I'm so excited, I'm getting my picture book back in five days. I had to do it for English and many students who have done this unit have had theirs published. It would be exciting if I could get mine pblished, but I'll see what my teacher says.

I'm also writing a piece about this murderer character, which I think I have put fairly good thought into. But I'm trying to figure out how to add a hint of romance because most books have relationships of sorts but how could that work with an insane murderer? I was picking he could be trying to get a girl thinking he liked her and then he gets her to meet somewhere intending to kill her but something happens and he doesn't. She would be a very confident, out going type and trying to avoid a forced wedding with some snob so she would be following the murderer around [of course not realising his intention was to kill her] to try an avoid the other man and eventually he would start to actually like her. I think it sounds rather far fetched though. What do you guys think?

I really like the sound of that, actually. Maybe the guy could even help fake her death or something to get her out of the wedding for the time being (that's just my crazy-brain idea. ^^).

Accepted, Sam. :3

Thanks for the advice.

I just found a company called 'first time publishers.' I think I know where I'll be going if I ever want to get stuff published. ID Because supposedly it's really hard to get your first work published.

Hahaha, yes it is! My mom is an author and she's still searching for an agent. She's just written her second book, and this one is areal winner! The first one didn't work out so well, but it was a great experiance and practice. This new one is (in my opinion) a real page-turner and it's all about the history of Cave Creek (somewhere in Arizona). I'm so excited about it!

Sorry, I get very chatty about it. :oops:

Cave Creek? I've been there, I think.

Anyone else find it kind of funny when some puts "Perfect grammar" or something in their story title, then they mispell a word in the title? I saw one where it said: "______Pls Read/Perfet Grammir". It made me laugh so hard. XD

No one has appreciation for writing on here. >.> (CS)

That is absolutely hilarious! I saw a title called, "Midevil hourse PLZ LOOOOOOK!!!!!!!!"

Oh my. I haven't even seen a Medievel horse around, plus they said "PLZ," misspelled Medieval (Med-ie-val, and Mid-evil are very different), and I personally hate it when people yell at me to look at their threads.

Its annoying right? Especially when the title is along the lines of "(Title Here)/PLS READ!!!!!!/NEEDS COMMENTS!!!!! >:(" Who wants to read a story that look messy? All I can put in my titles go along the lines of 'Comments Appreciated ;]'.

I write, and I get these great ideas. Getting them down on paper however, not very easy. It's hardly ever as good when I get it down. I also have a huge amount of difficulty finishing.

I have an eighteen page story at the moment that I actually have a plan for, so maybe I can manage to at the very least finish. That would be such an exciting personal accomplishment for me.

I am working on getting some of the pets, especially horses, that I have missed.

Hahaha, accepted. It's lovely to have you.

@Title discussion: Yes, or when they say "NEED MEMBERS OR THE CLAN WILL DIE!!" or something like that. Uh, no it won't? It won't because, with that title, I can assume that RP is filled with Mary Sues and godmoding, but that's just my guess. XD
