My class had to make a report of making your own fiction story. I seemed interested, because I like to live in my own world. I got on the computer and typed away. All when well, and I got to about 50 Pages. Everyone looked at me, shocked. Yeah yeah, I like to write. I told everyone that it was interesting so they sat on their chairs as my teacher read my story out-loud. The class actually seemed interested in the story. After, the whole class had to write suggestions and compliments. Everyone loved my story, so I thought: "Why not make a second book?" And so I did.

I have went on writing the story, and it all went well. So I am giving the class forums a sneak peak of it.

SNEAK PEAK: Chapter 1: Gazing at the stars

 The moon shined the meadows as Kobe walked past the Hill gate. The trees have left him good company as he walked. The grass was wet, and it made noise when Kobe made every step. Kobe looked around, and then looked at the sky. The stars were calm. They stood perfectly still, and it felt as the world was frozen; and Kobe was enjoying it. That was, until one of the stars shined brighter than the others.
  "That's strange..." Kobe said a little shocked. Just then, it appeared as if the star grew, but it wasn't. The star was falling at him! Kobe ran with all his might. He jumped over the Hill gate, but his hand got a bit cut from the sharp metal. Kobe looked back, and the star was bigger. Kobe got his hand a bit more dry and continued running for his life. Asteroids started to fall as the star crashed down. The star seemed to break the Rentaria asteroid-belt! The asteroids crashed down to the grass, making deep holes and fire blowing out of the dirt. Kobe continued running as the star kept falling down at him.
  Kobe kept gasping for air as his throat got dry from running. His legs started to ache from running, but he kept going. More asteroids fell as Kobe kept running. Soon after, he arrived at Drudioth. The villagers looked at him, then looked at the star. They all got shocked and tried their best to protect their children. Kobe was soon near the blacksmith. The owner that ran the shop was Zeus. Kobe told him what was going on and he tossed Kobe a bronze long sword and Kobe ran off. The star was much bigger and closer than before. An asteroid fell for him, but Kobe sprinted and rolled to the side. The asteroid burned deep in the ground, and the whole place shook. Kobe tried his best to stand his ground, and he did. He continued running until he reached the Forest of Wishes.
  The mist around covered and Kobe could barely see. The star turned blue and crashed into the ground, sending a wave of dirt around the area. Kobe fell to his back and got knocked out.
 
   Five minutes have passed till the run, and the star stood there smashed into the ground. The star shined and white smoke escaped the heat of the fire. Kobe continued looking, until a floating-shadowy figure flew out of the star and looked at the area as if it was new to it. Then he looked at Kobe in a dark gaze.


So that is a peak of what will be in the story. Hope you enjoyed it and I will be making it into a book. Possibly real-life, that is, if I have the greens.

Nu first toast for U!
No second, no third, no ever...

Hey guys, I feel alone here.

Quiet the bit of grammar errors after reading just the first paragraph and a couple more sentences. "The trees have left him good company." doesn't really make sense and seems useless, and irrelevant.

As I was reading, I couldn't help but keep putting the in front of Kobe, because Kobe seems more like a race than a name.

Yeah, I'm still drafting though. I will try to fix them all before I print it out.

I don't think people will find it as a race. My classroom already knows that Kobe is a character.

Grammar is the main problem. Also, you seem to be rushing through the events without any details or anything. They aren't really needed, but they can enrich the imagery of a story, and immerse the reader into your tale. You need some work, but you can probably pull off a decent short story.

All I'm hoping is that you improve (grammar wise) and have a useful, intelligent moral. If it's just some shoot 'em up story with no real point, I'm going to hate it. Just sayin'.

Also, you should probably abandon any hope of publishing this.

And why? I'm publishing this for my school. Not for the whole world or the forums. I'm just showing everyone what I got so far. And this is my draft, and I will try to fix the errors when I come around to edit and revise.

If your not going to show the forums the finished version why are you posting it here?

Dippindots, will you stop being a jerk?

Where am I being a jerk? I'm just giving him constructive criticism.

Seriously. If he ever tries to get this published he will be kicked out of the publishers office. This is not by any standards quality work.  I'm not trying to be overly rude, but if that's how you interpret it then too bad.

I'm just saying, but you only have one character, so you don't need to keep calling him by his name, just use "he" or "his".

Mixing up the name with pronouns is better, spices up the story a bit.
