Are you like writing a story. Or a poem. Or what?

HammiBee I've read a few "classics". Though I'm not much for them. I never got past the first chapter for The Giver.....
I love your story idea by the way, The Thirteenth World. Let me know if I can be of any help! I've got a couple of projects in the works now too, so maybe we could compare? Your story sounds very science-fiction, which I'd be interested to hear more about. I'm more of a fantasy writer, myself. But I've read a few sci-fi books... whee

Never read The Giver. I'm pretty sure some people in my grade read it last year, but i read Fahrenheit 451 instead, and god am I happy I did. -idolizes Ray Bradbury-
@emily: wow. how incredibly silly those people are. tsk.
that's absolutely crazy. xD its the same way with me! my mom had a friend who had a daughter named... -insert my name- so she named me that too. xD -doesn't divulge name because she thinks its weird- o:

That would be cool. We should compare sometime! Though I don't write until I got all the kinks I can find out of the system.

@hammi: i do pretty much the opposite. ><
mainly because that's the advice that Bradbury gives in his book Zen and the Art of Writing. >>

-continues to idolize-
xDD
now if only Billy Collins would make something like that. -w-

I have a lot of favorites. But a few of mine are:
Stephenie Meyer, P.C Cast, Richelle Mead, J.K Rowling, Susan Wiggs, L.J Smith, Ellen Schreiber, Scott Westerfeld, and Rachel Caine. I have many more and even more favorite books. smile

hollyannabar Neon~Starshine Orson Scott Card, hands down.
Could you reccomend a book?Ender's Game. Or Shadow of the Giant. Its the same timeline from two different perspectives. Both books made me cry, which is really a big deal. Everything else I've read that he's written came as a sore disappointment because those two were so mind-blowingly fantastic.

he came to the LA Book Fair this year. that was at the time i was reading Fahrenheit 451, so i had no interest back then. this would be when a time machine could really come in handy. ;o;

Shadow of the Giant is more commonly known as Ender's Shadow though.
