The Writing Elite discussion

I'd like everyone to get to know each other, even though many of us already do.

I'll start.

I'm Annabelle! Lately, I read Guardian of the Gate by Michelle Zink, which you should all read. Anyway, I decided that I really love the character she introduces, Dimitri Markov. So I took his last name. ((:

You can call me Belle, Bella, Annie, or Anna. I don't like being called Anne, though.

That is all!! Hello!!

Hi there Annabelle! I'm Joyce btw and I'm from the Philippines..

uhhhm I love Adrian from the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead ergo my user name

I love all Rick Riordan's book too hence the user pic..

So yeah hi everyone!

Hullo! I'm Carina :D I've been wanting to read Guardian of the Gate for sooo long. Now I can't wait!

I recently read Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder. It was a really good book and I highly recommend it. I'm also currently reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen and The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum.

This group already looks like it's gonna be awesome, Annabelle! :D

Heyyy im Noa :) Iv been writing since the 2nd grade and currently Im trying to finish and publish a novel im writing. I LOOOOVE the book Pint the Wind and the Fire Within Series.... This looks cool! :D

Hey, I'm Kiersten (:

I just finished Blue Bloods and Masquerade. They were both pretty good. Umm I'm in love with guys from my own novel (: Zarcentyl and Sivvion. I'm eight chapters in, and discussing it with a fellow young adult author!! I bet this group is gonna be great! ^-^

Hi, I'm Katie. I guess I've been writing for awhile now. I don't know a specific date or time period, it just... happened? I'm working on more than a few ideas right now, so I may or may not be chatting often. I can't wait to see where this goes!

BONJOUR! I'm Ariel. I love to read and write, er... I L-O-V-E The Book Thief, A thousand Splendid Suns, and If i should die before i wake. Anyone planning to do a lot of writing over vacation?

Heyy, I'm Lou, short for Louise but don't ever call me that. >:/ Books that I love, well that's as challenge. I love Inkheart by Cornelia Funke, Fried Green Tomatoes by Fannie Flag and anything by Kurt Vonnegut. But the big book/short stories. . .SHERLOCK HOLMES!

I'm working on a comic book series and then I have a short story called Never Let Me Go. Someday, I would like to write a kid's novel about either talking cats or mice. Don't ask.

((I love editing XXD))

Hi! I'm Elizabeth, and I love to read and write. My favorite books in the whole wide world is the Hunger Games series. But I also like Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Artemis Fowl, and pretty much any fantasy or sci fiction books.

I love to write and have finished my first novel called, Being Happy Takes Practice. See you guys around!

Hi! My name is Jen and I like to write poetry (most of u kno that) ummm... yeah thats basically it about me:P oh my poetry book is Collection of a Broken Heart so check it out plz!!!

Hi! My name's Oumaima and I love to read and write. I recently read the hunger games and I'm reading
The Last Sacrifice Vampire Academy! I also like to write so please check out my writing! =D

Hey! I'm Amaranta and I usually write fantasy. I'm currently writing multiple works, but my two main ones are a novel I'm calling Daydreamer and another novel I'm writing with a good friend of mine here, Kelsie, called The Secret Diary Of Emily Carlton. I just finished reading Virals by Kathy Reichs and I think it was amazing and just as good as Mockingjay(which is my favorite book of all time). It is definately worth a read if you get the chance.

Oh, also, you can call me, A, Am, Ama, Amara, AM-Hammer, or pretty much anything else you can come up with. I'm not too picky about nicknames.

Haii people that I don't know which is everyone but Amaranta, Kiersten, and Kelsie :)

I have many nicknames; Brit, Brittin, Lady Brit (don't ask) and Skittles...haha :)

I write mainly a sci-fi/fantasy thing with Kiersten :) All and any criticism is appreciated :)

Hello and welcome:)

BTW Ariel is a pretty awesome name. XD

And I'm going to do a lot of writing over break. I have this new idea that I'm trying to test out. Actually, I'm thinking I might post what I have in my thread, see what you guys think? Maybe? No? We shall see.

Anybody else writing over break?

And welcome to all other new people. Woot!

Hello, everyone!! I'm so glad to have all of you!!

I know :) I feel so honored haha ^^

heyy im alaina.

Hi Alaina!

Welcome every new comer! Happy writing!

Thanks Lou! And hello new repliers! Im plannig to do some writing to over break! so wish me luck and i wish all the other writers luck and an overproductive stream of words!

And question for you all:


Okay i have this new idea and i'm trying to decide between the two titles i've come up with. Heres a some-what summary:

Theres the girl (whose name i havent decided) whose father is one of the souths most notorious plantation owners. He buys more slaves and his daughter (the girl) falls in love with one. Eventually her parents find out about it and kills the slave. She goes on a rampage. She plots to kill the ten most notorious slave owners of the south, including her father.

If you dont like either of those titles feel free to suggest some in a comment :)

Here are the titles:
1. Black, White, and Shades of Grey
2. The Slave Owner's Daughter

yeah, thats sounds really good xD

Hi, I'm Chantal (obviously) and I read and write as much as I can. I had a go at nanowrimo this year and am currently doing an Open University writing course. I mainly read Urban Fantasy as that is what I want to write, but I read other stuff too.
Anyway it is so nice to find a writing section on here and I look forward to reading/writing and chatting with you :)

Do you mean it is hard to take or you don't get any criticism?

I see, that is frustrating. I promise to have a look tomorrow and give you feedback if you have any on here.

Cool - sounds good, I'll take a peek but I don't know if I'll be able to offer any words of wisdom:) but I can offer my opinion.

Hello, Andrew and Chantal!

Hello.

My name is Holly, but I typically go by HR, which are my first and middle intials. I have been writing since I was eleven and enjoy reading as well. When I read someone else's work, I attempt to be honest with my criticism, offering both what is good about the work and what needs improvement. Sometimes I don't find anything; other times, I do.

I recently finished two romantic/suspense books, one by Carla Neggers; the other by Judith McNaught. I am currently reading three books as sort of a challenge to myself while I'm away from work for the holidays (until Jan. 4th).

I posted the first chapter of "The Absence of Falling Stars" today, and am a relatively new member to this site.

Hello, all.

hey! my name is megamarie....18 yrs old...i love reading a lot.and goodreads provided me with great stories. i'm not really good at writing but i can suggest good cool plots and story twists...i love leaving comments to stories i've read and i love to befriend writers that i like...

i wish i really belong to this group...
and glad to meet you all...

Hello and welcome to all of the newcomers! I can't wait to read what you have written and offer you any help you need!

Hey everyone,
My name is Ashley. I am 20 years old. I am in college majoring in criminal justice. I would like to become a prosecutor. I love to read, write, and I have always loved to. I mostly like to read YA in which I am currently reading "L.A. Candy" by Lauren Conrad. I am also currently writing my own book too. One is about cutting and the other is about domestic violence. When I was a sophomore in high school, my English teacher assigned the class to write a book about an issue that faces teens today. I chose cutting because I am a survivor myself and also because, I can write about how it starts, what goes on in the person's head, and I can write about this maturely, even my teacher said that I did. My book received an A and now I am rewriting it and adding more to it.

My advice to anyone who wants to write, let your mind wonder first on what you want to write, it can be about anything. Explore everything.

cool!

Hey I'm new and I recently started a story that I've started posting on here and I hope some of you can read it :) It's called Beloved Undead.

Thanks!!

WELCOME T-ROSE! and TOLE:) Happy New Year too all! Hi to anyone i didnt say it too already!

Welcome, everyone! I'm looking forward to reading all of your writing!! :DD

Hi, I'm Josh. Grammar & punctuation are my dawgs. In the recent past, I was a copy editor for three years, so I can copy edit ya'll's stuff when I get around to it or on request.

I'm a semanticist, and I won't hesitate to explain the difference between what was written and what I believe was meant to be written -- It's a gift and a curse.

My motto in my writing is if my text doesn't have subtext, than neither do I, so my work can be a bit chewy at times. But I don't plan to post anything on this forum until I've paid some dues and written some criticisms for ya'll.

K.THNX.BYE

WELCOME JOSH! Glad to have another member willing to help others with their work. I can't wait to read some of your writing:)

Nice to meet you, Josh! I'm looking forward to reading your writing. I'm sure it's awesome. :DDD

Hi, I'm Carlin. I've been writing for about seven or eight years, mostly dabbling in fan fiction, and here and there with some original fiction. :) I've got a lot of things I'd like constructive criticism on, including characters and unfinished story plots. :)

Glad to have you, Carlin. I'd love to check out anything you're working on. (:
