The Author's Corner

[Barely Tolerated]

I don't listen to anything specific. I just usually make sure I have some sort of noise going on.
I find writing in public, with the only noise really being people chatting and what not (great local cafe/ice cream parlour) to be the best.

i'm the same way. when people talk, it gives me ideas about what to write.
if they're talking about break-ups i'll write a sad story. (once, while my cousin was on the phone going back and forth at her boyfriend and crying and yelling, i typed every word down on my cell phone and eventually typed it on the computer. sounds kind of mean, i know, but it was so... intense, i guess you could say.)
just the random chatter of people gets my thoughts going.
i need to put something on here to show you all.

They don't typically give me "ideas". I just like human nature and connection being around me as I write. Just as long as there isn't attention being put on me. Writing with someone reading over your shoulder is always a little unnerving. To me at least.

I feel the same. Even ff I have someone reading a finished rough draft, I get kinda jumpy.

unnerving? don't you mean extremely nerving? (if that's a word.)
when people read anything i write, or if they read it while i'm writing, everything is like fld;s'akgldf;'gjkadl.
i'm afraid they'll tell me i misspelled something and i forgot to put a comma somewhere. critisizm helps a shitload, but i'm always scared of it.

Nope :

Entry Word: unnerving
Function: adjective
Meaning: marked by or causing agitation or uncomfortable feelings <quite an unnerving storm for youngsters just learning to sail>

Hm. Sounds like an oxymoron to me. |:

Hello everyone~

Basically I'm in the middle of two main stories that I'm writing. There is Lycoris and The Levin Files. There there is an offspin of Lycoris basically called nothing at the moment because I don't have a name for it.

Lycoris is about a boy named Einly who find a whole other dimension out there right through his closet after a strange dream with a trip to the hospital after said dream. He gains friends and enemies and discoverers that not only is the world of Twilight in danger but so is his own world. This is written in a traditional book like style.

The Levin Files is about a 19 year old named Dresden who suffers from Schizophrenia and her family. A 6 year old brother named Charlie with Autism who is particularly clingy to her, the 16 year old twins Dan and Jen were Jen has a very mild form of ADHD and Dan with Bipolar disorder, then the 23 year old brother Sydney who has depression. They have no parents and about the age of 18, Sydney adopted all of his siblings as his own and has taken care of them since their parent's death. Dresden helps out with what she can but since she is in and out of an Asylum most of the time it gets hard for her to be there when she really wants to be. Syd and Jen work to help pay of the bills and Dan mainly stays at home after school to take care of Charlie which he doesn't like to do all the time because he is at the age of wanting to hang out with his firends. This is written in more or less a diary type of style.

The spinoff of Lycoris is basically short stories about the random happenings that happen to Einly while in school or something like that. There is one short story where his friend Walter sets of the sprinklers in their mathroom to find out that is't so cold that it's snowing from the sprinklers.

Basically I get inspired by music and the random ideas I get just by hanging out with people.

This almost sounds like you took 'The Chronicles of Narnia' and punched it in the face.

...Or kicked it in the nads.

To be honest I didn't even mean for it to sound that way. They only book I've actually read from the series was "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe" when I was in the 3rd grade. The whole closet idea actually came from the fact that when I was upset as a very little kid I'd go in my closet and relax and just pretend that I was somewhere else. Plus it isn't like it works sometimes and doesn't other times. It always works and anyone can get in and get through if he doesn't keep it locked.

Hi people. I've come on this thread a few times and reported that I was writing some stories (I think I'm up to two so far lol) well, one of them never happened, and one of them I've actually started writing.
I recently had another idea for a story, but I need some opinions. Does this sound too Twilight-esque?

Here's the basic plot:
I haven't named the story yet, but it's about a 17 year old girl named Angela who is doing volunteer work helping out with small odd jobs at a juvenile detention facility. She's planning on majoring in child pschycology so she decided to volunteer so she can get a feel of the environment. She notices one of the inmates staring at her one day, and she finds herself greatly attracted to him. His name's Joel, btw. He's also 17. Anyway, she tries to get to know him and stuff, and thinks that she can help him with his problems. He's very bitter though and tells her she can't do anything to help him.
Of course, there are reasons he doesn't want her around him, but it's not because he's a vampire or any mythical creature or crap like that. I'm going for realistic fiction here lol.

So what do you think, too Twilighty? After Angela finds out what Joel's issues are and she gets sucked into the whole thing it's not twilight-ish at all, but does the beginning sound too much like it? (I haven't started writing this yet, I'm still throwing ideas around and i don't want this to sound like a twilight spin off o.O)

Well, if I were you, I'd play up on the psychological aspect as much as possible. That is, after all, the source of the conflict. I'm not saying you should go all "Monster" with it, but it's important all the same. Your female character already sounds better than what's-her-name (I honestly don't know, fangirls only talk about Cullen, duh).

Overall, it's a good concept. Play up on it's strengths and it should turn out pretty good!
