I can't think of a way to word mine without it sounding extremely cliche and cheesy.
Saru (Queen of Bookland) wrote: "I can't think of a way to word mine without it sounding extremely cliche and cheesy."Same here. It's like, "[MC] has a pretty normal life, but then stuff happens and DUN DUN DUN WILL THEY MAKE IT OUT ALIVE?"
Mine's a contemporary romance so it's like:"THIS SOUNDS SO DUMB AND CLICHE WILL THEY FALL IN LOVE?"
I'm laughing so hard right now. That is full of win. If you put that at the end of a book blurb, I'd totally buy it. Yeah, I remember writing contemporary romance. It was all: "I love you, but we can't be together because we're 15 years old. So, even though I kissed you, let's just be friends." And, of course, neither of my characters had real personalities.
Haha, thank you. Maybe I will put it at the end of the blurb. XDI've written worse. You don't even wanna know.

Ehh, I doubt it. I once wrote a sentence along the lines of, "She had eyes that were the color of broccoli." xD
And that doesn't even begin to cover my fanfiction days.
Oh my gosh I feel bad but I'm laughing so hard right now. XD
Saru (Queen of Bookland) wrote: "Oh my gosh I feel bad but I'm laughing so hard right now. XD"No, it's fine. I remember that I wanted to say something other than "She had green eyes," but the only green thing I could think of was broccoli at the time.
So you're doing NaNo this year? Just want to make sure before I bring out the pom-poms. ;)
Moi aussi, Kriss. I wish you were participating this year. :(
@Anastasia- YES I AM :D
YAAAYYYY SARU! *grabs pom-poms and twirls them around head while spinning*
*Blushes* aww thanks! I appreciate the support. I'll cheer for you too!*performs rousing cheerleading routine*.
Wait, is Kriss not participating?!?!?!?!?! D: X/
Woo, so I finally got around to writing a little synopsis thing for the 30 covers 30 days thing:Upon the completion of his final week of high school, Eric's parents inform him that they're getting a divorce. As bad as this is, it's made worse by the fact that his family's extended summer reunion is coming up--and his parents don't want anyone to know about the divorce yet. Forced along on this awkward trip to the small Oklahoma town his grandparents live in, Eric tries to make the best of things with his cousins and some of the locals.

Oooh that sounds awkward and awesome. :D

My romance is more like, "WHEN WILL SHE REALIZE SHE'S HEAD OVER HEELS FOR HIM????" The suspense. -_-
@Hayden- BUT NO PICKET FENCES IS NOT CLICHE ITS AWESOME SAUCE@Allison- Ha, I'm sure you can make it original though. :)
@Saru: Well, I hope. I have some major revisions to do on that plot, so I'm doing my paranormal-with-a-twist/urban-fantasy/thriller/science-fiction-with-a-little-magic book!!!
mine is:a lonely princess gets a chance to have everything she's wanted and messes everything up and ends up being manipulated and used and thrown away and there's a war and people die and her parents don't care enough about her and she's tired of having expectations set to high.

Aw, thanks! Maybe we can learn a dance routine and perform it together. Any suggestions? ;)

That has so much potential in terms of humor. You could seriously do so much with that.
This is my basic plot so far.

That's my hope! But knowing me it will probably just wind up annoyingly depressing for no reason whoops

Aw, than..."
Haha. Yeah, same here. Mine's going to have lots of mentions about blood.
A ton of animals are going to be killed, too. It'll be interesting to see how I describe those scenes.
A lot of people are gonna die in mine.......
The Soldier (Solisal #1), a Summary:The world is dying. Send the Soldier.
Markansus are overrunning the world, taking over teenagers' bodies one by one. The guardian angels can't seem to fend them off, no matter how hard they try. So when Mason's long-dead friend Demetria tells him, his sister Danielle, and his best friend Axel that it's up to them to defeat the monsters, he comes up with a plan to save the world, and to bring Demetria back from the dead.
But is his wish dangerous?
Dun dun dun. How was that?
Mod
Thanks;) It took 30 minutes to write that during my first period class.
I'm just continuing my NaNoNovel from last year, Disease.In 2135 aliens and humans coincided on earth, with hatred and racism spreading like wildfire, creating a rift and pushing the possibility of war closer to reality. But, when a cure for cancer was distributed for free among the races, curing over half of both populations, the hatred was suppressed.
That was until five years later, when those who had been cured of cancer turned into living stone creatures - gargoyles - and became destructive, murderous, violent beasts that began fighting a war with seemingly no point. No one knew who created the drug, but the aliens and humans were forced to fight together in order to survive.
In 2142 Lydia Hale finds documents in a gargoyle lair that may lead her to further knowledge of what had happened to her father two years previous. Mysteries unfold before her eyes, and she begins questioning everything she had ever known - including whether or not the war the gargoyles are fighting is really for nothing. As she discovers more about her father, she also discovers that she may not be quite normal once she begins having violent outbursts, unable to control herself. Unable to explain any of it, she seeks more information, beginning a journey that could change her life forever, and even possibly end it.

Here's mine for this year:While the rest of the world has hunted down and ostracized those with strange abilities, the U.S. has embraced these "super persons" and kick started the superhero culture.
In Hazelbrook, MA triplets Lorcan, Finnian, and Brigit (I may have fudged up the spelling, my stuff is back in my room) have big shoes to fill. As the children of the single mother who started the superhero movement and having spectacular powers of their own, they could be the heroes of the new century. As the experience their first year of high school they carry their fates, and perhaps even the fate of the world, in their hands.
If only they knew what to do with it.
That's the summary. It's a work in progress. Plus I forgot how to spell one of the triplets names. :/. I just wanted to do a superhero coming of age story so here it is.

That sounds really cool! *coughs* although I'd recommend the spelling Brigid. ;)
