posted by Pixalfirebolt

Steps for success
#1 ~ Find a subject
Find a subject that toi like. Such as fantasy, historical fiction, sci-fi, ou any other genre toi like.
#2 ~ Find a topic
Think of an idea that toi would like for your story. Make sure that it can fit into the category that you've picked previously.
#3 ~ Think of a topic sentence
If toi don't have a juicy topic sentence, readers will generally lose interest.
#4 ~ Plan ahead
It's always a good idea to plan ahead. Make sure that your story doesn't lead to a dead end, become boring over time, and make sure that toi have enough time in your daily life to type this story. toi never want to leave them hanging.
#5 ~ Dedication
This is similar to planning ahead. Make a plan inside toi brain on how much and often toi should type. A great way to give others dedication is to give nice commentaires on their stories, because it feels nice when they give that to you.

Some great tips
Spelling and grammar
This is extremely important. Without it, some readers may get ticked off and stop reading. toi never want that.
Use juicy words
Descriptive words always make a story plus vivid. If toi aren't good at finding them yourself, ask a friend ou use an online thesaurus.
Always re-read
Never publier your story without re-reading. Most writers make some casual errors, and don't notice unless they re-read.
Punctuate
Punctuation are your friends. It's great to punctuate, just don't overdo it.
Emphasizing
It always looks like a plus interesting story if some of the words are bolded, italicized, underlined, ou trophée LOCKED.
Advertise
Advertisements aren't always necessary, but they usually help. Most stories will get a few fans par themselves (Depending on the quality), but if toi give it a little push, your story will be a hit!

Please, give your honest opinion, and suggestions are always welcome.

Broken Dreams Chapter 13

"Your girlfriend called. She wanted to talk to you," Jason said.

I pushed past him and grabbed the phone. I punched in the correct numbers and Serena picked up on the first ring. She sounded as if she'd been crying.

"Are toi alone?" she asked.
"Yes," I glanced at Jason's retreating form. He was going to basketball, basket-ball practice.
"It's important," she said, hesitantly.
"You can tell me," I said, patiently.
"God, I'm scared," she whispered.
"Of what?"

Suddenly, she screamed into the phone.

"What's wrong?" I asked.
"It's moving," she whispered again, sounding panicked.
"What is, Serena?" I probably...

Underworld High: 7: Just the Mail Man

Hayden p.o.v
I sat there staring out into the cold city, one of the quirks with flying is toi can go anywhere. I sighed and lay down; the floor was cold at the Empire state. “Why would I try to Kiss her?” I asked myself. I shook my head. “You’re an idiot Hayden” I told myself. She didn’t have feelings for me after 3 days what the hell was I thinking? I asked myself again. Did I even have feeling for her? I mean I’m an Angel I can’t do the things that most human boys can do. I sighed and got up; the sun was starting to come up, not that anyone in the Underworld slept. I looked...

The Secret heure - A Poem

posted by DietCokeGirl

This is written about the perfect silence only found in the dead of night, and the feelings it inspires.
The titre comes from the description a friend of mine gave when we were stuck in the middle of nowhere at midnight and I found it sort of beautiful.
Enjoy (I hope) :)

Weighted air and winking stars,
darkness draped, tension wrought.
This night, this hour, is ours.
Silence chimes unspoken thoughts
that choke my mouth.
Silver moonbeams in glittering outline
surround you, and in our youth
this night, this hour, we intertwine.

I'd l’amour to hear what toi like ou hate.
Thanks for reading.

The Wish of Eternity: The Magiwar. Chapter Four

posted by kingcesar67

I looked at Chantal in a slight mixed feeling of confusion and fear. My confusion was towards everything that just happened about five minutes il y a and the fear was also towards the fact that there is now emerald-green feu currently emerging throughout my entire body. I then asked Chantal for clarification. "What's going on here?" Chantal stood up, reached into a satchel, which I didn't notice she had with her until now, took out a spray bottle and sprayed the both of us with it. "Whoa! What are toi doing?" Chantal smiled at me and then responded to my question. "I sprayed both of us with...

"Allow me to introduce toi to our family." Mary motioned me to follow her up the stairs. When we arrived...

The Individual Problem in Racism

posted by LadySilverSoul

This is my opinion. It is not meant to offend, ou disrespect anyone.

I'm still in my twenties, yet I am tired. I am tired in the deepest marrow of my bones. As I type this, I find myself taking long pauses between sentences. It is like my mind and body knows my intent to use expressive vocabulary, will still fall short of the actual circumstances of which I write.

Many of us, at least on the outside, believe that racism is wrong. Many of us, at least in the face of others, shake our heads at it. I'm not talking about the racism that causes physical pain for others, but the racism that is perpetuated...

écriture a story and hope that toi like the start

posted by Jinx_Strangeman

The lingering light was obliterated par the rapidly falling night. The once saumon and purple sky transformed into a vast expanse of jet-black that engulfed the town. A canopy of luminous stars materialized amongst the ocean of blackness. Some were dull, merely flickering into existence every now and then, but there was an adequate amount of shimmering stars to illuminate the dark, moonless night. The lake glistened, mirroring the dazzling assemblage of glittering stars and the luminescence from the moon. The faint wind brushed against the water's surface, the ripples ruffled the stillness of...

Fifty shades of Grey ou Fifty shades of rubbish?

posted by nimone

I have just read a paragraph from what could possibly be, the worst book that I have seen in a long time. Fifty shades of Grey does not even have a good story line. The man Mr Grey is a complete pervert that is obsessed with SM. He meets this woman, warns her that he is a creep, and the woman stays!
WHAT THE HELL!
The novel apart from this is filled with parts where Mr Grey has sex with this woman practically everywhere in his house. Yet many woman seem to l’amour this complete piece o rubbish.
And that is not even the worst part. The novel is full of the worst grammatical errors I have ever seen....

The Eagle (this is a poem,a little dark too)

posted by CapShunsuifan13

THE EAGLE

Red splatters the walls, the floors...

The Eagles yellow eyes
His claws tear, his beak rips

His malicious intent present in its speech
His black shadow falls
Its darkness full and everlasting

Leaving no physical mark but
Its evidence in the eyes of the Knowing
Only they can see
Only they recognize the signs

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder
Pain is in the mind of the sufferer
Invisible and dangerous
It strikes silently
Clouding the mind

It consumes
It feeds
Never backing off
Happiness becomes the past
Anger the present
What of the future?

No one knows
No one can know
No one understands...

Sneak Peak of My Book/Novel "Remembering You"--Chapter 1

posted by PonygirlCurtis7

Chapter 1
October, 1964

I lied awake on my bed.

I couldn’t sleep.

My mind was wandering, racing to different topics at the same time. I couldn’t stay on one subject in my mind for plus than ten seconds. I was restless.

Just then, out of nowhere, I remembered something that I particularly didn’t want to remember. But I did anyway. It was something that I hated thinking about, and something that I thought about all the time. I got up, clad in only a pair of jeans, and walked over to my closet and turned on the light. I pulled down old, dusty boxes and yellowed papers off of the closet’s shelf....

No crying, hating, ou any strong emotion.

posted by NormalcyIsDead

toi say toi want a look into my life
Go ahead, there’s nothing to hide
I’m not abused par parents, a good life is apparent
In me; troubles come, I think ‘Eh, it’s Life.”

But that’s my problem: I don’t know when to stop
My thoughts go from one idea to another, they hop
If I think there’s something to worry about, I doubt
That some people would be as whiny as me.

While I’m worrying about a Civics test
Few other girls get any peaceful rest
From caring for their family, uncharacteristically
Still trying to be the best through the stress

My Friends look up to me for my calm head
I’m THE person...

An heure and a half later the cloche, bell rang and we were released from class. "Wow, I feel so amazingly smart." Nick a dit coming up behind me as we exited the class room.

"Why's that?"

"Because I knew every question, either that ou I totally flunked it thinking I did an amazing job." Nick wasn't the smartest student in the school but he passed his classes. "I'm sure toi did fine." He didn't look convinced. I grabbed his hand and gave it a light squeeze. He smiled "Well I'm off to biology." And I was off to P.E. in the opposite direction.

He held my hand till we were to far apart that our arms...
