Reading and Writing

[Orreed]

My dream is to write my novels, for them to be successful, and then to write a script to turn them into movies. I also want to act in the movies I write.

That's an awesome dream, good luck!

I actually like to write kids stories, and I draw too. I wrote three Monsters with Pants books. I have also been working on a mlp:fim fanfic. I have tried to write some novels, but the ideas just seemed lame to me after a while.

This thread inspired me to write more stuff.

Yay! All the encouragement and fellow writers are inspiring me to write more too. When I'm tempted to scratch my plans, I get encouraged by thinking back to this thread.

That's an awesome dream, good luck!

Thanks!

Does anyone else ever start writing something and then just stop? Or have different versions of pretty much the same story? Whenever I'm unhappy qith a story, I start from scratch. I've made a 1.0 and 1.1 versions for one of my stories, and the furthest I got is 5.5 pages, in 1.1. The one I'm writing right now, my favorite, I believe is the 1.2 for a story, even though it's only 2/3 of a page.

I think it's funny with my versions, it's like App Store updates. I have three completely different stories going, oh no I just dug up a fourth.

I do that. A lot.

Oh thank goodness, I thought I was the only writer in the world who just stopped writing because I ran out of ideas. I once tried to do a different version of the same story.

Yeah, I do that. For one story, I was fourteen chapters into it, but then one day I read it, and I thought, "Gosh, this is bad." So I've restarted it, though I kept one part.

Welcome to my world I can develop characters all right, but when it comes to the storyline I always end up bagging it.

 

[poohbear89]

I had to read The Book Thief for eighth grade! So not revealing anything!

yeah I have to read three out of five books and that's one of them. How'd did you like it?


favorite Book: The Breadwinner, Divergent, and the Giver series
what I like to write: personal narratives
favorite authors: Deborah Ellis and Louis Lowry

 

[mickey'sbff]

My all time favorite book is probably The Book Thief (UGH IT IS SO GOOD). I also liked Divergent (I didn't really like Insurgent though), The Fault In Our Stars, The Great Gatsby, The Giver, My Sister's Keeper, cliche stuff. Shh I also read a lot of Disney guide books

I don't write as much as I used to but I have characters and plots that I really don't do much with cause I have writer's block basically all the time. I actually have a pretty good idea for a story (At least what I think is a pretty good idea), but it's really depressing so I don't know if I'll bring myself to write it.

I don't really have a favorite author considering I just kind of read random books by a bunch of different authors. I used to like Lauren Myracle when I was like 10 and 11 (even though a lot of her books were probably over my head at that point) but not really anymore.

Once I start talking about books I can't shut up!

I struggle with that all the time. My current goal is to actually go straight through a story/novel. I have several journals full of stories that have one to sixty pages started and then I stopped to start over or work on another idea.

This pretty much describes what I always do.

 

[expeditioneverestgrl]

That's me too...and I only have one story out of probably 20 I wrote that I truly love!

 

[abbyreads]

1.Favorite book: Harry Potter, Les Miserables, Atlas Shrugged, The Fault in Our Stars, the list continues....
2.I like to write: Angry letters, passive-aggressive notes, fanfiction
3.My fave genres and authors: I'm pretty open genre-wise. Meg Cabot's books can get addicting--I pick up a Princess Diaries or All-American book and can't stop! And I honestly believe John Green is the best, and truest, YA writer at the moment.

Sidebar, does anyone on here read/write fanfiction? It's a great hobby and it really allows you to experiment with your writing and get it out in front of a critical audience. My user on ff.net is the same as mine here(http://www.fanfiction.net/~abbyreads); mainly Harry Potter fics. I'd love to check out someone else's Potter/other fandom fics. I do weird ships (Katie Bell and Oliver Wood are pretty much my OTP. I know it's out there.) but it's a lot of fun! I think going with the minor characters allows greater creativity.
