future authors discussion

i have written a book it is almost done but i cant think of any ending. any ideas?

its called squirrel girl and its series is called the five stones and im working on a second called rabbit tales. its about a girl and her friends find out they have the power to turn into a certan animal it all has something to do with the rings they got when they were babys. they all realize they all have a past in commen either there das or moms left when they were little. they find out they are still alive but along the way the meet a lot of truobles finally at the end they find out something but then they find new mysteries. help!

is the story here on goodreads?

no im going to put it on as soon as its done (or when my publisher says so)

what about the first one?

kill off the people, that works for me

that's kinda cheap though ... XD

r u kidding??? thats like my favorite part of books!!!

when ppl get killed off?? i hate when that happens ... usually. depends on how it's pulled off.

did you call my writing skills cheap? you know they might suck but they aren't CHEAP.

it depends on how u kill ppl off ... idk. i've killed ppl off too ... not sure if it was necessary or not. XD

I think its kinda funny, after i finish crying.

O.O ?

I agree with Ashley. (- the girly crying part...jk i cried after i killed a character who was in all of 2 chapters)

that character was pointless you made her immortol anyway

yeah i did and she does try to kill both sword and drea in 2 book, but it makes Angel sad (though in 2 book they hate each others guts....)

but it only makes the story more complicated, you didn't give the reader enough time to get attached to that character. You should have waited for a later chapter to kill her off.(Though I don't know how you would have introduced Doc, Sword, or Drea)

I wouldn't have been able to introduce Doc, so no sword, so no drea, so no rose, so no gent, so weryt, so no ending. Plus Angel needs a reason for anger to finish his character. Oh yeah and defintly no krea.

Killing everyone off- bad idea. but if you want to kill them, shoot them like 2pac, jk.
Who is the book amed to? If it was me i would have them find one of there mums and she has some hard core troubles. Next book the go and help her.

how is killing characters off bad? I mean everyone keeps saying it is but no explaing!

it's bad because it's taking the easy way out, and it's disappointing to the reader. it's easy to just say, "hmmm. idk what to do. i guess i'll just kill someone off." but i find it more impressive if the author finds a way around a depressing ending, and comes w/a way to solve issues w/o killing anybody.

but I needed them dead..and tecnicly they DO come back in 2 book, is that bad?

Personally, I like the depressing endings, and I get so ticked when people tell me that it's unprofessional. 'Romeo and Juliet', 'Les Miserables', 'Le Morte de Aruthur'.

Oh you forgot Othello and a TON of shakespeares plays.

i just watched the most annoying movie it turned out that every thing was a movie

o and do u mean shakespeares tradegys cause theres only 9

okay, you guys misunderstood me. i didn't say that ALL sad endings are bad. sometimes, it is necessary. i'm just saying that a lot of the time, you don't HAVE to kill off people to end a story, and some authors forget that.

but, but, it's so much FUN!

YEAH!!!

but there r amazing books without dead characters in the end.

yeah ... most of my favorite books DON'T have dead characters at the end!

and how is killing people off FUN?! i don't get it. whenever i kill people off, or even when i come close to killing people off, i start to cry and i feel miserable for the rest of the day! NOT FUN! of course, i try to avoid the situation altogether. i don't like killing characters off; it feels like i'm killing a friend or something. XD

Its weird I dont want to kill characters off but when I am writing It just happens and then I read over it and I'm like no!!!!! I killed them!!!!!!!! but wow! thats really good writing!

thats what goes through my mind when I do.

hmmm ... idk. i just hate killing people off, unless my mind seriously cannot come up w/ANY other way to end it.

i wrote one story where i killed off the main characters at the end, but it was actually a relatively happy ending -- hard to explain. but i still hated doing it, and i'd rather not do it again.

It's fun 'cause you can plan out a murder! Come on try it! It is awesome!

ah. no. i don't like murdering my characters. :-/

You don't? *sniffs and pouts*

nope.

I love creating mysteries!! I'm writing one right now, and I killed someone off in the prologue. Funny thing is, that's what got everyone hooked ;D

see i don't really mind ppl getting killed of at the BEGINNING ... i do that all the time. XD it's killing ppl off at the end that i can't do.

but... but.... but.... then its no fun cause no one dies!!!!!!

i disagree

lol... okay... maybe its only sometimes fun when someone dies.. i must admit their are times when its awful. Bridge to Terabithia is one example.

OH THAT WAS A TERRIBLE PIECE IN THAT STORY!!!!

TERRIBLE!!!!!!

but the plot was devine, oh yeah l am with Brigid, l can kill off characters in begging but not in the end. (exept in 1 storie where at the very end a character is malled by this huge like human size spider and then a vampire who is sort of his friend but sorta not comes and can't resist and drinks the blood, accidentaly turning him into a vampire, does that count? I mean his friends think he's dead and reader thinks he's dead until the 2 book...*trails off*...)

well my charrie i live in the dremas of other people is dead from the start, in white walls someone wil die in the ned but i will not revel that, if its one of the good or bad guys, in resurrection, well im not sure yet

I FINISHED UNWIND!!!!!!!!!!!!

ugh i hated the end to bridge to terabithia ...

YOU FINISHED UNWIND?! YAYZ!! :D WUZN'T IT AMAZING?!
