2443604 Hey, Brandon Mull lovers! This is a chance for you to get your writing out there. Post the link to your stories with a bit of info, if you'd like. Please comment on my stories if you read them. I'd greatly appreciate feedback.

Be forewarned: All my stories are a) romances, or b) will have romance sooner or later. What can I say, I'm a teenage girl and a romanceaholic.

This is a fantasy I'm working on-- it doesn't have a title at the moment. It reminds me of Fablehaven a teeny bit just because it's in third person and stuff like that, but I don't think I can dream of it being anywhere near as good. But it's my favorite of my writing. Right now, I'm not at a very exciting part; it's kind of an info-dump, but I swear things will get more exciting. Here's the link: http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/4589...

This one is called One Last Look. It's mostly realistic, except for a few elements. I'm at a bit of a standstill with it right now, but so help me, I will get over this writer's block. Here's the link: http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/4409...

This one is... (drumroll, please) ... a Fablehaven fanfiction! It has some romantic elements in it, and it's basically the story of Fablehaven from the unlikely perspective of Madeline Fisk. She's Dougan and Maddox's sister, and she's Warren's fiancee. This takes place before Book 1 and will carry out through the rest of the series. Here's the link: http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/5127...

I have lots of other stories, but they're crappy and I have discontinued them. You'd be wasting time to read them.

Your turn!

Nophoto-f-25x33 SWEET!! Your awesome Anna! I love how you have the guts to post your writing on Goodreads! I love to write, and I do a lot...I just don't have the guts to post them. Maybe I will now...maybe...


message 3: by Anna (Maxy) (new)

2443604 Thanks! I don't mind letting friends or total strangers see my writing. It's the family part I have an issue with. I've showed some of my writing to one of my sisters, but that's kinda where I draw the line. I want to be published someday, and I know I'll have to face that fear sometime, but... Haha.

message 10: by Anna (Maxy) (new)

2443604 I don't have writer's block, but I'm uber busy right now. I'm doing the school musical, Once Upon a Mattress, and I don't have a ton of free time now. But it will be better in the middle of next week when it's all over. Thank you so much, though! I'll write more as soon as I can.


message 11: by Awesome (new)

2777381 off. Ok/ how do you write dtories? i mean, on goodreads. I haven't figured it out.


message 13: by Anna (Maxy) (new)

2443604 Kay, you know that box on the right side (when you're on the "home" page) that has things like "profile", "groups", "inbox", and stuff like that? There's a link that says "writing". Click on it and it will have a list of writing you've done. When you get there, click on "add new writing" and then you can put up a story.

Oh my gosh! That is my exact problem. I can totally relate. Isn't that funny the way that is?

P.S. I would put stories on, but I'm not finished enough to some extent...I also wonder if I have the courage to do it...

message 19: by Cloudwing (new)

2839258 ya


message 20: by Anna (Maxy) (new)

2443604 Yeah, I know. I forgot what I have the rest of this week, though. I have a huge project due on Friday and I haven't started, and this is kind of my crazy week. Bah. December isn't going to be any better... But I need to write! Grr... Stupid school. It's stealing my life. =\

2839258 same here........................hey i have an idea we should all set a time for when we should all get on and talk to each other at the same time


2777381 Mine too. Well, it is dif for each person because of the timezones, write?


message 23: by Cloudwing (new)

2839258 oh ya


2777381 Ughh... I hate yime zone because it is always inconvienient.


message 25: by ♫ Mandy ♫ (new)

Nophoto-f-25x33 Same here! Why can't it just be different countries with the time zones, not one country with five!?!?!


message 26: by Cloudwing (new)

2839258 that would be nice


2777381 texas has two time zones. How do you write stories ongoodreads?


message 28: by Anna (Maxy) (new)

2443604 Look at post #13. I wrote how on there.


2777381 ohhh... okay. Thanks! I'll post the completed add to the story there! I didn't see that. THanks!


message 30: by ♫ Mandy ♫ (last edited 28 days ago, 06:41PM) (new)

Nophoto-f-25x33 I did have a link to my story and stuff, but I just deleted the story so it can go through some major revisions.


2777381 The one with no title sounds like percy jackson. Born and raised in New York, evil teachers, having to change many schools, that is a comparison!! ^.^ I might have missed a catch


Your story is easy to read, but it lacks long sentences. (But it's okay.)
The begini\ning is not compelling, so maybe you should address the problem. I like it, mostly because I can't write anything better, and it has a good plot.


2777381 http://www.goodreads.com/story/list/2777...

That is all I wrote. Only one chapter. Please tell me how you like them, and make some suggestions.


message 33: by ♫ Mandy ♫ (new)

Nophoto-f-25x33 Thanks for the feedback Selena. I'm still working on the beginning--I'm planning on writing it last...

I know it is so much like Percy Jackson in the beginning! I actually had just read that series right before I started, so I think it leaked into it. :/ That's one reason I'm rewriting it later...

I'll add more sentences...

Glad you liked the plot!


2777381 Yup! Umm... i think that your story is amazing, now *Put on phony old english voice* how fares mine?


2777381 I now have 6 chapters. i got one review from a total stranger!!


2777381 ooh, when I finished chapter one, I am guessing that megan is a hamadryad?


message 37: by ♫ Mandy ♫ (new)

Nophoto-f-25x33 Nice guess. I'm taking the story of right now because I am doing major revisions. I'm reading your story now. I'll let you know feedback later...


message 38: by ♫ Mandy ♫ (new)

Nophoto-f-25x33 I just finished reading it and I really like it. I just have a few feedback questions and comments.

How old are these characters?

I think that the relationship was going along really fast, more like an infatuation if you get what I'm saying. Just a little but though.

Other then that--I really, really like it!


message 39: by Anna (Maxy) (new)

2443604 Hey, guys! Any of you interested in having covers for your stories (just images from picnik.com)? I'd love to make one for you if you have ideas. I've made a few for my stories, and I'm officially addicted. All I'd need is the title of your story, your name (if you're comfortable with that), and the sort of pictures you want on it.


message 40: by Anna (Maxy) (new)

2443604 Just a quick update: I'm inching through chapter two. Almost done!

okay!
Thank you! ^.^

Well, the characters are freshmen in high school, so... fourteen? And I did skip a few days. Sometimes a week. but yeah... It is ind of fast. Oh yeah, and I am VERY sorry for the short chapters. I kind of stop writing when my family is home. O.o


2777381 Ughhh... I am going to hate the Percy Jackson movie!!!! Annabeth isn't blonde!


message 43: by ♫ Mandy ♫ (new)

Nophoto-f-25x33 She isn't!!! What!! I didn't see her in the trailer. Which one did you watch?

That's really cool Anna! I would tell you the title of my story if I had one. I usually wait for titles to come last. But I will keep in touch.




message 45: by ♫ Mandy ♫ (new)

Nophoto-f-25x33 Anna, I just found out you're LDS! SWEET! I am too.

What we call LDS is more commonly known as Mormon.
