Writing Article: A Hidden Secret Chapter 1

posted by DxCFan123

"Someone! Help Me! I'm Being Chased By A Vampire!"I yelled. "THAT'S NOT GONNA HELP!!!!" Yelled a vampire. The vampire, Andrew Gonzales had been tracking me down for a long time. I'm Samantha Fitzpatrick by the way. I'm 14, its 1510 right now. But I can't talk now! He's catching up!

"HELP ME!!!!!" I yelled again. I looked over my shoulder and when I looked back, I trippped on a rock and fell. I tried to get up but I hurt my ankle. Probally sprained. "Help!" I screamed. I felt a sharp pain in my neck. "Mamma! Mamma! Ma-". Everything went black.

"Mamma!" I screamed. I sat up. Where was I? Everything was grey and hazy, like fog. "Hello?" My voice echoed. I was as cold as death. Death... DEATH! I was dead. But where was I? The white light of death? I felt my neck. Bite marks. I got off of the wierd coffin like thing I was sitting on. Wait-- COFFIN! I swerved around to see it disappeared. Everything felt wierd.

"Hello?" What year was it? Where was I? Am I alone? I walked some more to see my dress was covered in blood. And holes. Holes everywhere. I started to run. I didn't know where I was, but that had to be the way out. Then I fell. Into a hole. Of some sort. Then I landed. I almost felt like I fell onto millions of spikes. I rolled over on my back. Where was I?

Alright, so I'm writing a story, and I want your opinions.

This is just an excerpt, so it might be kinda confusing, but still, let me know please!

"    She was surrounded, there was no way to go, no where to turn. Circling around, trying to formulate a plan, a stab of pain coursed through her veins, bringing her to her knees. Another shot brought her a face-full of colorful carpet. Someone from behind tied her hands together in some unknown bindings and pinned her thrashing body to the ground with the help of a few others.
    “Check her.”
    That voice… where Have I heard it before?
    One...

A true story

The last time

The day was gray and it was raining outside. There were hardly any people seen on the streets, but I ran, soaked by the rain, down the street. I walked toward a house, but went unnoticed on the opposite side of the street. I looked up to the building and reminded me again at that time, to events to which I recalled many years later. It is in this house he lived not too long ago. Whether we were just friends, or maybe even more than that, I still do not know. I called me back the memory of an evening that was not even long ago. We were in his room and he played me on the piano before...

My special halloween

posted by Theatre_Freak

Once upon a time there was a little place called the 13 colonies. In one of these colonies lived little old m,e Angelina, but there was something different. In my colony, everyone was the same; we all had animals grew crops and so on, but I was special. Originally, I lived in Paris, France with my mother and father. After my father died when I was just a baby, my mother noticed that I had a gift that only few had in our family. I was a Witch.
My mother feared for my safety and made a deal with her sister. Her sister was a specialist in the dark arts of magic. Mother didn't trust her, but she...

Mary Sue

posted by Anudie

Once upon a time, in a perfect world there stood a perfect pink castle guarded by a perfect number of perfect fluffy horses and surrounded by a perfect wall of perfect pink flowers.
In the perfect castle there lived a perfect, perfect girl with a perfect life. Her perfect name was perfect: Serenity Lianna Honeyblossom Sweetytreat Sparkle Cupcake Beauty Mary Sue.
She was always paid by authors to star in their books and act like the perfect dream girl; aka a Mary Sue. She lived in Storyland, where all the ideal characters lived until they were picked for a story and then dropped back in after....

Help? Ideas, anyone?

Hi! I was writing a novel a while back, but I got distracted. I have only written the first chapter. I feel as if I need better names for the characters. I believe I'm going to edit the first chapter a lot and bring in some other characters. For the main 2 characters I was thinking I would name them something foreign that has a meaning to do with love, to be a little cutesy. Also, title suggestions would help! If you choose to follow the link below the female character's description, let me know if you have any names for the 2 cheerleaders mentioned.

Edit: For 'Jo'/female I was looking up names...

Clichés: How To Embrace Them

posted by Cinders

Courtesy of the cartoonist, Clangnuts

Ah, the dreaded cliché! The worst feedback a writer can get is, "Well, it sounds sort of cliché, doesn't it?"

All authors want to be original. If someone even mentions that a writer's work reminds them of someone else's, the writer tenses up. "No, no, no, I'm nothing like him," he says swiftly. "I've never even read him."

"Yeah, but it's kinda like him," the reader persists, believing she is giving a compliment rather than an insult. "He's incredible, you should read him!"

The thing is-- it should be a compliment when a reader compares your work to...

Life is a Recipe

posted by EmzLovesCheryl

Life.

Life is what you make it, a recipe that could either end in disaster, or turn out great.

Some people get an advantage, they start off with better ingredients. But at the end of the day, the person that worked the hardest, gets the best result, no matter how they started.

Never think that you can't beat that person who has every ingredient ready-made, because they happen to have that start in life. If you are dedicated to what you do, then there's nothing to stop you getting to that same stage. Or above that stage. You just have to be determined, talented at what it is you want to do, and...

missing chapter four.

As the Bentley pulled into the huge garage jane smiled to herself gently. I felt Edward stiffen next to me.
"What is it?" I mouthed I felt my eyebrows pul together in mystification, as he shook his head it must have been bad then what she was thinking.
"Move it I don't have all day and neither do your family." She cackled like a witch on halloween.
I fought back a snarl- that was out of line and Jane seemed the type who would use your family against you in a fight.
"She was thinking about the tortures they had put Esme and Carlisle through. They let them get- you remember how thirsty you were before...

What i hate about you

posted by mars15

I hate when you walk away from me
because I'm always scared that you won't be come back
I hate every time i see you
because i always melt like ice scream on sun
I hate every time when I'm not seeing you
because i always think where are you
I hate that you're always in my head
because i can't think about anything else but you
I hate when you don't talk with me
because i always think that i did something wrong
I hate that i always try to impress you
but it's like you don't see that
I hate every time you touch me instinctively
because you always make me want to hold you,to kiss you
I hate every time you talk...

COLORS OF MY LIFE

posted by FalliNgSparks

Here I spread the colors of my life

They sound like a tune of fife

They always closed me in a dark room

I put on my headphones, enjoyed & played the boom

It's so boring to just see the sky

Today I decided I'll go and fly

Eveyones mind is full of depressions

But mine is full of imaginations

I changed the dark night into shining sequins

And the heap into beautiful fragrance

I don't want you to make my hair a mess

Cause I'm wearing the tiara to be a princess

My passion, my obsession, my desire

Don't interfere in between or I'll blow you up with flames of fire

how to write a book

posted by e2mma2weasle3

If You're Writing Fiction

1.Figure out what you want to write about or what type of book you want to write. For some people, ideas come naturally, but for others, it's a difficult step. If you’re having trouble, figure out what kind of books you like. Do you read a lot of Stephen King? Write a horror book. Have you been hooked on Eoin Colfer ever since the second grade? Write a story about elves and technology. If you try to write a book that you would enjoy reading, writing it will be more fun and easy.

2. Know the elements of a good novel.
