anda Know You're A Writer When. . .
(feel free to agree atau disagree with any of these.)

-You skip meals atau don't eat as much because you're too eager to get back to the story anda were working on. (Yeah, I did this at lunch today. Deliberatly stopped eating early 'cause I had to get back to my story.)

-You have a notebook and pen atau pencil that anda carry everywhere. (Mine's right here seterusnya to me.)

-You freak out if ANYTHING happens to berkata notebook. (I start going ballistic if I even set it down in a different place and it takes me a minit to remember where I set it.)

-You listen to songs and think, "Oh, this would be great for this scene in this story." atau 'This totally fits the situation in the story I'm working on."
(I'm listening to "How To Save A Life" and it's reminding me of two of my lion characters.)

-You actually consult your characters on a problem. (Oh, I wonder what this character would do?)

-You use the same character, (in a million different incarnations and occasionally with a last name change,) for every single story because anda just like him atau her. (Ok, maybe that one's just me. I have 10,000 different incarnations of this charrie in my stories.)

Hoep anda enjoyed!

Takuya So True xD

writer67 and i bet you got scenes taped to doors windows inside cupboards. different coloured papers for names and characters.you wake with more ideas. you sllep thinking of your creation; the characters always need to be heard if its where they will spend the scene. and lion s, bet you aint lion around, hope your near completion. i grew up with a white lion cub on tv. would like to read more, when published, i got them mild gossenumps on arms going over ;-]

kittehluva i just come up with random ideas for stuff right before i go to sleep but i hardly ever go through with itt

Rae-Ash I am the same way and it drives my family crazy. Sometimes in the middle of a conversation I will get an idea and will run off to get it written down. Like my creative writing teacher says 'Just keep writing and just hope you don't go crazy with all the ideas and characters running around in your head'

GreenLight24 Yeah. i relate.

CHAPTER 1

Jason Card sat on his takhta in the Vampire Council room. The room rested in a paculiar place. The center of an undersea volcano. Magic kept the lave back. It formed a dome over the room except for a tunnel the leads out and up onto an island in the middle of the Atlantic. Vampires, being the most cold skinned creatires on earth didn't feel a percentage of the heat.
Jason was a tall and skinny man, with black hair and green eyes. He wore a black t-shirt with blue jeans and a menyeberang, cross necklace. Vampires could change there age at will and he took the form of a twenty tahun old man.

Fight Like A Girl

Inspired sejak the tajuk from Emilie Autumn's upcoming album, "Fight Like A Girl." ;)

She was an innocent little girl, and that was their first mistake. That first thought.

"This is going to be easy," they'd thought. Yet, another mistake. The two men descended down the sidewalk casually, coming in her direction. She crossed the road, and walked on the other side. They two men stopped. She was smart...

They walked a little lebih on the sidewalk, then crossed the road, now walking behind her. They made sure their footsteps weren't heard on the near empty street.

She began walking faster, feeling...

The Life I Chose *short story*

Alone. All cold, cold as snow in December's winter embrace. What have I become in life? I let the others push me, let poverty and unhappiness take over, and let me live a short, tragic life. Did I long to be miserable and unhappy like Poe so I could become a great writer? Did I read The Little Match Girl too much at age five atau six to the point where I became her? Am I an attention seeker because my parents never gave a damn about me? I could have been anything, anything I wanted. I was a great writer, fantastic artist, had a perfect boyfriend for me, but I just threw it all away. If I could,...

Angel's POV

All of a sudden the lights disappear as do our wands. I hope they were placed somewhere safe. Rosella, Tyler and I arrive in front of some sparkling pool of water. "Uhh...Tyler, what the heck are we doing here?" I soalan my rebel brother. "I don't know! I swear we were supposed to be with the Goddess of the Oracle!" Tyler exclaims. anda know, I totally expected something like this to happen from Rosella. But, since Tyler did it, it's pretty surprising to me! "Well, the way I see it, there's no Goddess here!" Rosella yells at the bahagian, atas of her lungs. I agree with my younger sister for...

We didn't tell mine atau Blake's family about the pregnancy. I didn't want anyone to feel sorry for us if we had another miscarriage. I was really excited, but I was also absolutely terrified. And since I couldn't manage to keep myself calm, Blake insisted that I keep taking my medication throughout the pregnancy.

I took Hera to her first AA meeting. I promised not to tell Dad atau Kara, even though I knew I probably should. We agreed we only tell them if she kept drinking; and I warned her if she lied to me, I would eventually find out and kill her. She didn't really talk in the meeting, which...

I was able to avoid Drew for the rest of the school week because of work. He wasn't happy about it, but there wasn't much he could do; I had to work. I'd taken the last nonconvulsant pill a couple days ago. This worried me; maybe if I could manage to stay calm and not get too worked up, I wouldn't have any major seizures. Every once in a while, when I'm not on medication, I can have absence seizures; those aren't so bad, but it's still not fun.

Blake asked if I was free on Saturday. I guess I could avoid Drew for another day. He berkata he'd pick me up at my house at noon.

Nothing lebih Ch. 10

Things were better after that. It was... boring I guess. But being bored is better than being raped. I walked for hours upon hours, still seeming to get nowhere. I was starting to believe I was truly lost. My stomach felt like it was starting to digest itself, which I hoped it wasn't, but I wouldn't be surprised. The only time I had something to drink was when it rained. I'd walk down the road, with my mouth open at the sky like a complete idiot. It worked a little though, and I kept myself from dehydrating.

It was three whole days before I got close to home. But I was so hungry and tired and...

It had been almost a bulan since I arrived at Gail's place. It wasn't that bad there. Actually, it was a lot better than I thought it ever would be. Since then, I had had absolutely no contact from my brothers. I was starting to get worried. How was Reed? Was Nikolai happy I was gone? Did they even miss me? One Saturday morning while I was eating breakfast Gail must;ve noticed I was in a mood.

"What's up, kiddo?" she asked.

"I just miss my brothers," I shrugged it off. "They haven't called atau anything,"

"Well that's 'cause they can't," Gail berkata with a strange hint of optimism in her voice. They...

I ran my hand through my hair, and took a deep breath. After a few lebih breaths, I finally got the courage to knock on the door. There were some shouts over who should get the door, and I smiled a little. A couple minit later I heard the deadbolt unlock, and the door opened. I smiled shyly.

"Alessa?" he asked. Tears of joy began their journey down my face and I nodded, smiling hugely. Iwas pulled into a giant hug, and lifted me off my feet..

Prologue to a story I'm writing. Thoughts?

I have no idea what it's called yet. I would post this in jawapan but it's a little long. It's about a girl named Kathryn who is murdered and her ghost starts following around a girl named Ambyr (name subject to change, I'm just using it for now). This is the prologue:

PROLOGUE
She got up immediately after she tripped, mentally yelling at herself for not paying attention. She ran, her dark brown, almost black, hair bouncing. Tripping had let whoever was chasing her catch up a little. Faster, faster! She thought hard to herself. But she had been running for a long time. Imagine the person behind...

    A raven flew up to me. I stayed up in my tree, my gear tampering with my balance. It was plenty bad on its own. It didn’t need help. I sighed, and jumped down from the pokok as I heard my name. No, I didn’t need anyone to know my secret. Not her, not yet.

    I awoke to the beeping of my alarm. It was a cold December morning. I would Cinta winter, if it just wasn’t so cold.
    I ran over to the window. Of course, the weather channel lied again. Last night they predicted it would snow, but did it? No....

Who Am I? Ch.2

I glanced around the schoolyard, seeing plenty of familiar faces. Behind the trees, I saw Raegan's black curls. "Raegan!" I called just loud enough for her to hear. I watched her hazel eyes scan the schoolyard. when her eyes met me, she smiled, reveling her braces and waved to me to come over. I couldn't help but smile back. We'd been Friends since first grade, but we'd been drifting apart. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Brooke roll her eyes at Raegan. They never did get along.
I walked to the trees, carefully maneuvering around the dirt so my new converses wouldn't get ruined. "Hey, Ana,"...

I felt stiff, and I stretched. I slowly opened my eyes; I was in Alexander’s bedroom. I was fully clothed, that was a good sign. I laid flat on my back.
    “Yes, I found him on the street,” Alexander must’ve been on the phone. Was he talking about me? There was a pause.
    “He was crying, and I brought him back here. He got into a bad fight with Grey. She kicked him out,” great a recap.
    “Okay, I will. Goodbye Dr. Anozi,” Alexander hung up the phone. He was talking to Dr. Anozi. I felt comforted sejak the fact that...

The Front Desk

Jason walked up to the front desk. The front meja manager was asleep, with his head facing the back wall. It seemed as if there were one million pictures and folders scattered along his desk. Right on his lap was the emas coin Jason had telah diberi him.
Jason reached for it. He was just about to lift it up, when the front meja manager rotated his head in a perfect bulatan with the front of his body facing the opposite direction. His facial expression and face was completely different. He wasn’t a human. He was a monster. His red eyes were not exactly eyes. They were lebih like...

Why didn't anda tell me anda were failing school?" She snaps at me, who was sitting seterusnya to her on the cushioned chairs placed across the marble desk. I silently shrug, looking down at the patterned carpet. "Tell me!" She continues to order. "I just-" "Your father is gonna be furious!" My mom cuts me off of my sentence. Thats when I had snapped.

When I woke up, all the windows were covered in snow, surrounding me, isolating me from others. My stomach growled, but I didn't want to leave. I feared if I didn't get a job, I'd lose everything. I got out of the car, still wearing my clothes from yesterday, which was nothing but jeans, converse, and a black penyu neck. Not wanting to waste valuable gas, I walked around town. My stomach growled again, and the thing inside me kicked a series of blows for a couple seconds.

The buildings here were tall, and far away I could see the new, fancy skyscrapers. But here, the buildings were old and...

Masquerade

Brightly colored masks
Lined up on the wall.
Waiting to take part
In the Masquerade ball.
Smoothly shaped plastic
Fitted to flesh,
Each of their disguises
Much like the rest.
Hiding the scars,
Unsightly disfigurements,
Ways they are marred,
Ways they are different.
Each of them has one,
Hiding the truth,
Things that are ugly,
Battles of youth.
Smothering plastic
Hinders my breath,
Tightly laced ribbon
Cuts into my head.
"Just take it off"
The insistent voice says.
"Then anda could breath.
You'd be free again.
Remember the days
When life was so simple.
The whole world was good,
And yours soft and simple.

My whole body was trembling. I sat up in my bed, the covers everywhere and messed up. My hati, tengah-tengah was pounding and there was a ringing noise in my ears. I scanned the room for him, and even when I saw he wasn't here, I still couldn't release my fears.

I had been raped.

Trying to keep calm, I grabbed my clothes off the floor, my baju had a rip in it, so I grabbed another baju from my closet. I ran a brush through my hair, getting out all the knots. Then I decided I couldn't live with myself this way and decided to take a shower. I turned the water on to blistering hot, and I scrubbed my entire...

Lilith, still Frozen from the soalan her beloved Howl had asked her. She so badly wanted to unleash an answer, but couldn't.

I really wanted to tell him. Yeah, I want to marry him, but I cannot speak at all. I started to breathe deeply and my voice was dry, so he could barely hear me when I said,"Yes. I will be happy to marry you." Howl and Debbie couldn't understand me, as tears started to roll down my face. Odd, whenever I get emotional atau excited, atau both like in this situation right here, my throat dries up like Beatrix Kiddo's did after digging herself up after being buried alive sejak Bill's...
