Writing

[Horselvr565]

Does anyone like to write? This thread is all about poems,stories,haikus,books,etc made by YOU!
I have written a few books myself.

[jenjen94]

I love to write :) I think its fun to write stories, and see if people like them.

[Lukario]

I like writing, but I'm not really into poetry. I had to write a lot of essays for school (I would say about fifty over high school,) so writing has become something that I've come to enjoy. I used to write short stories when I was a kid, but I stopped doing it, because they never made any sense (It sounds like Kurt Vonnegut's writing, in a way.)

Thanks,
Lukario

[CheattopiaBen]

Oh, yes! I love to write! I've wrote a whole whack of poems and staries etc. Here are some of my stories:
1. The sick dragon
2. Santa and the missing reindeer
3. The Masked tranger to the rescue!
4. Robert Munch's Adventures

And a couple more that I forget. I've wrote a lot of poems, too.

[Horselvr565]

Nice.
I would like to publish one of mine, but i dont know any editors...

[jenjen94]

I have written VERY short stories for some of my friends :p (Each about two pages long). They liked them, I always add my friends in funny stories. The only actual story i have ever written is The Time Keeper. *Which like horselvr, i would ove it to be published* but i really doubt it :)

[Aidyl]

i love to write! and just like some of you I have writen a few books that I would love to get published! It's a long process though. You have to find a leterary agent first and then they find an editor an a publisher for you. They also usually take a percentage of the profit from each book sold. But first you have to get the literary agent to actually read a copy of the book.

[FreakyCheater]

I love to write. I can write REALLY long stories. In fact, I'm still typing a story on word that's 84 pages long! But it's fan fiction:Blush: But I love to write. These are some of my stories I've wrote:
Sunset Ridge: A New Experience
Two of A Seed
Life At Hogwarts For A Wizard and Two Witches(my fan fiction:laugh:)
Ishie and The Princess Akahanna

What do you think of the story names? :D

[david20]

I love to write!Here are a few of my stories!:

Snowy The Lynx!(Sad/Happy)
The Stickmen Adventures!(Funny)
David And The Freaky Goldmine!(FREAKY!)
Experiences Of The Past!(Scary)
Levi In The Fourth Dimension!WIERD!)

[Aidyl]

the only story that i actually have comple right now is like 169 pages, and is going to be the first in a trilogy. I have a couple of other stories going as well,
some of which i should probably work on...

[MacPro]

i've written about twenty books. they're all always over 100 pages long, because there is so much to put into it. here are some of the titles:
Quantam Leap
Raiders of the Ark
Titan's Thief(series)
Shell Seekers(series)
Artemis and the Spool of Gold(series)
Attolia(series)
Scrolls(series)
The Man Behind the Mask
i would name all of them....but i can't remember all of them.
i'd love to get even just one of my books published. it would be a dream come true, but like Aidyl said, the process is long, but i don't care. just as long as my book get published. what do you think of the titles for my books?

[DreamChaser02]

Wow, I love to write, too, but, I can never finnish them. Two words, Writer's Block. It get's me badly. i get bored easily with stories, usually writing the beginnigs, and I dream big. I have, maybe a thousand stories stuck in my mind. Some of them have to come out, but it's that stupid cement block. But I've realized that music really influennces my ideas, and I start thinking like my idea is a movie. the scenes play out, and I can barely grasp what my character's are saying. most of mine are romance, horror, or thriller. major Stephenie meyer fan! but does anyone have any suggestion's for my horrible writer's block? and please check out my story in the playground, role playing,stories place! and btw, has anyone felt like your story is like a little child, that you don't want anyone to share it, or even look at it sometimes, god, i just had a bunch of sugar! I'm crazy right now, and getting off track! typing way too fast sorry if I misspell anything sorry, hate it when it happens, okay right now, I'm blabbing so I going to do something productive. write! ahhhhhh! too much :o

[MacPro]

i totally know what you mean! (at least, about getting writers block.)
what i do, is read a really good part, out of a really good book.getting into the book helps get my mind running, and thinking of ideas. sometimes, just basing the next part of my story on something i heard of or has happened to me clears things up a bit. if that doesn't work for you...just take a break. maybe your working to hard on too much stuff all at one time. taking a break helps too.
about thinking of your books as movie first...i totally do that too! i just doze off and stare into space when i do it, and my friends thinks it's creepy when i daydream like that. but i think of it as.....well.....heavy-duty brainstorming. but anyway, sometimes even that helps me rid of that huge concrete block blocking off all of my ideas.
hope i helped.

[DreamChaser02]

Thank you so much, MacPro. That definitley should help. :) When I wrote that, I was buzzed by sugar, but now I'm normal. I have way too many ideas, and I can never really focus. I have troubles describing places, too. I see it so vividly in my mind, that I can never put it to justice with words. I'm a messed up writer, I can tell you that. I mean, I have so many opinions just about writing, I could talk about it for hours, and plus, I have an over-active imagination. But I guess it saves me, from being normal, ordinary. Ordinary is my worst fear of myself. Sounds weird, I know. My friends point it out way too many times. I am a soul trapped between what I want to be desperately, and my unfoucused energy; and more importantly, the sterotype world. Wow. Never came up with somethig like before. You know, sometimes I think my friends get annoyed by my deeper looks in the world. But look at me. Turning a writing forum into my personal pity party. :-D

[Aidyl]

writers block is most certainly annoying.
These are some of my titles:
Crystal of Life Chronicles: Crystal Tears (Sereis)
Stargates: Haushueg (Series)
Air Force Ace
Halfling
Halloween Story (The title will definitly be changed if i ever find that again)
The next one doesn't have a title yet. I'm Cowriting it with Jacksparrow though, so i'm excited to see how it comes out.

Wow, i automatically put them in order of completion.

[DreamChaser02]

Acutually, I have finnished about five of my ideas, but 2 are short, three are long. Well, only about 279 pages.
Alison Carrie(series, both short ones)
One Night
Jasmine
Bella of Ashtree( series, still stuck on second one)
It would be so cool to get them published. I can see them, all pretty, and glossy, with actual covers.But it is a huge process, and it takes(well, for unlucky people) almost about 2 years for someone to actually look at your book. Others get lucky, and get printed the next year. But, it's still a favorite dream of mine. :D

[Cheshire24]

you just crushed my high spirits of getting my book published this summer. I've been working on it since september '06

:wow: and i was really hoping for all of mine to get published. I have about four series and two short stories. a couple others are ones i havent finished:)

[Yin717]

I love writing! Oh yh. You know that Journey to the Centre of the Earth? That gave me an idea for a story! So i'm writing it! It starts of similar but it might not go in the same direction.

[Aidyl]

good luck with your story.
I'm just about ready to send out my query letter!

[Yin717]

nice. and cheers.

[Horselvr565]

Good luck everyone:)

[friska]

Well, I like to write story (most are serials) because once a week there's story telling time at school.:TooHappy:

[Aidyl]

i'd love to have story time at my school. i'm going into highschool now though so i don't think that option is there.

[Yin717]

Ah were I come from we have a 3 tier system. So as in most of parts Britain and in America you have like a lower and a upper. Where I come from we have Lower, Middle Upper! The people become idiots at every new school. Anyway to get to the point. We ended all the story time stuff in Lower School which is from Nursery to Year 4! I'm now a Year 9. I haven't even done show and Tell since lower school!

[Snake101]

I started off writing short stories about 10 pages long, but I am working on my first major book called "BULLET" which is all about an assassin.
I have done 187 pages so far.
I did a short story version which sums it all up in about 30 pages but Its not very good.

[Yin717]

sounds interesting. Please send me the copy's of your books mate.

[Horselvr565]

I just got the strangest fortune from a fortune cookie!
It read:
"You have a charming way with words and should write a book."
I was thinking,
well, what do ya know....i am already writing a book...

[Yin717]

awesome! Like total magic.

[Horselvr565]

i got it at a chinese restraunt with the wackiest music. It sounded like they were strangleing a hippo in the kitchen :laugh: but the food was good..

[Yin717]

Strangling a hippo! LMAO!

[wolf13]

I love writing, especialy poetry. I even got one of my peoms published, I was shocked when I entered a contest and then found out that my peom was one of the semi-finalists and was getting published in a book. The poem is titled Would You Lie if anyone would like to know.

[Aidyl]

that happened to me too. the book should be coming out around christmas.
I'm so excited right now. I'm working in the final stages of sending out my query packet!!
all i have to do is create the outline, choose a sample chapter, get an sase, and then out it goes!!

[DreamChaser02]

Great job! I'm so excited for you. Any way you could send me a signed copy? Just kidding :laugh: but really, congrats for completely finnishing a idea, turning it into a story, and getting it published! By the way, what's the title?

[Aidyl]

this one is Crystal tears and it is the first book of a trilogy i am calling Crystal of Life Chronicles.
Thanks for your support!

[DreamChaser02]

I once wrote a poem inspiried by a song. Here it is. I hope you guys like it. :)
Web
A spider spins beautiful webs,
While I spin crafty lies for my peers.
When I look in my reflection, I wonder.
What do I want to see?
The person I have created by lies, or me?
The one who has hid behind them?

This is a piece of my imagination. Please do not copy.

[jamee]

By:shame218

hey all you people what do u see do u see do you a strong child in me.

Never copy this or else if i see this on the web your goingdown :vampire:

[jamee]

its ok but any poem or song i made i would be just like you dont copy cause thats your feeling not no one elses

an hereis the first i've made (i was 11)

HE WORLD BESIDE
the wind stopped
the rain left it left with the glow
of the sun on your leg
and it was tht instint that i crossed you
it was in your eyes that i was reborn
and in your arms everythin around looks very distinctive
and you change colors in every rank of my heart
i really need you just a little bit of you
so can wake from and to reality....,..and i'll continue the rest later k

and poems i made in my song lyric zone group were from ages well 12-now

[Happiny]

I got one:

CLACK VMM BOOM POW CLICK
THAT'S WHAT YOU WILL HEAR WHEN YOU
PLAY LEGO STAR WARS

I wrote that one myself.

[KoreOfTheSpirit]

I've actually done a few writings myself, yes... A few stories, a few poems, and maybe even a few fanfictions somewhere in there? Here's a quick poem that I'm making up on the spot. :)

River's Bottom
As I look at the bottom of a puddle,
I think of the bottom of a pond.
As I look at the bottom of a pond,
I think of the bottom of a river.
As I look at the bottom of a river,
I think of the bottom of river,
I think of the bottom of a lake.
As I look at the bottom of a lake,
I think of the bottom of an ocean.
As I look at the bottom of an ocean,
I think of home.
As I think of home,
I think of myself.
As I think of myself,
I think that nobody can change me...
Because I am who I am.

Written and owned by KoreOfTheSpirit


Have a nice day.

[DreamChaser02]

0.0 Thats wonderful! I love it! You made that up yourself?!

Yup. I write better poems when I feel sad, or emotional. But I'm rarely sad or emotional, so this is one was a rare poem for me to write :)

[danny boi]

i like 2 tell storys to friends instead of writing it flows more and comes from my heart whereas writing can be undone words can't

[danny boi]

okay here goes




all things bad in life come for a reason.
nothing to be scared of nothing to fear.
just opportunities, just look up.the futures bright
fight the demons and you'll be alright

[clarky241]

Haiku:

When ancient life ends
We mourn in peaceful sadness
Until they're reborn

(I've been wanting to use that for ages)

You know what? I'm going to put that Haiku on my sig

[Tork]

Do you like my story idea?

Two orphans become trained in a secert kid army called the Strom Section.

It's where the orginal Stromtroopers were from.

[jamee]

yeah is goodbut i need more detail

[Tork]

A brother and sister get sent from their orphanage to a desreted island and they have to live there for a while.

[jenjen94]

Just like a running river,
threatening to overflow.
My happiness wells up inside me,
dripping out of the sides.
My smile goes from ear to ear,
never shedding a single tear.
And just like water never stops,
I know my happiness will never run dry.

Okay, i just made that up, so dont make fun of me. :Blush: I told you, i suck at poems, i like writing stories better.

[Yin717]

I can write pretty cool stories if I can get into it. There's a story I had written but I had never finished it because I thought nobody would like it. However if I writea bit after a bit of the story in General Disscussion do you think you guys could encourage me to write more on it? I would be very grateful uif you would. You never know. You al might do it.

[jenjen94]

Sure :) I'd love to read it. I am writing two stories, The Time keeper (On page 55! :D YAY!) and My Fallen Angel (Um....page 3...) what story are you thinking about posting.

[Yin717]

Just posted it in the General Disscussion. I'll being do a part at a time at a time. It's called The 5 Kings of Britain - A Welsh Tale. It basically is set in the medieval period when Britain was ruled by 5 Kings. England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland and Norway. The part I am writing is from the Welsh view who are fighting the English. The English wish to detsroy the Welsh but they are fighting back. Not only are they fighting for survival from the English but other problems will start to occur as you read more of the story!

[clarky241]

I had an idea of a story about a group of assassins belonging to a group called S.A.D (Special Assassination Division). And they all have special super power-like abilities to help them for each job.

[tmoney012]

i have a story to post but im lazy

[tmoney012]

i have a story to post but im lazy

[Yin717]

I had an idea of a story about a group of assassins belonging to a group called S.A.D (Special Assassination Division). And they all have special super power-like abilities to help them for each job.

Sounds cool!

And tmoney don't double post.

[clarky241]

Thanks Yin. I've been wanting to write it for ages but kept putting it off. Copyrighted by the way! lol

[Yin717]

I've copyrighted mine to!

[Mud Master]

I Love To Write
I'm In Making Of Two Pokemon Books

[Yin717]

Nice! Has anybody ever read any of Clive Cusslers books? Trust me this has something to do with writing.

[clarky241]

No I haven't. I've heard of him though.

[Yin717]

I would of been a bit scarecd if you hadn't. Clive Cussler is an awesome writer. Now what he does looks really hard work to read. He writes massive books! However what he does is explain everything in perfect detail! Absoutley everything! If you want to know how to improve your describing skills then trust me, read some Clive Cussler!

[clarky241]

Okay, thanks Yin

[Yin717]

No problem. Always here to help. Any other questions you wanna big brain me? lol.

[Mud Master]

I'm Macking More Books But I'm Stuck

[Yin717]

Book, brief story so far, what you'd like, how you would like it written and any other relevent stuff.

[Mud Master]

What?

[clarky241]

He's laying out all the stuff you'd need to do to write a new book

[Mud Master]

Oh Lol

[clarky241]

Why lol?

[Mud Master]

Oops I Didn't Mean To Put That In Sorry

[Yin717]

Just tell me all the relevent stuff about the story and then I can help give you ideas.

[clarky241]

Yeah, me too. I'm good at planning stories

[Mud Master]

Well It's About A Kut Ku Named Kuu

My Name Is Kuu.I Am Part Of The Spices Yian Kut Ku.

Mudd A Story By Mud Master

[clarky241]

Well instead of diving into a story straight away, you should take time to plan it and work out what's going to happen at the beginning, middle and end of the story.

[Mud Master]

Really?
I Always Dive Right In But...Ok

[clarky241]

If you dive in straight away you'll be really stuck for ideas like you are now. Do a plan and work from that.

[Mud Master]

Ok Thanks
Once I Get It Ready Ill Post The Story

[clarky241]

OK, I'm glad I could be of help.

[Yin717]

I mean clarky is right. I don't right out my plan. But before I rwrite something I plan the basis in my head then plan the part I am going to write in my head fully and then write it down adding bits. I do it all the time.

[clarky241]

If you don't then you'll just get writer's block

[Yin717]

In english please.

[tmoney012]

im going to write one of the books i published

[Yin717]

That don't make sense.

[tmoney012]

i said im going to post my stories

[Mud Master]

Ok Lets Hear It

[Yin717]

Oh right. I was about to say. I thought you said you were gonna write a book that has been published!

[tmoney012]

yeah i published books

[Mud Master]

What Were Some Of Them?

[tmoney012]

they were only sold around where i live one of them were Life's craze

[Mud Master]

they were only sold around where i live one of them were Life's craze

Never Heard Of It

[tmoney012]

cuz it was only sold where i live

[Mud Master]

Yeah Oh Well

[jenjen94]

Who published them?

[tmoney012]

i made them

[Yin717]

Yeah which company published them.

[tmoney012]

schoolastic sent it to some place then got it published

[clarky241]

[tmoney012]

[clarky241]

OK, cheers

[tmoney012]

they are good

[clarky241]

Ok, ok

[tmoney012]

i might post the one with the murderer

[clarky241]

You'd have to post it on Role-Play and Stories

[tmoney012]

i know that

[clarky241]

Right, anyone got anything else to say?

[Yin717]

When I did my English SATS I got Level 7 in the writing and a Level 5 in the reading. lol. But the reading sucked anyway.

[Mud Master]

Umm I Need Help With One Of My Books

[Shame218]

ok ill share what i know about writing books anyways but first you need to brainstorm right all of your ideas you like then start your story little by little

[Mud Master]

I Know I Just Need Help With The Names

[Shame218]

name them by there powers if you need help tell me there powers then i can name em

[Mud Master]

I Got It Never Mind
But Thanks For Asking

[Yin717]

You could always do what this guy in Britain did. He got out a map and gave his character's place names and named all the places with human names. lol.

[Mud Master]

LOL Good Idea

[clarky241]

I just use names that pop into my head

[Mud Master]

I Do To Normally
But My Names Were Lame

[Shame218]

name one of the lame ones lol

[Mud Master]

Ok
Luke
For A Dragon Lol

[clarky241]

The names might sound bad, but try to change them a little. Like instead of Luke for a dragon why not Lukar or Luken? Try and play with them a little to see which fits the character best.

[Yin717]

Dude are you like the name changing machine? lol.

[clarky241]

I'm just good with names (I've just made a thread about it actually (Pen Names))

[Yin717]

I thought it was actually about pen pals. lol.

[clarky241]

No, I haven't got a pen pal

[Yin717]

I do....kinda.

[tmoney012]

back on topic please

[Miami12]

i love writing stories, but i'm not sure if poems is really my thing. my signature is a mini form of one of the poems i wrote, but that is just about it. i'm am writing this one book, called Stones of Blood. i plan on writing a trilogy, The Stone Trail trilogy.
and i'm sort of stuck. I need ideas.

[tmoney012]

make a thread about it and i will help you

[Yin717]

I like writing stuff and I'm good but I just lose intrest real easily unless I'm writing it for something really. Like a competition or summin.

[clarky241]

I just write all the time. My English teacher says I've got a real knack for it and a great imagination

[Yin717]

I have great imagination which I can lose easily sometimes if it's not practical.

[tmoney012]

that happens to everyone

[Yin717]

If it's something practical like running around and it all that then it stays for ages.

[tmoney012]

i hate that

[Yin717]

Why? I think it is more fun.

[tmoney012]

cuz i remember what i dont want to but forget what i do want to

[samgirl112]

i like to write.

[Yin717]

What do you like to write about?

[clarky241]

I like mixing two genres together like Comedy and Horror and stuff like that

[Yin717]

Have you ever written gothic horror?

[clarky241]

I've thought about it, but it's hard to think of a plot other than: The two vulnerable young women were led to the sinister castle where the Count was waiting to make them his brides so they could go out and kill loads of people.'' So I stick to the stuff I do best: Scary and Funny.

[Yin717]

I had to gothic horror. It is one of the most hardest pieces of writing I have ever done.

[clarky241]

Oh you mean for school? Yeah, I did one for school but it had to be original, which made it really difficult. I think I ended up doing a sort of modern gothic horror

[Yin717]

I enjoyed it but it was really hard.

[clarky241]

I enjoy writing any story, regardless of topic or genre. But horror's my favourite as you can let your imagination run wild.

[Yin717]

I like writing alot of stuff that can also involve emotions and action and stuff.

[clarky241]

Well if you don't put emotions in it doesn't feel real does it?

[Yin717]

Yeah but you can sometimes put in few emotions and it still feeld real.

[clarky241]

It depends on what sort of person your character is. If he's a cold character, he won't have emotions will he?

[Yin717]

I know some authors who can make a real life story whithout many emotions.

[clarky241]

I prefer stories with emotion though, since you can understand the character better

[Yin717]

You can also understand a character better though by the actions they do.

[clarky241]

Yeah I find it easier to express emotions than express actions so I prefer emotions

[Yin717]

Well that's you then.

[jenjen94]

I like first person stories, because then you feel like you know the character more. What about you guys?

[Mud Master]

Like Insted Of Puting


Sara Grabed A Candy

Do You Mean The One Like


I Grabed The Candy


If So I Do
My Book Is One Of Those

[Yin717]

What I like about Clive Cussler is he writes mainly in 3rd person but he also goes into the first person kind and you start to think things as those characters eventhough trhoughout the book it is still 3rd person.

[clarky241]

I suppose I don't really mind which: First or Third Person. But I do find it easier to write in First Person

[Yin717]

I'm odd. I can swap from 3rd to 1st and from 1st to 3rd without realizing. I really do need to concentrate when I write.

[clarky241]

I don't do that, but I do switch between past, present and future tenses without realising

[Yin717]

lmao! It really does get teachers annoyed don't it.

[clarky241]

I always write in capitals when I'm doing work. I think I inherit it from my Dad. I'm surprised my English teacher doesn't say anything actually

[Yin717]

How odd. My science teacher does but so that we can understand his writing.

[clarky241]

It's just a habit I have

[Yin717]

You'll grow out of it (hopefully).

[clarky241]

I've had it for years. I don't think I will. Plus I like it.

[Yin717]

Suit yourself. Apperantly if your left handed your writing is usually messier because you have to push the pen as right handed have to pull it.

[clarky241]

But left handed people are considered smarter as well. Too bad I'm right handed.

[Yin717]

I'm right handed and by hell am I smart. And you know that!

[clarky241]

It depends on what topic of course. I'm really clever at English and reading and stuff, and History, Citezinship, stuff like that. You're more smart at Science and Geofraphy and maybe Maths, I don't know.

[Yin717]

Maths! Dream on! My General Knowledge is really pretty good but my main areas are science, geography, history and a bit of RE. But enough of a our topics. Let's get bacvk onto writing.

[clarky241]

Have you ever thought of writing an AutoBiography. Mine would be called: (My Name): A Life Of zzzz

[Syd2392]

Okay, here's one of my poems... still in progress.



Save me
Even if we're worlds apart
Be my prince in shining armor
Even if your armour is tarnished
When you leave me in the dark
Don't forget me, don't forget what we have
Please, save me
And don't forget.
They watch and listen
But they'll never know,
They'll never understand
What we have.
The world is black and white
When you see it as so
But when you open up your eyes
You realize
It's all lies.
But please don't lie
To me.
Because without you,
without you,
There's no color,
No pain,
No happiness,
No sad,
No sorrow
No love
No forgiveness
Don't forget me.
Please don't forget me
In the dark.
Save me from what I've become,
Even if we from wrong sides.
Be everything I don't want and everything I need,
No matter what they say,
Don't listen to them
Be my valentine
And be with me,
Just be with me.
------
I know it's really long, and it's full of cheesiness and all that stuff, but you know... :D

[clarky241]

Don't be hard on yourself, it was pretty good

[Miami12]

okay, i just came up with this off of the top of my head:

I am:
As dark as the night,
As bright as the moon.
Some may see me as a fright,
Some may see me as a goon,
It doesn't matter how much they beat me, what they say,
For I know I can still go farther.
Because for you as of today,
I am:
Your knight in shining armor.

-it's not my best, and I think it's a bit crappy,but hey, I just thought of it...

[Shame218]

its not crappy its good

[Yin717]

I'm gonna write a poem cos everyone else is. I'm gonna base it on WW1.

As I sit in the muck,
And think over my luck.
The guns keep rumbling behind me.

As they pass out the rum,
So we don't act dumb.
The guns keep rumbling behind me.

As I cock my gun,
And prepare for the fun.
The guns keep rumbling behind.

As I wait in the cold,
And try to feel bold.
The guns keep rumbling behind me.

As the whistle blows,
And off we all go's.
The guns keep rumbling behind me.

As I charge at the Fritz,
And blow them to bits.
The guns keep rumbling behind.

As I fall to the gorund,
And form the body mound.
The guns stop rumbling behind me.

[clarky241]

That's pretty good Yin. I like to write haikus:

When ancient life ends,
We mourn in tearful despair,
Until they're reborn.

[Snake101]

I'm writing a new book called LOOKING BACK.
It's about a soldier who cannot figure out which part of his life was hsi finest hour, so he looks back over his memories from WW2 to try and find his finest hour. Here is a sample:

I had to replace some words with *s becauseI do wright with swears now. Not the F wordor snything but just some kinda rude words taht some are uncomfertable using.
---------------------------
Chapter 1
Happy Camper

My time is almost up. I am finished. A soldier without a finest hour. That makes me the same as a coward. I must have my finest hour, as fate has stolen it away from me. Well, I vow that before I die, I will recover my finest hour.

***

I stood poised to kill, my rifle in my hand, one eye shut, one eye open. I checked my gun was not on safety mode, then I aimed and fired. The helmet flew off my target, a large hole in the side.
“Good shot Whilling!” It was my General speaking. “Pity it took you about a minute to actually shoot the ***** target!”
It sighed and lowered my gun. Mabye if I left now he would leave me alone.
“You just take your time and fire Whilling.” ****. “Because as long as YOU get YOUR shot it’s all ok, don’t worry about the REST of the men. No, you just take your time, you shoe licking weasel!”
I set my rifle down and walked back to my tent.
Rob, my mate, asked,
“Another minute headshot?”
“Yeah.” I said.
“Jack, why don’t you sign up to be a scout? It could be your kind of job.” He said.
“And miss out on the action? Never.” I said. I was in this war to fight Jerry’s face to face, not hide away in some ******** bush with a big ***** scope on my gun. Nah, I’m a real front line guy.
I sat on my bunk, tossing a bullet up in the air and catching it, then putting it in my pocket.

[Mud Master]

I Like It :D

[Snake101]

Thanks. It aint all like action. Theres liek REALLY sad bits, tension, and those bits were mates are jsut mates and after they go through something bad they smile.

The last big action part in the book will be D-Day, which will be hard to write about.

[MacPro]

Wow. you wrote that? that's...beyond words. it's great. i'm writing a book too. it's called
The Hollow Echoes. i just want to share a bit of it. and well, i curse in my books too...so, you know.
-------
Chapter One
Up and Down

I do not want to be here, but since I am, I might as well make the best of it while I can. But that is not what I want to do, so instead I slowly ease through the crowd, invisible. As I search for an end to the maze, a way out, I find that there is no way out.
Behind me, the sound of drunk voices fill the air. I ignore them, but soon enough I find myself strangely being drawn to them. I wonder who is it? I fight the urge to go back to where I have come from, and keep on walking. My name was soon mentioned, and I could no longer resist the urge to look back.
I regret it as soon as I do. Attention is drawn to me face, and I can feel myself reddening. The crowd pulled me back to where I started. Though I know the answer, I cannot help but wonder, how did I get back here?
I look into the faces of the people I passing, trying to find something else. All I find is hate, pain...And more hate.
Great.
Well, I had my up days, and my down days.
I guess that this one, was down.

[Mud Master]

Wow.....
That's Awesome :)
Keep At It

[Yin717]

There's a book I'd love to write but every time I start I lose intrest. Maybe if I wrote it for like an event to make money then maybe I might do it.

[Snake101]

Oh yeah, I'm enetring this bit o fwriting for a compitition.
It aint really a story, or a poem, just a short bit of writing about My Favourite Place.

--------
MY FAVOURITE PLACE

There is a place which nobody else knows about, where I can go to do whatever I want.
It is a place where I rule supreme and I can hide from the enemy whatever that may be.
Because when you walk through a field, across a river, over a fence and down a lane, into a train tunnel and up a hill, then through a forest and past a pond, you arrive at my favourite place.
This is where I can be king, and the citizens of my kingdom bow down to me.
The fish are the cars in the river which is a giant metropolis.
The mice are the street cleaners who take all scraps and litter off the ground and back to their home.
The spiders are the police, who catch all the insect criminals in their web which is a sticky jail.
The birds are the orchestra who perform in the stage of the thickest branches of the trees, and the frogs are the old pensioners who croak and cough all day long.
The trees are my palace and they are where I can look upon my favourite place.
I can climb through them and sit on the topmost branch of all, which is my throne.
I can watch the honey manufacturers collect pollen from the flowers which are storage rooms.
I can see the many leaves which are planes that carry bugs safely to the ground, and I can watch as the ladybirds that are the pest control system get rid of greenfly on plants.
And when the night draws in, and the city grows dark, and the stars which are high up lampposts switch on, I can see my kingdom as it would be at night.
The bats that fly through the threatening darkness, allowing it top embrace and surround them.
The foxes that are the midnight murderers, who ambush and kill any curfew ignorers.
And finally, as the cockerel which is the town clock calls out at dawn, and the animals wake up, my favourite place comes to life once again, and I. rule supreme.

------------------
The prize for the compitition is £50. Not alot but I dont enter these things for cash, (Well, soemtimes that makes up a little bit of why I enter :P) but I enter them because it lets others rate my writing.

[MacPro]

that one was great too.
Awesome.
good luck with your competition!
hope you win.

[Snake101]

So do I lol

[clarky241]

There's a book I'd love to write but every time I start I lose intrest. Maybe if I wrote it for like an event to make money then maybe I might do it.

Well if you start to lose interest, then you should change the tone of it to suit your interest better.

[Yin717]

No I love the idea and everything about it's just I I end up getting bored with writing a book. Maybe I could write the book and sell it to people in the village to raise money for the church.

[clarky241]

But if you get bored writing the book then there must be something missing. If you think it a brilliant idea and sounds great, you should love writing it.

[Mud Master]

My Book Is Really Far :D

[clarky241]

Well once you're half way through you'll find that you can't help but carry on.

[Tork]

I love to write fanstany stories.

[clarky241]

Me too because you need a massive imagination and that's one of my strengths

[Mud Master]

I Like To Write About Dragons And Wolves

[Tork]

Me too.

[Yin717]

I love to write about war.

[clarky241]

It's hard though since none of us have been to war and can't draw off our experiences.

[Yin717]

Though games do show a war experince very well and so do books. However the best way to write war is to sit down and get into the feeling of war and think of like movies and games and pretend that is actually you and you can look up and see machine gun fire and people scared and your running with your gun and stuff. Look here's an example:

As I stood in the landing craft I could clearly hear the clatter of the machine gun fire. Though they weren't aiming at us, it was still a terryfing sound. Within 30 seconds the devils eye had seen us coming and the machine gun clatter came our way. As my unit ducked our heads we waited for the whistle. As the boat started to slow my heart beat began to beat viciously refusing to take me further but I forced it out of the way until the shudder of the boat stopping brought it back. The whistle blew and the door came down......after that all I saw was blood and guts. I ran through the mass of dead men refusing to let the Germans claim me as kill and pushed onwards. I came to rest behind a metal thing that was used to stop the boats getting further up the beach and I hid. After the machine gun fire had been directed away from my spot I bravely lifted my head to look at the bunker. Heavily fortified and was armed with what looked like hundreds of drnagons spitting fire out of their mouths. Bravely I picked myself up and ran. Didn't know where I was going but anywhere that would help stop this bloody battle. Suddenly a shell blew up behind me throwing me down to the ground and fater that everything slowed, everything went quite as I sat there and watched men run and die. I crawled to saftey of another metal post I till I was shaken by my corporal. Screaming so he could be heard over the gunfire he said "What do we do now sir!"
"Who's in charge I here?" I replied. The corporal shouted out some words and reply came back.
"Colonel Williham is dead! Captain Frederick is in charge!" The corporal turns to me and says "You are sir." I turned at looked at the deathly bunker. Hundreds of mens lives were in my hands.

[Mud Master]

:wow: That's Awesome
Do you Have More?

[Snake101]

This is a peice from my book LOOKING BACK. Looking Back is a book about a soldier without a finest hour, so as he tries to remember it, he tells the tale of his War Life.
This is a part where the soldier has a face to face figth with a German Soldier. It will probably be the most Bond Like fight I have written.
Do you think it is realistic, or should I change it?

-------

I was woken by thump against my chest.
There were faint sounds, I don’t know where from, but I opened my eyes to see who woke me.
It was a Jerry. He said something in German to me, laughed cruelly, then kicked me.
I grunted in pain as his heavy boot collided with my head. He grabbed me by the back of my neck and hauled me to my feet, punching me to make sure I didn’t overpower him.
I stood, dazed and shocked. Here I was, standing, with no weapon, in front of a Jerry, and I wasn’t doing anything!
The Jerry went to hit me again, but I moved my head just in time. Then I did what my Close Combat instructor taught me, I grabbed his wrist, kicked him in the stomach and went to twist his arm behind his back.
Unfortunately, the Jerry knew a thing or two about fighting as well.
He swung his other arm round and grabbed MY wrist, and pulled it off his, then he punched me.
I fell backwards onto the ground.
The Jerry took out is machine gun and fired a few bullets into the ground near my head.
I would have jerked aside, but I was letting my training take over.
No more thinking, no more considering. Instincts only.
The Jerry went to fire again but I swung my foot up and kicked his gun, knocking him off aim.
I sprang up, punched him, and shoved my knee into his stomach.
He swore in German, and attempted to hit me with his gun.
I dodged it, and pushed him over.
Then, my brain switched back on. I didn’t know what to do now. I had to think.
The Jerry had thrown his machine gun away, and now he had a shotgun from a dead soldier which was on the ground beside him. He fired, and missed.
I ducked, just out of reaction, and he stood up.
He fired again, and missed again. He was not used to using a British Shotgun.
I charged at him, throwing him off aim, and shoulder barged him roughly into the window of a shop.
He was about to fire again, when I grabbed his shotgun and tried to pull it off him.
He pulled back, not letting go.
We had a tug of war like that for about 30 seconds, then, with a grunt, I pulled it from his hands.
He pulled out his pistol, but I knocked it out of his grasp with my gun.
Then I stepped forward, brought my rifle down, and hit the Jerry on the shoulder.
He cursed at me in German,
He went to hit me, but I grabbed the Hand Grenade which was tied to his shirt.
This was a trick I had used only about 3 times, and it had only ever worked once.
I tugged with all my might, and eventually pulled the pin out.
He looked at me for a split second, then I shot the shop window with the shotgun, shattering it.
The Jerry was now desperately trying to put the grenade pin back in the grenade, but before he even picked up the pin, I shoved him through the now broken shop window.
He fell over the frame, toppled off a table and then the grenade exploded.
I turned away from the explosion and looked around.

-------------
Hope you like it.

[Mud Master]

I do!!!

[Yin717]

Now that's a true account and even that is shocking.

:wow: That's Awesome
Do you Have More?

I do. I might actually write a book for defenate this time cos I like this stuff.

The corporal shouted again this time switching my head into mode. "What do we do now sir!" I looked for my Sergeant and saw hiom with a bunch of troops to the right of me. "Sergeant Trachet! What's the situation?" After he took a quick glance he turned back to me. "Heavy machine gun emplacements, anti-tank emplacements, mortar emplacements. I don't know what your thinking but I ain't risking my backside for any stupid charge!" After I heard that saying I knew he was right. Even if the charge was succesful we still wouldn't have enough men to overrun the beach. Bullets where still whizzing over my head hitting men all around me and I guess that's what made me hurry my ideas. I turned round to the corporal beside me. "What weapons we got?" He had a quick look and then gave me a reply.
"From what I see and remember sir. 1 flamethrower who is to scared to be burnt alive. A few bangaloures. Quite a few thompsons and hell of alot of M1 Granands. Why?" I mulled it over for about 5 seconds and then gave an order.
"I want the flamethrower escorted by some troops head down the left side of the beach. Create a diversion and I don;t want now backchat! Corporal! You lead that section. The rest of you are with me!" The corporal and his comrade stood to move positions when I noticed that the clatter of the machine gun fire was coming our way. "GET DOWN!" I shouted. I was able to save the corporal but I was to late for the private as was he hit mutiple times and his short bursts of blood flew out of his body. He fell down into the sea and made the sea even redder. "Be careful corporal. This ain't a drill" The corporal gave me a nood and moved on. "Right men! With me now! Charge!" In unison the men charged at the sand barricades left so nicely by the jerry. Bullets whizzing past me, mortar fire exploding. Oner man ran infront of me waving like a blithering idioit and was quickly mowed down by the machine gun. I had only a few seconds to fall flat on my face to survive. The guy was still alive so I dragged him with me to the banks so a medic could treat his wounds. With the bullets still whizzing past me i truged on until a mortar fire took my comrades life and consequently threw me the sand banks. Phase 1 was accomplished. But now the difficult bit.

[clarky241]

Brilliant Yin. It's a real talent to write stories when you have no experience of war

[Daedric Cuirass]

Who come I can't vote?

[clarky241]

Because the poll is closed, don't post innapropriate questions. Anyway, as I was saying I think war is one of the hardest subjects to write about.

[Yin717]

Well I've studied war, especially the first and second, pretty much my entire life. It really does facisinate me and you'll be surprised how much war tactics can help you each day! But some of the best ways to experince wars is actually from video games because there are extremly accurate and also movies. I think one of the best movies so far, that's won many Oscars and where I got my ideas from, is Saving Private Ryan. Especially the first scene on Omaha beach. It is perfectly correct and if you wanna learn more on how you could write about war I suggest you watch that. And I have decided to write a book this and I'm certain I will finish. It's called the secret assasination and it focus's on a Captain Frederick Horton who, once he was landed on Omaha, takes a team of soldiers to go and kill some SS soldiers who are wreking havoc. However the problem with these books is you have to do reasearch else if you get something wrong then your gonna look stupid.

[clarky241]

Saving Private Ryan is a good film, yes, and very realistic. It's the highest grossing war film ever made.

[Yin717]

I'm gonna watch it to help me with the D-Day and warfare for my book. I'm now writing a book on the Second World War and I love it! I've finally found a book I like to write!

[Snake101]

I entered this poem in a compititon and won! I thought I should put it here for you to see.

----

I WILL FORGET

If you forget something,
You will try and remember it,
Therefore you will begin to think,
But if you remember,
You will forget what you were trying to remember,
As you now know what you forgot,
So you no longer are trying to remember,
But trying not to forget,
And as you try not to forget,
You will remember what you forgot,
And then you will realise that you may forget it,
So you try and remember what you forgot,
So now you have forgotten what you remembered to not forget,
And if you remember once again, it is likely you will forget,
To remember not to forget,
But then you will remember what you almost forgot,
And will forget not to forget,
Therefore remembering is not realising what you forgot,
But it is forgetting that you remembered what you forgot.

[Mud Master]

Thats Beutiful

[sonickilla]

i dont write that much but i draw

[Snake101]

Thats Beutiful


Beautiful?
Wow.
I wasn't expecting THAT good a compliment.

Thanks.

[Mud Master]

Np But It Was

[Yin717]

I'm not very good at poems. My rhyming words usually suck. No I'm better at writing.

[clarky241]

I love writing poems, I've got a knack for it.
I've just started writing a book based on a game series that I love.

[Shame218]

hey clarky could you post one of the poems u made

[clarky241]

I enjoy writing haikus (if you don't know what one is, PM me, don't ask on the thread), and here's one of my best one's:

When ancient life ends
We mourn in tearful sadness
Until they're reborn

[Snake101]

I have a bit of writing, it's really short, and comes in a few bits.
I read them out at school in assembly for like some kind of Charity convention.
Here they are:

1) A man in a street once asked me,
"If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?"
I replied,
"I change the fact that it needs to be changed, therefore the world would be perfect.

2)If you are ever wondering how big to build something, or how long a story must be, answer this question:
How long is a peice of string? (As long as it needs tp be)

3)Arguments always end in a command. If they ended in a request, the world would be peaceful.
(E.G: Instead of "Go Away" it could be "Would you go away?" . Thi sgives the other person a choice and should they decline and if they asked a question back, both men could come to an agreement."

[clarky241]

I love words of wisdom like that. They're really clever.

[Yin717]

hmmmmm I want to do some writing. Here we go:

The rain pattered down on my tin helmet as I lay there amougnest the rubble of blown out cafe. The whole street, the whole town, was like this! The happiness of houses obliverated by the unhappiness of the german shells. We had experinced heavy bombing from then for some time but it had finally stopped........which was the worst thing! Next to me was my Corporal and my Sergeant with two privates. Not much to stop a German army but there a few more men dotted around the streets. if the Germans managed to push through then we would meet at the rendezvous point. I looked up to church tower, twtiching my eyes as the rain feel into them, and looked up at the men using our machine guns and sniper rifle. I saw some hand movements and knew what they meant. At least 4 tanks and big load of heavy infantry. I just sat there and prayed that all would work out well. I looked at my men and they all gave me the thumbs up. I looked back out the destroyed cafe window, if you could call it a window, and waited, Waited for death to yet again smack me in the face. I thought the Normandy landings were enough but no. Wherever I go I still meet it. My thoughts were suddenly stopped as I felt the rumbling of tanks. Not our tanks. Oh no! If they were I would stand up and dance! No these were German tanks causing this ruumbling and I just lay there and waited. Waited for the hell to begin so that I could stop my nerves shaking and just take control. As the tank came closer I lifted my Thompson and aimed down the aimer. How many times I have shot Germans with this particular gun? To many times to be counted! As the rumbling grew closer my hand started to shake as the vibration was so much. Then I saw it round the corner! A big beast! All black and menacing. No wonder people were frightened by these panzer divisions! I waited and waited. Where is that god **** signel? Just set it off! Then it went! A thunderous explosion! And my only response was to pull the trigger of my own deadly weapon.
