Writers...how alike are we all?


Question


Writers...how alike are we all?
So yes or no answers


Answer


Bowser.brbr You prefer to write alonebrAbsolutely. I get very selfconscious if I try to write in a room with others, so I tend to just wait until Im alone. And Id never, ever be able to cowrite a novel with someone.brbr You are an introvertbrHa! Yes. I think I take, quotintrovertquot to a whole new level. My brother has Aspergers, and my Mum wanted to get me tested for it as well because Im so antisocial. But I assured her that I just dont like people, and its true.brbr When you go to bed, you usually have a predream, where you control the dreamstory in your headyou think about your own storybrOn occasion, yes. I dont do it every night, but a few times a week I find my mind wandering to Glendeyn and figuring out whats going to happen next.brbr You daydreambrLets just say my minds in the clouds.brbr When you get an idea when you are out, you think about it for the rest of the day until you get in and have to write type it down and you end up forgetting where you even were or what you were doing, lolbrYes! But my mind is so erratic that I very rarely manage to remember the entire idea. Its so annoying gtbrbr You prefer to stay in and write than go out to a partybrYuck, parties.brShuddersbrThe last thing I want to do is stand around in a room with a bunch of drunk teenagers getting hit on by people that repulse me.brbr You are femalebrYes brbr You hatedont like exercisingbrWell. Only because its so damned hot in this country. Id probably exercise if I had some form of equipment in the house... Like an Ab Twister! Ah, Id love one of those. But most of the time Im just sitting around on my a. Thank God for my fast metabolism.brbr You are creative in other things, such as art, music, dancing etc...brNo brIm the most uncreative person in the universe. Im also terrible at analytical things, like math and science. Writing is pretty much the only thing I have, and even then Im not that great at it.brI used to play bass and write songs, but I pretty much sucked. And then my bass broke so... That was the end of that fiasco. I also used to play the violin, but I was so terrible that my teachers hair actually started falling out. And as for art, well... I like to doodle.brbr When you read, you sometimes roll your eyes if the character does something stupid or you mumble out something like quotWhat was the point in that?quotbrYES! Eurgh, Im doing that a lot in the book Im reading now.brbr You are more of a jogging bottoms and a hoody type of person than a quotI have to wear makeup and look best MOST of the time.quotbrEh, kind of. I dont own jogging bottoms or hoodies, but I do spend most of my time in comfortable clothes like tshirts and what have you. I dont like to leave the house without makeup because my skin is so atrocious, but thats just me.brbr Your books have many creases on the spinebrHow did you know?! Dbrbr You prefer hardbacks to paperbacks excluding the costbrYes! Hardbacks make me feel smart, not to mention I prefer to hold them.brbr You are in no rush to get published you have a long while yet to get your book out therebrYahuh. I recognise that Ive got a LONG way to go writing wise, and I dont mind spending a lot of time perfecting it.br All your stories in your notepad or word doc that are unfinished, you see them as writing practise and not as failing stories.brHahahah, pretty much. But all of my unfinished stories have been deleted over the years by spiteful siblings. So I never did get to finish them.brbr You seem to do better when writing in rd personbrWell, Im not exactly sure. I dabbled in writing the first chapter of my novel in both to see, but the people I showed it to had really mixed reviews. So... I still dont have a clear answer on which Im better at.brbr You read and write so you can escape mundane lifeproblemsbrYes brbr You love book trailers more than reading what its aboutbrBook trailers? Oh, those things on YouTube? No, I dont really like those. I like to read blurbs though.brbr You are a fast typerbrYep! And a fast texter. Like lightning.brbr You used to be an outdoor person but now you are more of an indoor person so you can write.brYes, but I think that has more to do with where we live now, and also not being a kid anymore. When I was younger and living in a totally awesome neighbourhood in New Zealand I used to spend all day running around getting up to mischief with my brother. We explored all the creeks in the area, and went on bike adventures every weekend. Damn it was awesome. Curse you Australian suburbia! Curse you!



WRITERS BLOCK can anyone help me?


Question


WRITERS BLOCK can anyone help me?
I am currently facing a severe writers block.


Answer


I usually go to a very public place mall, popular park, grocery store, etc. and observe the interactions between people around me and try to make up a story in my head to go behind the interaction. brPlay around with it, place the potential story in different scenery and stuff like that. Sometimes a really good story can be instigated that way.brIf not, at least youll have fun looking like a creeper staring at people. br Good luck, I hope you get out of it soon!

Would you read this part of my book, please, and tell me if you like it, hate it, or if you would read on?


Question


Would you read this part of my book, please, and tell me if you like it, hate it, or if you would read on?
This is just the first draft.


Answer


It definitely catches me. A few things you might consider changing though the first sentence is a little convoluted. How about going with something like, quotMy heart is beating loudly in my earsquot. And it needs a bit of editing here quotMy eyes dart to Alec, WHOSE body LIES limp on the concrete roofquot, and maybe change the sentence after that to the more polished, quotI dont know if hes dead, or just unconscious, but I suspect the worst.quot For the sentence after that, I think quotMy eyes are DRAWN behind mequot, instead of WANDER DOWN. quotWander downquot sounds very casual, as if she has all the time in the world to look at the scenery, while quotdrawnquot sounds more like a compulsion, something she cant help but do. The tense in the sentence after that is wrong it should be quotoblivious to what IS going on above their headsquot. Another thing, is the antagonists name Gage or Gale? Because you switch them midway. And quotfollowersquot should be followers couldnt make it clear what I was referring to with the extra quotations, so I used dashes. One last thing, and its just a suggestion perhaps instead of quotfor I have cast it myselfquot casted isnt a word, the past tense of cast is also cast, just by the way, you could say quothaving cast it myself a number of timesquot. I think that flows better. And one last, LAST thing, in my opinion, you should use something different that Rosalie for your characters name, even if its just Rose due to a certain books popularity, I dont think your character will be taken as seriously as she would otherwise be.brSorry if I seem overly critical. You actually do have a good beginning here, and Id like to read more when you come up with it.

Question for girls who have read the Twilight books?


Question


Question for girls who have read the Twilight books?
Would you all say that you dream about having a relationship like Bella and Edwards??


Answer


If I am dreaming about it, then its a nightmare.brBoys need to have flaws and imperfections just the same as girls do. We like their naughty little quirks. No one wants a guy who never breaks the rules or is just perfect like that.brNo girl wants a body guard boyfriend. Edward is so protective it is a miracle that Bella didnt spontaneously combust. But that wouldnt have made for a very good story, now would it?brGuys who are extremely hot... kind of scary. We dont want boys to look like an angel. Its just kind of scary. We like imperfections.brAnd who would torture a girl with prom?! Come one, dancing? Sheesh. Boys need to respect a girls wishes, not hold her against her will and force her to do something she doesnt want to.brbrWell, I am speaking for all the girls I know, so I hope I dont offend any of the others who disagree with me.brHope this helps!brAnd if you are worried about a relationship, know this The girl might be nice, but if she dreams about Edward and better things, then she isnt the one for you. You need to find a girl who wont look twice at Edward because she loves you. So be you, because if you pretend to be someone you arent, then you will never love the girl who loves you.brGod bless brbrEdit I forgot to add my direct answer.brNO WAY!brOkay, now I feel better. I just dont want someone like Edward around.
