[*~.Imagination.~*]

0_0 Woah... I didn't realize how hard it was. XD Sorry if this sounds like bragging or something, but, honestly, I've been doing Wakeful Lucid Dreaming for as long as I can remember. Like on car drives, or before I go to sleep, or when I'm bored; I just close my eyes and I can see pretty much anything I'm thinking of, crystal clear.
I thought it was pretty common actually; my sister can't do it, but she's pretty un-imaginative, and whenever she tries to visual something, it just looks like a blob to her XD But yeah, ever since I can remember, that would be my 'escape' whenever I'm bored. ^.^ Its especially useful for planning out my next scene!

PS- I posted this a few pages ago, but never got a reply. What does everyone thing of this as a plot idea?

Ok, so I have a book idea running through my mind. I'm just in love with the concept. I have a very vague idea with it.

Its centered around a 13(ish) boy who is a great pick pocket/thief. The boy is an illegitimate child who doesn't know his father, and whose mother died when he was 10. He's lived on the street for his whole life and does his best to stay alive. His light hand and quick mind are helpful to him, though his witty tongue can get him into more trouble than it should. He has a short temper, but over the years he's learned how to out-smart his enemy's, since his small stature made it hard to out fight them. He's clever with a knife and can pick a lock with relative ease, but he has trouble with direct confrontation. His strength is in sneakiness.

Thats all I have so far. What do you think?

Since last night, I've been wanting to write a story about Meerkats because I had watched a Meerkat documentary. I don't know that much about Meerkats (or Africa, actually x3), but I've already got a bit of a plot written out, and I'll decide whether or not to write the story once I learn some more about Meerkats, and then change some stuff to see if it can be more realistic. Except for the main character. The documentary said Meerkats live with their families and would probably die if they get left alone. But the Meerkat they where taping survived living by himself for a few days. And made it past a sleeping lion and some lionesses. Eh, anyways, here goes half of the prologue's plot:

The prologue takes place a few weeks/months (not sure yet) before the main character (who will be called 1 for now; I will come up with names when I decide if I will write this) was born. Her mother (Who will be called 2 for the same reason x3) and 2's sister (3) are hunting and 2 finds a centipede. 2 nudges 3 a little bit and points to the centipede, quietly, so as not to scare it off, and she walks up to it, and kills it. She then picks up the dead centipede and runs towards her family's tunnels, 3 following her, and then they hear a loud screech. 2 and 3 exchange worried glances, and both run as quickly as they can to the tunnels, knowing what the screech came from. When 2 and 3 are almost at the tunnels, they see their younger brother, who never came out of the tunnels before, attempting to noisily kill a small beetle he found that keeps getting out of his reach, and 3 picks him up quickly and continues running to the tunnel. Being the fastest of the litter, 2 already made it to the tunnels, and she heard another screech, louder this time, and she immediately gets worried. She doesn't dare come out of the tunnels, knowing there's a hawk flying around their tunnel entrance, and decides to look around the tunnel and hope to find her family inside, safe. After a few minutes, she hears a screech again, this time a bit quieter, and she hopes the hawk is flying away, not that it's become quieter because she's underground. After a few minutes, she realizes her sister hasn't made it, and she can't find her family any where in the tunnels, and (if Meerkats can) begins to cry. She slowly walks out of the tunnels, and sees the entrance is stained with blood, among other things, and sighs. She notices the sun beginning to set, so she goes back inside and tries to go to sleep.
-
The next day, she looks around for someone (the main character's father (4)), hoping he hasn't been killed/eaten by the hawk, and she nearly gets to his tunnels, but it's blocked by a snake that seems to be trying to climb/slither up the nearby tree for some reason.


I think that might be a bit too long for the prologue, but oh well. And that's only half of it. x3

U.O Writing twin! *High five* I adore Coldplay, and find Death and All His Friends a great replay song to listen to... whenever. Also Dog Days Are Over inspires me greatly. The lyrics are just.. pure luff. The remind me of my main character in The Seven Talents.

And, yeah. I just lost all motivation earned during the Christmas holidays. It seems my book is an on-and-off kinda project -.-''

Those songs are amazing, I know! Moving to Mars is good for death scenes and stuff, since it's so quiet. But seriously guys, all of you, thanks for the music recommendations and advice. Once I finish my massive amounts of homework I'm going to lock myself into a writing hole with some chocolate... :3

I've never been that fond of Moving to Mars. I just love their first album, though; so inspirational

I have such terrible writing and inspirational block.. I can't get around to writing anything D:

[violacherry]

hmmmmmm i'm in a mood to write but what should i write about? I have some ideas but once i start writing they'll become crap......

[ωιитєяfℓу]

I really want to write about something, but my creativity is running dry... Any ideas?

[violacherry]

alright i have an idea! so i started this orphanage rp (that no one's joining p.s.) but that gave me an idea for a plots. Tell me what you think:

So a young girl named Cassies parents were murdered and she was sent to a nice orphanage/foster home. She has a baby sister name Juliet. Cassie is traumitzed and must find her way in the world.......

alright i need help with a big climax....any ideas?

But then she discovers a conspiracy within the orphange. Children are disappearing, all supposedly adopted, but there are tell-tale signs that this isn't the truth. Now, Cassie must fight for her life and that of her baby sisters, all while trying to be normal and figure out what REALLY happened to her parents.

[violacherry]

oh oh oh! THATS AWESOME THANKS!

P.s. i just thought of something! random but still: Writers are rpers and rpers are writers, whether they do rps or not or write books or not

[MBRShorse]

No problem. I need to think creatively for a moment. I've been playing Sims 3 non-stop for the past two days when I really should've been writing some fantastic pieces for an application to a summer writing program. But sims are soooo addictive.

And now all writers are RPers, I've known some, many acutally, who despised Rping. But all rpers, to some degree, are in fact writers.

[violacherry]

exactly but even if you hate rping in some way or another your kinda doing it in stories
