Mine's an android... But yeah, no idea what its problem is. First the camera stopped working and then it stopped letting me log into the phone in general.

Thanks, Marie!

I think I WILL stick with the different POVs, yeah. It seems right. It'd be a boring tale if it were just the other main character, and it'd be...stretched? if just from Atreyu's side of things. Switching would definitely add more.

That's what I had planned, actually. :)

I don't have data on my phone TO get a virus. I read up on the phone and they always seem to have some sort of problem. I think I just sped up the process by dropping it. I've only dropped this one two or three times and the last time I did was months ago. Only now does it seem to be reacting to it.
Haha, I'm not judging. I'm a biology nut.

Yeah, just got the latest iPod touch. This is my first Apple product like this, and honestly, I baby it. I've seen so many Apple products with shattered screens, so I was nervous about this one. Reason I got it though was because I wanted the GB for music, and then the Internet access - one my mom can't take from me. And if I have to, I can use my neighbor's Wifi since they let me have the password. Sorry bout the phone though. :/ Be thankful yours at least works. Mine's been acting up lately and everything is slowly starting to shut down or something.

I did, it's just all funky to read cause I'm on my iPod.

Yeah, I'm thinking first would be best considering his lack of speech haha.

Dell is a great brand. My mom has one that she's had for years and it still runs great. Well, it's mine now, but still. I've had a crazy week myself with work and all... My birthday is the 16th. :)

Mm, now I wanna write. I just wish I had the laptop... I love to type.

You guys think it would be successful if I bounced between POVs?

That'd be awesome!! And I like the flashback idea as well... I think I'd like to throw that in somewhere eventually...

Here's a pic of Atreyu :) There should be a little less black on his tail, but marker is a bit hard to fix...

I'd post the pic so you can actually see it rather than use a link, but I forgot how haha.

I like the idea, guys! Really! Then after that he can question why it got too close so fast and go visit this other character who's kinda like the "king" for answers. He'd tell him that he's dying all in a nutshell and he tries to figure out why.
But now how should I write it? First person? Third person? Tell it from my point of view? I WAS having this based on me and all the other people that were told to stop living with their head in the clouds... It's where I got the idea.

Hello! I'm Ivydance! Or Iv, Ivy, or Lex lol

Anyways... I have this book I've been wanting to write cause I have this idea I would really like to make real. If you know what I mean... I have a few outlines that I've thought up, I'm just not sure how to go about starting it and telling which point of view it should be from...



Main character: Atreyu
- he's a type of soul that guides good souls and vanquishes the bad ones from his dimension; if someone would turn into a bad soul he can go into our world and attempt to stop it
- lives in a different dimension, one that lives on top (not literally, it's more amid than on) of ours; he can see ours and his, we can't see his
- when he takes off his mask he takes on a human form and is brought to our dimension
- as a human he can still see his dimension (I think, this is subject to change)
- he can't be in our dimension too long or else he'll start to either fade or grow dark (haven't decided which) due to the negativity in the world (he gets darker with every visit to our dimension and can "recharge" back in his, but the recharge takes a while)
- problem: he is slowly dying and he doesn't know why
- solution: there's a girl he meets in our world who tries to tell him he's imaginary/doesn't exist; she's the creator of his dimension, it's basically representing her imagination and she's being forced to grow up by the world
- why: because her imagination is dying, he is dying so he needs to find a way to bring back that imaginative spark before he's gone forever




I had a few thoughts. What if other dimensions were other people's imagination, the world they live in in their minds? The recharging thing is a maybe... And then I have a slight problem with how to write it and how to start it, because Atreyu doesn't talk. I mean, he does, but hardly ever. Only when he really really needs to.

Any input and help at all is appreciated!!
