Author Topic: Writin' a book  (Read 5445 times)





I understand us people could be stereotypical sometimes, but what if he has some potential of making a book.  Even if it was some sort of copy, the characters could set a different goal through out the whole story.  It could fail or it could be some form of success.  Lets see his progress.  If he will make any :P

Nvm hes offline.  He doesn't give a forget about it if he makes a topic about it and logs off five minutes after it.

I'm almost never logged off. If I'm on my computer, the forums are open.

Here's all the detail and things I would change/add...

Basically, it's about some mutants who were created by an obscure but huge corporation and go battle the evil head of the corporation.boring, i know, but it gets better

Characters:

Silversword Sylthian? (Silversword aint really a good name, I mean it really isnt a name at all. And if you used it as a name its kinda original. If you want, probobly use this as a nickname):

main character "One of the main character's (I always think never have just 1 main main, character, have 2 or three... It makes the writing better"

can manipulate energy You probobly want to spend more detail on this such as, Can he create items out of energy? Can he teleport with it? Or does he is it as a weapon?

+ You might want to right out some stuff about his personality, Like is he the quiet serious type or is he one of those people who doesnt things through and jumps into the middle of the battle?
+His looks... Is he tall? If so you might want to do that if he was a fighter... If he was short but you said he was a great warrior... eh... Make the looks fit the personality....

Angel(Is that his/her name?): wings, nuff' said NU! Not enough said! >:(
If you want tips for writing plan people out with alot more detail! You need to decide weather is he the crazy funny flyining guy or is he the smart mysterious one?

Cyborg(Is that his/her name?): can create machines from his body
Personality? Looks? Type? Etc...

Pilot(Is that his/her name?): gifted with vehicle sense

Evil CEO(Is that his/her name?): need name, can manipulate shadow

can manipulate shadow You probobly want to spend more detail on this such as, Can he create items out of shadow? Can he teleport with it? Or does he is it as a weapon?


If you want to do a good job you need to be committed and plan out the characters and before you write the book have a basic idea on how its going to end, that way you don't just ramble on.
While writing add on to the characters, dont have them be the same person the reader thought they were , have some suprises and secrets ;)

Also you have to be dedicated you can just write a paragraph a week, if you do it that way YOU wont get into the book and you will never finish and
fail miserably, and get flamed for what a bad job you did.

I hope this helps :)

Maximum Ride was already written.

@Rok
Trust me, it sounds exactly like Maximum Ride

edit: Something I noticed here. When one or two people start a thread, aka Me and Caution wanting to write or those livestream things, every god damn person on this forum instantly flocks into the same idea.

Do something original dammit.
It's not like writing is an original idea lol

maximum ride
Some of the inspiration came from that, but it came to me in a dream

But you can't practice on a plot of a book that has already been written. For all we know, he could be typing the first chapter right now, word for word. His profile says he is 10. When I was a little kid every time I saw or read something neat it always inspired me to make something that was exactly like it.

The plot is not the same

[/sarcasm]Wow, thats great [/sarcasm]

heres the first two paragraphs of a story I recently started writing *doing 2 paragraphs every now and again*
                                                                                The Haunt
I awoke confused. I wasn't in my warm bed at home, I was in a dark room barely lit by a flickering candle. There was no fire to keep me warm, no company to keep me calm...It was just me...Not a single window in sight on the walls... I heard footsteps and panicked, there was nowhere to hide! In the closet? No, it'll find me...Under the bed? No way! Thats too obvious! The footsteps got closer and closer, time was ticking away, second by second. As i checked again the door started to get unlocked..I thought it was over. But then i saw it! A loose panel of floor! I quickly moved the panel and crawled under into it. The door opened just as i put the panel back into its place...Did he see it?Is it over?

It was silent as I scarcely breathed in worry it would hear me. This...creature...had three eyes with one leg and two and a half arms. It crawled across the floor, when i saw its face i couldn't bare to look. The filth, it dripped of slime and was demented. It had a scar from the bottom to the top on its face. It bled continuously a purple liquid, I laughed in my head when i thought of it being purple but it didn't last long. The creature was tearing up panels of the floor! My blood rushed, my mind exploding and my eyes couldn't keep focused on it! Then it went silent. All i saw was dark. No sign of it. I couldn't see myself. Then it hit me. A blinding light was all i saw for the next couple of minutes. Everything looked fuzzy, I couldn't even work out where my hands or legs were. Then i realized where i was...

I awoke confused

 That's a very good start to a story.
