message 9: by Samiha (new)

Samiha Congratulations!
Yep, I've got an idea or two. :) Does anyone else find it funny when you're chatting with a friend, you suddenly have an idea for a scene with some of your characters, you type (or write) it up and then you tell them and they're like, WHAT?? It took you ten minutes!! :P


message 10: by Samiha (new)

Samiha So it's not just me!! Haha ;)


message 11: by Jade (new)

Jade That sounds awesome!

I hope this is ok, but I might take what little (meaning less than one chapter) I have of my NaNoWriMo novel (I know, WAY embarassing) and totally rewrite it.


message 12: by Jade (new)

Jade lol cool!


message 13: by [deleted user] (new)

can we like use a story we started like centurys a go and work with it? cause i have a story that has like a half a page that i wrote in like fourth grade and i would like to use it.


message 14: by Ayunda (new)

Ayunda (ayundabs) ok, now I have a new idea for my story:

a girl (A) was taken by someone after her parents died. She turned out to be a wizard. She was trained by someone in a school, but she didn't like it.

That's the story so far, but I'm still working on it :D what do you think??


message 15: by Samiha (new)

Samiha I think it sounds good! It could be a wonderful book. :) What do you think of mine:
A girl (Dakota) lives in the Minnesotan country with her mom (her dad is a businessman and he travels a lot). She has chickens and kittens and a HUGE pasture and her neighbor has stables. Her mom's old best friend (who now lives in California with her millionaire husband) comes to their country house to visit and brings her son (Lucas). Now, Dakota and Lucas are both 15 and had been born on the exact same day. Lucas is a rich brat and Dakota isn't rich and she doesn't like change or boys. She's shocked and grumpy when she finds out that Lucas is going to be staying with her and her mom while his parents take their month-long vacation. The two teens don't like each other at all at first but they start to become friends. Lucas finally earns Dakota's trust but when something happens to her favorite horse and it's Lucas's fault, she loses her trust in him but he learns how to get the horse better and they become even better friends. I know I just ruined the end, sorry. What do you think?

Sam, you might want to add some other crama in, besides the horse thing. Something that doesn't come in..."


Yeah, I was trying to think of some more drama but I couldn't really capture any ideas... How about one of the planes Dakota's dad is on like, crashes? And then they have to wait to hear if he's ok cause his plane was going to London but they're in Minnesota.




message 20: by Ayunda (new)

Ayunda (ayundabs) great idea! is it going to have romance or just friendship?

hoho, of course!!


message 22: by Samiha (new)

Samiha XD yeah, usually I don't try to add sadness to my books but there could be an airplane crash.
Was the romance question directed at me? If it was, it's gonna be like this: first they dislike each other, then they're friends, then they start to like each other for more than friends.


message 23: by Ayunda (new)

Ayunda (ayundabs) oh.. the story would be great if there's a little more drama to make their friendship stronger!!


message 24: by Samiha (new)

Samiha do you have any ideas on how to make it more dramatic? or do you think the plane crash and horse will be enough.


message 25: by Ayunda (new)

Ayunda (ayundabs) hmm, idk, I'm not too creative. but the plane crash is quite enough..


message 26: by Samiha (new)

Samiha Yeah, I thought so too. I don't wanna make it into a drama, I just want there to be some in it.

I'm the same way! Speaking for myself, you don't have to be nervous. :)



message 28: by Madhins (new)

Madhins  I have a notebook but all I do in it is write my thoughts... That also seems to come in handy because a lot of my thoughts give me lots of ideas for my stories...


message 29: by Samiha (new)

I'm curious, though. Do any of you have idea notebooks? Or keep notebooks ..."


I keep one by my bed, one in my purse, and one with my writing folder. :P So I can write down any ideas that pop into my head.



message 30: by Ayunda (new)

Ayunda (ayundabs) I don't have any idea book, but I usually do. But I didn't put in on my bed, I just wrote down the ideas next morning if I remembered... Except if the idea is REALLY great (like the idea I got for this challenge), then I'll write it down directly...
The idea about my novel was based on a dream I got.. I usually don't remember my dream immediately when I got up, but this time I managed to write them down :)


message 31: by U.L. (new)

U.L. Harper (ulharper) I use random pieces of paper to write ideas on and yes I will forget what I had in mind. I have the memory of a really smart gold fish.


message 32: by U.L. (new)

U.L. Harper (ulharper) While I'm here I wouldn't mind getting some feedback on an element of story I have going on. Here goes: I'm planning one of those stories where it's a few different stories that come together. It's supposed to be a realistic story but I have this urge to add in this twelve foot guy who eats people. What he's doing there I'm not sure but he's there.


message 33: by U.L. (new)

U.L. Harper (ulharper) Okay, so I officially wrote in the twelve foot guy. It's a risk but I'm going to keep it. If I get a chance i'll show you guys a draft of how it reads


message 34: by U.L. (new)

U.L. Harper (ulharper) Tay, here is a link if you want to read this little tidbit http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/5...

But I think for it to make sense you'd have to read the whole thing. Up to you. Good to have you as a friend.


message 35: by U.L. (new)

U.L. Harper (ulharper) Okay,I tried to write some poetry but it didn't work out. Instead I got this 522 word short story out of it. It's not bad. I would love for a few heads to check it out, as I'm not really the short story type but growing into it. http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/5...


message 36: by Samiha (new)

Samiha Hi everyone. Um, I was thinking about putting my first chapter of my "2010 Writers!" book on here. Not now, in a couple of days... What do you think? Should I? I have 12185 words now but I'm not quite done with the first chapter yet. :P


message 37: by U.L. (new)

U.L. Harper (ulharper) I'd put it on the writing section on goodreads and have a link on here. That's what I'd do.

Yay! :) Oh well, I don't have one. I just write :) When I get to the end of my story, it ends!


message 40: by [deleted user] (new)

I've been working on this idea for a while now and I am interested in hearing what you all think.

Evandra McKenna is a nearly sixteen year old who lives with her single mother in Sydney. She doesn't know who her father is because her mother fell pregnant with her when she was 16 in what her mother calls a moment of insantity with out alcohol or drugs. When her mother get a propotion at work which means a lot of travel Evan was going to living with her mother's best friends until her Grandparents find out and say that Evan can go and live with them.

Evan moves out of sydney, to a farm seven hours away from sydney and a half hour from the nearest town. She meets Matt, a guenis in the form of a tweleve year old and the local Police Sergant (sp?) Conn Verona. Not long after Evan moves to the town the local bank get robbed with her inside and she gets told of a similar burglary fifty years before. Evan then decides to find out who is behind it...

What do you think?
