is a high schooler in our previous musical named Delilah and she is the most talented girl in the school. She has a wonderful soprano voice and is our choreographer. :D So whenever I hear Delilah, I think a very talented and gifted girl. Surprisingly, it means “one who was weakened”. :\ But I still love the name! (This post is already kind of long. So I’m going to make a whole new post about boys’ names.) Kisses! <3

So when I read them, I go through and mentally pick out the mistakes. You don’t have to be rude to the person that wrote it. But make notes to yourself to not make the same mistake.

I THINK I already posted my first summary on the club, but I added more to it. Here’s the summary of “Charity’s Battle”: Charity Wells is a spoiled rich sixteen year old who loves partying and showing off her beautiful figure. She lives the most amazing life ever in her wealthy family’s home with Negro servants waiting on her every move. Charity also has a love for making her younger sister—Rachel—jealous of how men swoon over her…and the fact that Charity is now engaged to a handsome Confederate soldier who just left for war. But not too long after the war begins, Charity gets a touch of reality. She must care for the younger siblings and care for her mother…who has just fallen terribly ill. Charity thinks that nothing can get worse…until she learns that her fiancé was killed at war. Then her life just hits rock bottom. It all comes down to what she really feels in her heart when she finds a wounded young Union soldier in her family’s barn. Forced with choices that could affect her country, she decides to help him. By the time the war has ended, Charity has become a whole different person. Now she knows that anyone can get by as long as there is hope.

fungirl123 Also, I recommend (I know this makes me sound like an English teacher), but use sources…like a Thesaurus! It really DOES make you a better writer to use more…interesting words. Like, if your character is vain, use a better word than just “hair” to describe her looks. Use a word like “tresses”, etc. Or if you want a better word that just plain “happy”, use a word like…”jovial”, “merry”, “gleeful’, etc. Or “face”, a better word would be “appearance”, “expression”, etc. One word that I am SO tired of seeing in English class (when we’re doing writing projects) is just plain “a lot”. There are SO many other words to use. How about “loads”, “clumps”, “masses”, “bundle”, etc. And, honestly, I’m using my little cousin’s Children’s Thesaurus to look for these words. It will be worth it to find a much better word.

fungirl123 So, I found this amazing writing checklist on Go Teen Writers (http://goteenwriters.blogspot.com). It’s basically helped me for the past for days in my writing. Here you go: 1) Is there a good beginning hook? Does it drop the reader into the fictional dream? If not, what changes need to be made 2) Is there well-defined conflict and a feasible problem for the protagonist to solve? If not, what problem/event can be added or heightened? 3) Is there a brief description of the setting/time and place? Does it inform the reader without boring them? What changes can be made to improve this? 4) Does each chapter “begin with a bang”? Or does it start slowly, with unnecessary details or backstory? Where does the chapter really begin? Do I need to eliminate things that dull the beginning? 5) Was the chapter compelling? Will it keep readers turning pages? Or was it filler? What can be done to fix this? 6) Did the chapter move the plot forward? What is this chapter’s purpose? 7) Will the ending of the chapter hook the reader? Will they want to read more? Can you end the chapter a page earlier and gain more tension? 8) Are there any flashbacks? Are they necessary? Do they slow the plot down? How can they be shortened or made more dramatic? 9) Were there enough sensory descriptions? Do they seem too wordy? Would the reader skip over them or do they add to the fictional dream? 10 )Was the dialog consistent with each character’s age, education, and view on life? Was it full of tension? Did the character’s “pass the time of day” in any parts? Delete those and reword. 11) Are the character’s actions consistent with their personalities? If not, is there a genuine reason why they acted out of character? Is this reason revealed to the reader? 12) Are there unnecessary dialog tags that can be omitted, such as when only two characters are conversing? Is it clear which character is speaking? 13) Is there any “head hopping” or unclear POV’s? Is the POV consistent? Make changes accordingly. 14) Are there any continuity errors, such as character descriptions, etc.? 15) Are the historical details conveyed accurately? Double check sources. (Note. This only applies to novels set not in the present era) 16) Any clichés that can be replaced? Replace these with fresh intriguing phrases. 17) Is the inspirational element present in a way that is not preachy? Is the character’s faith journey displayed at all? 18) Is there continual romantic tension? (Note. This only applies to romances or novels with romantic subplots) 19) Is the chapter a suitable length? Is it too long or too short? 20) Is all grammar and punctuation correct? **Lastly, when ending the book and that last chapter, consider: 21) How is the ending of the book? Were all subplots wrapped up? Was it a dramatic “leave the reader pondering ending”, along with a lasting impression. Can it be improved?

inmyownlittleworld Selena It all started when I was six. It was my first day of school and it was a nightmare, but not for the reasons you may think. I was perfectly fine with leaving my comfortable home, to go to a giant unknown building, with millions of strangers. Yeah, I know that’s weird, but I was always up for a challenge and I really wanted to meet some new people. My problem was nobody else was as ok with the idea as I was. I walked in looking determined and automatically fell to the floor screaming. Nobody of course paid any attention because all the other people were screaming too, but yet again, not for the reason I was. My mom freaked out and yelled at my dad, “I knew we should have home schooled her! This is all your fault you ignorant jerk! How could you do this to her? She is probably scared to death! Come here baby! Mommy’s here, don’t cry.” Mom is always blaming dad for everything and I usually stop it before it gets out of hand, but at the time I couldn’t do anything. My eardrums were pounding, voices coming from everywhere. I screamed louder trying to get somebody, anybody, to notice the level of pain I was in. It didn’t work. I had to get out of there, so I started to run. I didn’t know were to go but I didn’t care I had to get away from all the voices. I ran and ran until I couldn’t run anymore, and at that point I was so tired and in so much pain that I passed out. My parents found me two days later sleeping in a dried up creek bed, and ever since, I’ve been “home schooled”. You’re probably wondering why I put air quotes around home schooled, aren’t you? Well, its simple. My parents never really kept up on my lessons. My life was a confusing mess from then on. My dad died when I was eight and my grandma moved in when I was ten. I'm fourteen now. My mom is a mess and I practically take care of my self. By the way, my name is Selena Vice and I'm a psychic, but I don’t know it yet. DAMEN I’m average. Messy brown hair and deep green eyes that should make girls swoon, if I didn’t have a face full of acne and the biggest, dorkiest glasses the world has ever known. My grades average from B’s to A’s and I'm often called a teachers pet, but I have several friends. I'm not an outsider but I'm not really super popular either. I'm a typical teenager who likes to look for trouble and often enough finds it. That’s me, Damen Reed. My parents are divorced and I don’t really know them, so I live with my Aunt. That’s fine though because she is practically my birth mom. My uncle lives with us but he is constantly traveling because of his job as a pilot for the Air Force. My aunt and I are really proud of him for serving our country so we don’t mind that he’s gone all the time. When I was seven, we moved to New York because he was training there and would be staying for several years, and we have lived there ever since. I go to public school and hold a job as a paperboy so I could feel like I help support the family along with my Uncle. Sometimes when I'm on the job, I will ride by a girl named Selena’s house and toss a paper to them (even though I know they don’t pay for it). She gets mad at me but I just say it was an accident and tell her to keep it (I can tell she is grateful even though she acts angry). I do this because I know they are dirt poor. Her mom doesn’t have a job and I feel really bad for them, sometimes I even feel guilty because I have stuff that she doesn’t. I may like to find trouble but I'm a good guy at heart. I love the world and the world loves me. SELENA I wake up at the usual time, 6:30, and walk downstairs craving cereal, milk-less cereal, yeah.*sigh* I wish. Instead of my perfect cereal I get sour milk and moldy cheese for breakfast. This tends to happen when my mom forgets to order the groceries. Oh well, maybe granny will do that puzzle she promised we would do today, I doubt it but hey, it’s worth a shot. I walk quietly to my grandmother’s bedroom and gently knock on the door. “Granny, can I come in?” “Yes honey, come in” “Um, do you think we could do that puzzle you promised today?” “Don’t you have to go to the store?” “Yeah but I can go later” “No, food first and go now so I can have a decent breakfast” “Yes ma’am” Called it. Guess I’ll have to go to the store anyway, Ug, I HATE grocery shopping! You never know which product is good or not and I'm not old enough to get the alcohol my mom wants so I get yelled at from her for that. And I can’t drive so that complicates things; luckily the store is only a couple blocks away so I don’t have to walk that far. It’s chilly outside so I grab my coat and start walking, since my mom doesn’t have a job I have to use food stamps sometimes but today I was lucky, when I was outside yesterday I helped one of my neighbors take groceries inside and she insisted on giving me $5, plus the $10 I had gotten for Christmas. I also found a newspaper in the driveway this morning, the paperboy swears he does it on accident but sometimes I know he does it out of pity, but I was grateful because it gave me some coupons to use. When I got to the grocery store my head immediately started pounding and voices were coming from everywhere, I have no idea how other people stand this but I just popped some headphones in my ears and turned Owl City up to full blast. First things first I sat down at the tables by the Starbucks cart so I could look through what coupons I had. Some of them were for silly things like Boost energy drink and tic-tacs, but others were useful like 50% off whole milk and $2.00 off general mills cereal. Once I had gone through the coupon and torn the useful ones out I grabbed a cart and headed to the dairy section, then the meat, and finally through the isles. I ended up with a box of honey nut cheerios, a half gallon of milk, a carton of cheep eggs, ground beef, pasta, spaghetti sauce, and a Gatorade. I went to the self check out and started ringing up my items and scanning my coupons, my total was $16.50. “Crap” I muttered under my breath. That’s lovely; well I guess its bye, bye Gatorade. Darn, but just as I was about to move it someone came up behind me and swiped there card on my machine. Spinning around yanking my headphone out, which caused the voices and pounding to come back I was perfectly ready to slap whoever it was but I froze. “Damen?” What was the paperboy doing paying for my food? “Yeah?” Dang I could barely hear him over all the voices “What are you doing?” I asked anger burning in my eyes “Helping you, I mean you can’t tell me you didn’t want that Gatorade” he knew me well, and it was kind of, well, creepy. “I did but I'm used to not being able to afford the stuff I want” “Come on nobody likes to put stuff back, think of it as a Christmas present” dang he is good looking when he argues, wait what am I thinking?! “Hate to break it to you bucko but Christmas was two weeks ago” “And?” he’s good “Fine, whatever, just go” “Are you sure? I could help you carry stuff home” he sounded almost desperate, that’s strange. “I'm sure, ok?” “Ok” seeing his face drop made me sad but I wasn’t some old lady who needs help walking across the street. Instantly relieved from al l the voices when I got out of the store I sighed. As I walked home, I drank my Gatorade and thought about him, why was he always helping me? Do I look bad or something? Oh well I guess its probably not something I should worry about, because really, I was thankful I really wanted a Gatorade but knew I probably wouldn’t be able to get it. Sometimes that boy was too nice for his own good. DAMEN After finishing my grocery shopping I caught a cab and thought about what happened. What did I do? It was weird I felt like for some reason I HAD to go talk to her, like something was compelling me, But she was angry. I honestly don’t know why I had that feeling, and then buying her groceries? It was almost like I was hitting on her, geez. What was I turning into? Ugh, I don’t want to think about it. As the cab pulled up to my driveway I flashed the driver my winning smile and gave her $10. “Have a nice day Damen!” she said as she drove away. She knows me well, I guess it makes sense I mean I take her cab every time I go shopping. Walking in the door of my suburban home I shouted, “Aunt Becky! I'm home!” “Hey baby! Did you get onions?” she came out of the kitchen with spaghetti sauce on her apron and flour in her hair I followed her back into the kitchen and grabbed a towel to wipe it all off. “Yes of course.” “Good boy!” she said with a smile. My aunt was a short haired red head, with deep forest green eyes and a smile that screams ‘I'm a mom and I'm darn proud of it!’ She’s the only mom figure I’ve ever had so yes technically she is my mom. My uncle Shawn is a strict but fair man with long black-brown hair (that he always keeps in a ponytail) and dark brown eyes; he is my father figure in this little family. I love my aunt and uncle and wouldn’t trade them for the world, I sometimes accidentally call them mom and dad. “Do you want me to cut them for you?” “Do you have homework?” she knows me. “Yeah, but...” “No buts mister you go upstairs and do your homework, go, march!” she was trying to be strict but she was smiling so I knew. I threw my hands up in mock defeat. “Ok, ok! You win” I walked upstairs to my awesome car themed bedroom and sat on my bed. Aunt Becky knew me better and would probably know I wasn’t doing my homework right now, but she doesn’t care as long as it gets done. I pulled my new I-pod touch out of my backpack and searched for Owl City, my favorite band. I Cranked Hello Seattle up to max volume and pulled out my notebook. I’ve had an interest in writing short stories lately. The one I'm working on right now is about a ghost and a girl who become friends and goes like this; “Boo!” the ghost screamed with all his might at the tiny little girl before him, but instead of screaming, she giggled. “Be afraid, I am your worst nightmare!” he tried harder and harder to get this girl to scream but the more he tried the more she laughed. This was all I had so far but I only started it yesterday. Welcoming the relief from the drama of what happened today I wrote; “Why do you laugh at me little girl?” he asked becoming frustrated. In a high-pitched girly voice she answered, “You say you are my worst fear, but I don’t believe that is possible” “And why is that?” he asked, trying and failing to still look angry and not amused. “Because I'm afraid I don’t know what my biggest fear is” she was obviously as confused as she was trying to make him believe. “Everyone has fears and everyone has one that is scarier than the others” “Damen!” Aunt Becky yelled at me from downstairs. She sounded like she had been crying. “Yes?!” I yelled out my bedroom door. “I just got a phone call, it was Uncle Shawn’s supervisors they… Why don’t you come downstairs and let me explain.” “Ok” I said not trying to mask the worry in my voice. Hurrying down the stairs and running to the kitchen in search of my aunt. When I found her, her makeup was smeared and wet lines ran down her face. When she saw me she tried to wipe it all off but eventually gave up and crumpled into my out stretched arms sobbing. “There, there its ok tell me what happened” still sobbing she told me that Uncle Shawn’s supervisors called and said his plane had been shot down and that he was in the hospital. “Can we visit?” I asked half hoping for a no. I was afraid of what he would look like and if I would be able to stomach it. “Yes but not for a couple days” She was calming down but was still pretty upset. “Oh Auntie its ok, he will be ok” I tried my best to get her to stop crying. Honestly it was scaring me; I’ve never seen somebody cry so much. It pretty much worked but every once and a while a lone tear would trickle slowly down her cheek. I myself even shed a few tears. My uncle had been in the Air Force for over 15 years and nothing like this had ever happened before. It was beyond tragic and a major thing in this family, and to be honest; I was terrified. SELENA When I got home my mom automatically started screaming at me. “Oh hello Selena” She said Selena like it was a poison. “Let me guess the guy ‘wouldn’t let you’ get my beer again?” “No mama he wouldn’t let me get your beer” “Of course not, you pathetic little twerp!” With that she stumbled back into her bedroom and slammed the door shut. I was so annoyed I started pantomiming what I wanted to have happened ‘Welcome home Selena how was the store?’ ‘Oh great mom thanks for asking!’ ‘Did that mean guy ring you up again?’ ‘Nope I went to self check-out today’ ‘Oh, that’s just wonderful honey!’ Yeah like that conversation will ever happen. Oh well. I went to the attic, also known as my bedroom, and sat down on the springy blue mattress I call a bed to relax. I was kicking of my shoes when I noticed a cream colored envelope on my dresser. I quietly walk over and pick it up. On the front is my name in cursive and a complicated heart made from several loops and curls. It was so beautiful! The envelope was made of some kind of satin paper and was closed with an eagle wax seal. Careful not to rip the paper I lifted the seal and pulled out the letter. Dear my darling Selena, If you are reading this then it means I have either gotten kicked out by your mother or I have died. Hopefully not the latter but just in case, I wrote this. I first want you to know I loved your mother. Even if she yelled at me or hit me, I loved her, and I love you, but there is something that your mother and I never told you. We wanted to wait until you were older but it was mainly me who wanted to tell you so I wasn’t sure if she would ever tell you. You are special, like me. It has been passed through our family for many years and now you are a part of it. You are… The last part was smeared and the only thing I could make out was, Love, Dad At the bottom. I'm what? Special? What did he mean by special? Maybe it was a practical joke, mom? No she wouldn’t do that. Would she? DAMEN The hospital was beyond scary. It was loud, and clean, and just to perfect. I kept expecting someone to jump out dripping blood or something, guess not. The only other time I’ve been in a hospital was when I broke my arm trying to ride a bike backwards when I was six. Then, I was in the colorful, brightly light, and some-what happy children’s wing, now I'm in the adult part and everything is so depressing, from the tan-white walls, to the crying relatives, to the never-ending chorus of coughing and screaming. I had just about had enough when the doctor came out to let us in to Uncle Shawn’s room. Aunt Becky rushed right in, but I hesitated. I have never seen my Uncle in anything but perfect condition, and wasn’t exactly thrilled to break that record. Even though the thought of blood and gore scares me to death, I have to be there to support him. When I walk into the room I am beyond relieved, when I look at him I see no blood, no gore, just a couple white bandages covering his wounds and a cast on his right arm and leg, Green, perfect for him. I follow his left arm, which was pulled off the bed slightly, and find it firmly grasped in Aunt Becky’s hands, she’s crying again. I walk over to comfort her but she shakes her head and smiles in Uncle Shawn’s direction. I get it, she’s with him. That’s all she wanted. When I look at him he opens his eyes ever so slightly as if he is looking into the sun on a bright morning, moans, then he closes them again. I can feel the tears welling in my eyes but this time they are for joy. Joy that he is alive, and with us today. I walk slowly over to his other side and sit down. Looking straight into his closed eyes, I prayed for the first time in years. ~~~ The next morning I woke up to the sound of a medical machine going off. It took me a few moments to get my bearings but once I did I relaxed. Looking around the room I saw two nurses attending to Uncle Shawn’s casts and my aunt, fast asleep on the guest couch. When I looked at Uncle Shawn’s face, I smiled, his eyes were open. One of the nurses looked at me smiled and left. Leaving my, my Uncle, My Aunt, and the other nurse alone. I found out that the nurse’s name is Sally and that she is going to be my Uncle’s primary nurse. Three hours later she left as well. “Are you hungry?” my aunt asked in a tired voice. “A little” She pointed to her purse and said, “Get some cash and buy yourself something from the cafeteria” “are you sure?” I asked “I can just wait until we get home if you want” “no, get something now, I don’t know how long we are going to be here” “ok” I replied with a sigh as I walked through the almost empty halls I had some time to think, but for some reason my thoughts kept coming back to selena. Why do I keep thinking about the girl nobody likes? I have no idea.

fungirl123 In English class, we're reading a novel called “Maniac Magee”. It's about a boy who runs away from home and comes to a town that's EXTREMELY racist. It's a pretty short book, though. I LOVE IT SO FAR! BTW, if anyone needs advice on writing, please ask me on my profile…my computer is very slow on this club. So please ask me there, then I’ll be mre likely to answer a lot more quickly!! 

sstods has anyone here ever tried to write a dystopian novel? some good examples are: Delirium by Lauren Oliver, Divergent by Veronica Roth, and the Uglies series by Scott Westerfield. My current novel is dystopian and it's called Peace No More. An easy Definition to remember is “an imaginary place where things are as bad as it can be” in Delirium, you get paired with someone and they cure you so you can’t fall in love! In Divergent, you must pick a group to live in once you’re an older teen, and in the Uglies series when you turn 16, you get an operation where you turn “pretty” so everyone looks the same. These are my 3 favorite books and they are all dystopian so obviously I love dystopian. My novel that I’m working on is dystopian and it is about another Holocaust happening in the future, only with different cultures! What do you think of dystopian? Shelby

sstods here is a poem I wrote about bullying and sticking up for yourse! tell me what you think! thanks: And everytime she turned around She saw someone falling down. Her eyes deep into their soul, Making them look like a fool. The dropped down to her glory Making sure that they looked sorry. Even though they did nothing wring She glares at them as if they did. Her piercing eyes that guys fall for When really she is just a bore. So when she says get outta my way I will not obey because I know she Doesn't rule the World. And she doesn't own me. -Shelby

MusicTaughtMeHowToLive Here emmiecandy, this is a poem I did about summer, sorry it isnt in poem format! This is the piece I want to use to get the idea adviser or any position that is open! Here it is called Summer: Summer, Where I can be free of school, And not worry about anything, Go outside with a tee and capris, And do whatever I feel like, Ready for anything. Summer, Where I can swim at the pool, Almost everyday, And with my best friend beside me, Talking about whatever is on her or my mind, Not being afraid to say anything. Summer, Where I can go to camp, Meet new friends, new people, Being myself. Summer, Where I can find a book, Read it cover to cover, Laugh, cry, and smile, And understand the character's problem, Compare it to my life, Knowing this book is for the memories. Summer, Where my life is all-as-it-should-be, Thanking God for the times, That I live, laugh, love. And soon enough, school will around the corner, And I will be sad, because all those free times, Will be over, and it will be time to go back-to-the books. But I will be glad for the times I had with me, My family, and friends.... And can't wait for the next....... Summer. Hope you liked it...thanks for considering me!

volleyball514 If you have really bad writer's block, try writing backwards from the end of your story, or even jump in the middle. Just writing a chapter not necessarily in order can help get your creative juices flowing!

We would all love to hear more, im sure! :) And absolutely, I will be sharing my plot with everyone: It’s the year 2765. Europe was taken over by new people. The land is now Inguana and all children are forced to learn about the Holocaust in school. Sir Ettin, the dictator, is strong and has all the power, keeping the Christians separate from the Jews. Everyone thought they were learning about the Holocaust so it would never happen again, but it’s actually the exact opposite. Sir Ettin wants everyone to know just how bad it’s going to be. This story is told by the viewpoint of thirteen year old Malaya. Will Malaya and her dearest friend make it out alive? Well, let me know what you think and you can check out my profile page on camp nanowrimo right here: http://www.campnanowrimo.org/campers/sstods/novels/peace-no-more.

LexilicousCandy Here's the prologue from my new novel "Black Love". Please tell me what you think! BLACK LOVE PROLOUGE ADELAINE His eyes were a beautiful green with gold flecks. He looked like a Greek god with a muscular build, chiseled jaw, and probably the softest looking lips I ever saw. I was surprised girls weren’t all over him. He was standing under a weeping willow and it was like he was invisible. For some reason though I was strangely drawn to him like a moth to light. I just wanted to go over to him and do something, I didn’t know what but it didn’t matter as long as I was with him. That urge turned out to change my life as I knew it, and I’m not sure it was for the better. LUCAS I could feel her staring at me; I also noticed how she tried to be discreet. Oh how heavenly she looked with her black curls softly accenting her face as a slight breeze blew by. She was sitting on a park bench trying to read with one leg crossed over the other. Suddenly I was sure she was the girl. She was the light in my past, my key to the future, and the cure for my black heart… TO BE CONTINUED So what do you girls think? It’s from my new novel. However I’m just putting up the prologue until I see if people like it. If you want to read more I will be posting the rest story on my clubs “Bookworms & Writers” and *TogetherForever* and on my profile! Please tell me what you think! Thanks! :) ~Lexi

Here is a poem of mine, called Lasting Memories! A narrow hallway, my empty past. I try to think when I’m all alone, but the memories never last. Forced to sit here, all alone. I can’t bear this place, I need to leave. But I can’t, someone’s watching me. So look away, not at me, much too painful for human eyes. It was to me the very first time. Next to me, a girl lets out a whimper. Tears running down her cheek, her beautiful face, soft and meek. I look over, tears streaming down her face. Breaking free, we reunite, as I wrap my daughter in a warm embrace.

Summer, Where I can swim at the pool, Almost everyday, And with my best friend beside me, Talking about whatever is on her or my mind, Not being afraid to say anything. Summer, Where I can go to camp, Meet new friends, new people, Being myself. Summer, Where I can find a book, Read it cover to cover, Laugh, cry, and smile, And understand the character's problem, Compare it to my life, Knowing this book is for the memories. Summer, Where my life is all-as-it-should-be, Thanking God for the times, That I live, laugh, love. And soon enough, school will around the corner, And I will be sad, because all those free times, Will be over, and it will be time to go back-to-the books. But I will be glad for the times I had with me, My family, and friends.... And can't wait for the next....... Summer.

Dreamweaver15 To be honest, yes, I do judge the book by the author. If I see that a man has written a youth book then I immediately think he won't do as good of a job as a female author would.

SkyGirl7 An autobiography should be about major events that shaped who you are today. In twenty years, today will be yesterday, You can't write about tomorrow's today. That's why you will have to wait to have a full autobiography & to do major editing.

SkyGirl7 When you're an adult, you can use all of the information that you gathered and make an autobiography with it. You may choose to take out some things. You should certainly add others, as you will have new memories and new people in your life.

SkyGirl7 If, however, you are set on writing an autobiography, try keeping a journal, writing different memoirs, and recording details & memories from when you were younger. Piece as much as you can together. As you get older, add more.

7714st The Perfect Fortune- He traced a heart on her hand and she smiled. It was New Years Eve, and they were watching a movie. All of the people around them were sucked into it, it was an important scene. But she just concentrated on the feeling of his hand in hers, and the hearts he traced there. When the movie ended, it was only half an hour before midnight. Fireworks went off outside, and everyone ran out, excited. They exploded in a symphony of color and sound, surrounding them with the bangs and sparks. She jumped every time, but she loved them. It was strange. At the last minute before she left home, she had put on her necklace with the word "fireworks" engraved on it. They went back inside, found fortune cookies and opened them. Most of the kids had opened several until they found a fortune they liked. She only opened one. She smiled when she read it. It was the perfect fortune for the perfect night. Then the count down began. Only one minute left. They all rushed over to the television to see the ball drop in Time's Square. Everyone started chanting. "Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one! HAPPY NEW YEAR!" The crowd exploded. The kids blew their noisemakers, ran outside, and lit their sparklers. They all laughed and smiles were as contagious as the chicken pox. The new year was here at last! He hugged her, and pulled her in for a kiss. Her first kiss on the first day of a new year. She dropped her fortune and it fluttered away in the wind. Later that night, her boyfriend found her fortune and picked it up. He read it aloud to himself. "Your love life will soon be happy and harmonious." He smiled. "It's perfect, don't you think?" She just smiled and held his hand.

7714st New story-Hope you like it!---It was a long, hot bus ride after a long, hot field trip. The windows were open, so it cooled down a bit. Everyone was talking, their voices tumbling over each other. I was tired, yawning again and again. Henry sat next to me, his head against the window, eyes closed. I watched him, smiling slightly. He already had laugh lines, at such a young age. We sat so close that another person could have sat in the seat with us, with a little bit of room. My eyes started drooping. I looked over at Henry, he had sat up. I argued with myself inside, trying to decide whether or not our classmates would make fun of us if I put my head on his shoulder to sleep. Ultimately I chose to set my head down and face the humiliation. It never came. An hour and a half long bus ride, but I couldn't fall asleep. I kept awake, my eyes closed. Every time his hair or skin so much as brushed my head, a light shock ran down my body, butterflies turning figure eights in my stomach. I heard conversations, things said that I would have never known otherwise. Winding roads, straight roads, but always on the highway. For quite some time the sun shone down right on us, illuminating my every feature. I silently begged him to hold my hand, put his arm around me, something to show he cared. I knew he cared, so why did it matter so much that he showed it. I knew he was not a very affectionate person, I understood that. But I was affectionate. I was a hopeless romantic, always wishing. I thought nothing would happen when at last we were in the last five or so minutes of the ride. I was wrong, as usual. Thinking me still asleep, he leaned down and ever so gently kissed me on my head. "Wake up sleepy head."

reeses150 Anazar Once there was a girl named Katania who lived in England. She was just a normal girl. Or so she thought. She was walking home when she saw something glinting in the well, she passed every day. She walked over to it and strained to see what was inside. Then she found herself falling. The impact jolted through her spine and every part of her hurt. Standing up hurt her leg hurt so badly she screamed with agony. Somebody had to have heard her. She noticed some of the bricks jutted out in a way easy enough to climb. Mustering all her strength and ignoring the pain that kept growing she stood up. Pressing the first brick down with her foot it suddenly slid away. Taking one step back she muttered to herself “What the heck is that?” Suddenly a giant staircase appeared where the wall was. With her leg screaming resistance she ran as fast as she could down the stairs. The light in the distance grew a she ran closer. The mouth of the tunnel opened up to a gleaming gold city. She stood rooted to the spot for a minute awestruck at the beauty of the city. She started walking down a gentle slope of emerald green grass. Looking up she saw huge lights that were blindingly bright. People were milling about living there normal lives. From the palace with a telescope an old wizard named Incantation told his young apprentice ,Cantal, to go fetch the girl “ Make haste or I shall have your head!” he barked at the young boy. “Yes master,” said Cantal solemnly. He raced down to her. As he was bringing her back she realized just how much smaller she was than the handsome boy with dark brown eyes and dark hair she was. Resisting would do no good but she tried any way. Struggling against his strength she said “Let me go, tell me something please. I know nothing about this place and I’m trapped, “ The pleading look in her eyes made him stop and say “ Katania- oops Princess Katania, I’m sorry your unhappy but there is nothing I can do but try to keep you safe or I shall be killed myself.” More questions raced through her head but before she could ask him what he was talking about they stopped at a door. “This is his study,” Cantal informed her. “Come in,” said a loud booming voice that could only belong to Incantation. The man had snowy white hair and a beard to match. “This all may be very confusing but I shall explain it all to you,” Incantation said comfortingly but Katania never found out what was said after that because she ran out of the palace to who knows where because she was never seen again by anyone in the city of Anazar.

elizabethmariexo fantasy, because you can write about whatever but in mystery it has to make sense in the real world

Anney246 Fantasy, because you can let your imagination shine through, and you can write almost anything you want. The way I look at it, since it's 'fantasy', there aren't many limitations to what you can do!! :)
