Some events and happenings might be a surprise. I'll use personalities based on what is put in in the "Create Your Charries" in Roleplay! discussion, so fill that out if you haven't.
Yeah, of course Maya!
If you put me in the book, make me the mysterious character. :3 I love that

GO AHEAD. JUST NEED A SWEET CAR RIDE FROM JASON'S HOUSE TO THE ACADEMY OF MAGIC IN NEW YORK.

MOST OF THOSE, HE HAS A BROTHER NAMED COLIN WHO IS OLDER. A BIT SHY, DOESN'T REALLY LIKE FIGHTING EXCEPT FOR VIDEOGAMES.
AND IN THE BOOK I WILL MAKE IT SO THERE IS ONLY ONE ACADEMY IN NEW YORK SO I CAN KEEP TRACK OF ALL THE CHARACTERS AND THEIR ABILITY TO CONNECT. BUT KEEP THE TWELVE ACADEMIES ON GOODREADS, BUT NOT IN THE BOOK
Are you done with the book?
FantasyFan J wrote: "MOST OF THOSE, HE HAS A BROTHER NAMED COLIN WHO IS OLDER. A BIT SHY, DOESN'T REALLY LIKE FIGHTING EXCEPT FOR VIDEOGAMES."RIGHT... LEMME THINK...
OKAY, SO FIRST YOU'VE GOT TO DECIDE IF THERE'S GOING TO BE A MAIN VILLAIN OR JUST REOCCURRING BAD EVENTS. NEXT, YOU HAVE TO SORT OUT THROUGH THE CHARACTERS. WHO IS RELATED TO WHO, WHO IS THE SHY ONE, WHO IS THE LEADER, WHO IS PART OF THIS AND THAT. MAYBE YOU SHOULD START OFF WITH THE MAIN CHARACTERS, I SUGGEST FROM TWO TO FIVE. YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT THEY SHINE MORE THAN THE REST OF THE OTHERS, AND ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THIS IS AN ACADEMY WHERE THERE ARE TONS OF CHARACTERS. TAKE HARRY POTTER FOR EXAMPLE, ONLY THREE CHARACTERS OF ALL FORTY ARE THE MAIN CHARACTERS. (view spoiler)
NOW FOR THE NEXT STEP...UH... (I'LL GET BACK TO YOU ON THIS ONE...)
OKAY, SO NOW YOU JUST GOT TO PLAN OUT THE WHOLE STORY IN ADVANCE. TRY TO PUT IN AS MANY TWISTS AND CLIFF-HANGERS IN IT, SO THE READERS KEEP GETTING SHOCKED AND CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE. OH YEAH, AND WHAT GENRE DOES IT FIT IN? MYSTERY? ACTION? FANTASY? ADVENTURE?
FANTASY, ADVENTURE
Why not let everyone try to make the nice and try to finish it by next year, 2015
Everyone writes different, it's better to plan your main character first and go from there. :)
The first chapter
