<p>The first eragon book and swordbird bored me, I didn’t finish either on the first read. but as they got older, their writings improved.</p>
<p>plot bunny? never heard of it @.@</p>
<p>Haha, a “plot bunny”'s basically an idea for a story that you have, but often fail to put it into action lol. :P</p>
<p>I’ve gotten some poetry pieces published, one was telling a story in poem form… that’s all really.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yeah, working on a fantasy epic at the moment. </p>
<p>And no, it’s not high fantasy. I’ve had enough swords and dragons to last a lifetime.</p>
<p>Paolini is a joke…I’ve read the series, and almost thrown the books into the trash at some points.</p>
<p>Anyway, I can’t wait to go to college. Finally, English classes that actually teach stuff!</p>
<p>Eragon series = Plot of Star Wars planted in an LOTR universe. 0 original content.</p>
<p>(if you don’t believe me on the plot of star wars thing, think about it. There is an equivalent to nearly every single star wars event/character, minus Han Solo (though he may be combined with Vader in Murtagh) and Chewie.)</p>
<p>I sort of am…
I’m trying to write something for that scholastic alliance for arts and writers contest…
its sort of weird though part of it is like about a transvestite jazz singer traveling across America and I’m not sure if I’m going to continue</p>
<p>I’ve started several, but like Choklit Rain said, I don’t have enough life experiences to come up with something meaningful enough to be put into a great piece of writing. I don’t want to write about anything I know, because high school life is a pretty horribly overdone (and boring) topic, so I’m just writing little shorts here and there about what I observe till I feel I know enough about the world to write about something really interesting.</p>
<p>I did NaNoWriMo in 2008, and it was pretty successful. I did JulNoWriMo in 2009, and while I got to 50K, the story itself was an epic fail.</p>
<p>Yeah, I don’t have many life experiences, so I write fantasy. I rely more on my imagination that way :)</p>
<p>and on topic, publishing a book(even if it’s not a novel) is one of my life goals. I just don’t see the need to put together a novel as an 18 year old, considering that it will suck and sit in a drawer forever.</p>
<p>^I want to be an author with many titles to my name. Best to get started early, if you ask me. I probably won’t get my first out until the last leg of college though.</p>
<p>^ same here, ChoklitRain =]</p>
<p>i’m trying to write a novel now, but i keep getting distracted by life… maybe it’s for the best that way, lol.</p>
<p>but just because a novel written by a teenager might suck doesn’t mean that it was written for nothing… completing a novel is a herculean task, even if it sucks. so it’s good to have the experience, even if the end result is not fantastic.</p>
<p>Trying to write novels was practically all I did after school, between ages of 7 and 12.
Meh. They weren’t novels. More like parodies of existing works w/ crazy twists and lots of inside jokes.
I would never publish any of them, 'cause I don’t feel like editing.</p>
<p>i tried to write a story about my imaginary friend but then she killed herself so i was too sad to write any more</p>
<p>got to a good 10 pages though</p>
<p>not quite a novel huh</p>
<p>I wrote one about this girl but i don’t want to go into detail, it was soooo suckish… I got to a good 48 pages</p>
<p>o.O</p>
<p>I started a chapter book about … wth was it about. I stopped after page 3 because I had no clue what I was rambling on about. This was in 6th grade.</p>
<p>haha niice. I started writing mine during the fall of 8th grade. I hope to start another one soon.</p>
<p>lol I got 8 pages into a bildungsroman novel before I ran out of material</p>
<p>48 pages is practically a novella</p>
<p>Make a good one and publish it. What a good hook that would be.</p>
<p>Of course. Hasn’t everyone? I’ve started several stories, but they always end up as backstory for games rather than full stories…</p>
<p>Yeah, it IS pretty long but I personally don’t like what I wrote about and I don’t find it to be something that someone would love to read about. I’m starting a new one asap and this one will definetly go better.</p>
