it reminds me of maximum ride too, but my original idea came from this game that my cousins and i play.
if my profiles on Private than you can go to explore, and then stories and writing and search Dementia
yea. its called Dementia i think. you can search stories from the Most Popular Stories page
Its really good and its a good first chapter!

no way! its definantly doesnt sound bad. i think it sounds great!

I need a Batman story. Like any movie/episode of Batman or Robin.
Well, in my story I need to summarize some sort of batman story, and i can't think of anything.
I'll probably have to make something up . . .
hmmm... i don't know much about batman. except he's like part bat. and he hangs upside down when he sleeps. and he lives in a mansion. and he has a batmobile. XD

batman and robin are trying to catch the four evil dudes The Penguin, The Joker, The Riddler, and Catwoman. but Catwoman disgiuses herself as Miss Kitka a Russian journalist and makes Batman fall for her. then the evil dudes capture the united worlds security council. and then batman and robin save them
yeah i cannot believe i just wrote that XD
That's pretty good, did u make it up?

I HAVE AN IDEA
You can get a bunch of your ideas for what happens and arrange them. Maybe try mixing them up like in scrabble, and see if inspiration strikes!
okay, so I'm totally past my writers block now, I've finished my book, I am so happy I want to cry!!
Well, on Microsoft Word, it's um . . . 171.
Sheesh, mine's not double spaced, and it's at 12 for the size, I even had to make the margin wider. It was so long.

I fooled around with font changes and stuff, and very few of them shorten your story. If you start off writing in Times New Roman, that is.
What font do you use? I really enjoy writing in Times New Roman, but sometimes I'd like to change up.
Usually when I start a story, I write in times new roman. If I finish the story or i'm pretty far, I sometimes like to change the font to a nice one...which font i use, that depends on the story...i feel like each of my stories has a different "tone" that will fit different fonts. So i wouldn't use the same font for two of my stories (if i decide to change it from times new roman.)

I like Arial.
But I haven't really given any thought into font type.

Funny, I should probably think about the font stuff.

Lol...yeah, I'll just give you some examples...for my story Outcast, it has a sort of fancy feel to it, for some reason...so I use a font called "sylfaen" which is sort of elegant. then, for my finished story The Morte, it's a creepy/scary ghost/horror story, so I use a font that's sort of unnerving, "traditional arabic." Then for my story "happily ever after," it's a parody of fairy tales, so I use a curly font that seems to flow at the same time looks a bit playful- "georgia."
