Will you ever write a book ?

I don't think so but who knows ...

What about you ?

hmm, I think it's a total no for me. but even though I say no, I actually had written a book. a short novel as the last assignment of my language class on junior high school. but it's not great at all. ^^"

I would totally love to. I've started several stories... but only got to around two chapters for most of them. I would love to finish them someday... but... I am horrible when it comes to actually thinking of a ending for a story.

I'd love to too. What kind of book would you write? :cyclops:

if it were me, then.. a fiction book, I think. a story about a journey which involves magic, romance, and comedy, haha~ XD

me too ! :face: xixixixi.. what kind of personality will you give to your main character?

personality, hmm~ this is the most troublesome part for me. I'm not very good at designing characters and plot. XD maybe, make her a bit dumb. dumb as is in not very sensitive, you see. but has a strong heart and determination. a little introvert maybe, but can be friendly once you know him/her close. how about you?

i'd write a drama-fantasy story x3

Write a book? I've thought about it. But i'm clueless how to publish it and such.

If i will write a book, it will be a fiction book, where greek mythologies come alive XD hehehe

you really love Percy, don't you?

i love the book not him XD hahaha =)) Greek Mythology is like awesome but still i Believe in God!

ouch, of course. ^^" and yep, it's true. the myth is super awesome, but God is still number one. XD

yeah! and there will be no number 2 or anything number just 1 ^_^ XD

I will never, ever write a book, I'm too suck at it :<

One of my future plans, yay!

Probably. I'm thinking of writing a book about my imaginative islands.

haha, that's cool. good luck with it, and if you don't mind, share it with us here! :P

Sure! Here's a little teaser/background. xD

whoa, awesome. you draw the maps, even you'll make the letters! will you make a new language as well, like Hymmnos? XD

Yes. In fact, I made the Enidoukan language before I knew Hymmnos and Akiko-san. It's a little bit based from Japanese language, with a mix of other Asian languages. Ravanian on the other hand is a European-like languages slightly similar to Russian and German.

Currently, I'm developing the dictionary and entering words on the database. xD

*silence* ...you are so amazing! you also have classes, right? how can you manage through it all? when did you start this project, anyway?

Quite a long time ago. Probably high school. Because I lack Japanese vocabulary, I kind of created my own language, which is Enidoukan. And now that I found Akiko-san, I am more determined to finish it!

About the project management, I'm in college now, so I have lots of time (despite having thesis and stuff). But when thesis is over then off to start projects again! xD

@____@

*bows*

I wish you the best of luck out there! it's just so awesome. maybe you can teach us the languages later! I so wanna know how to speak Hymmnos as well, but I just can't self-teach myself, too lazy~ ^^"

Sure, of course! If you understand a little bit of Japanese, then Enidoukan is pretty easy. xD

I also want to learn Hymmnos. But one thing is, Hymmnos has limited words. But when the words are arranged to form a song, it's heavenly.

You wrote a book ?

Can I ask for some advice ? I'm actually writing a novel right now.

I've done almost everything like character desigining, storyline, plots, settings, I've finished gathering all the data I need.

What do you think I need to get to actually get the novel starting ?

I would write an anthology. I think it's better to do some shorts first before debuting with a novel (leave that to FF.net, lolwut)

I'm not sure at what you mean by start, but I'll try to provide for both:

1) plot-related: start dynamically, no cliche lines and such.
2) manuscript related: here's my method, hoping that it could help in a way: I type in Word, then print by chapter. Then I read, and stick notes to the paper with post-its. A monospace font and double spacing makes it easier to proofread.

Well, sometimes I contribute short stories to the local newspaper (though mostly ended up being trashed...)

Anyways, a monospace font and double spacing with Word ? I see, that'll make the manuscript more clean and readable. I always manually wrote all my stories, but I guess this'll be too big for handwriting, huh ? Thanks

Well, I haven't written a book yet, but I have written a bunch of short original stories. The first thing I do is organize the characters and the plot, and plan for spoilers ahead (to make the story more interesting). Well I want to write a novel someday though.

Hmm... it's not an impossibility I'd say. But it'll be a sciency textbook sort of books if anything (scientific writing is the only writing that I do these days).

In fact i wrote a book
Called "Hunters and Pray", but it was just a school work, i mixed along various animes in it, like hellsing, fma and chrno crusade.
My teacher not even suspected

Some times i wish to try to write something serious... but oh, i have too much sloth for this, hehe

I'm working on one. Untitled as of yet, but I found the inspirations from Akiko's Hymmnos, Salyu, Chihiro Onitsuka and Yousei Teikoku.

It's about a small island kingdom that faced a fate to be completely destroyed in a few years time. It all focused on the decisions and sacrifices the Princess must make to ensure everything is not lost.

wow, I have great members here! *very happy*
it'd be great if one day you guys can share your works here. ^^

Yep.
My avatar is one of the characters
It will be 5 history in 5 books XD
Each one in a different time (Some of them are 100 years after the other)

lol I don't know about that. It's a pretty messy rough draft for now. I procrastinate a lot. But who knows, maybe I will do so some time soon. I need a building feedback to know if I'm ever a wannabe writer I hoped to be.

Oh yeah,felling that it is all a draft is common with me too.

But to speak the truth,the history is more pleasant when it is just a draft that you can change,when it get complete you lose it ;-;

If I were to publish my work(s), would someone read and review it for me?

I'm currently working on mine too I think writing is an art that requires passion and patience~ the process may be torturous, but once something is out, there'll be a sense of accomplishment.

@Artesox~
Ahh~ I'm really interested in the '5 history' you're writing! Somehow, the era switch reminds me of 'time travelling' XD

@LavenderYuki
I'm sure many people will help to review your work! At least, I can probably help by reading it

lol well maybe I would share them here. soon. maybe. I'm so embarrassed to show anyone my twisted mind at works.

I would love to know more about your stories all.

I'd like to publish my story but... there are so many details and characters I think it would be impossible to write a book from it. ;_; Maybe it would be best as a game... In fact I wanted to do a game of it with RPG Maker for a while.

I feel the same.

XD

I used to thought that way too : <
But after showing to some friends you get used (What don't mean that our minds are less twisted )

Anyway...

I'd like to publish my story but... there are so many details and characters I think it would be impossible to write a book from it. ;_; Maybe it would be best as a game... In fact I wanted to do a game of it with RPG

XD,another thing that I used to say to myself...At first I used to say that...But really,is easier to write about the things...

XD...I think that our generation of writers have the same dilemmas all around the world

So I finally decided to publish my writing online. so far it's only available on my LJ though. the intro's up. feel free to check it out.

Intro post and characters profile @ my LJ

AMAZING ^^

thanks for sharing it LavenderYuki, I'm anxious to see the whole history *-*

And I've posted a couple of chapters. feel free to read and criticize. I need the feedback.

Will I ever write a book? Maybe yes, maybe no.
I don't think I have the creative mind to write any story...
I tried to write something few years back, but I never manage to continue it... I'm a bit of perfectionist so every time i think the story is not good, I stop writing right away.. ^^"
I prefer to be an editor who reads because well, I love reading more than writing but after seeing that there are a lot of my friends who write stories, I'm encouraged to continue what I left off. Let's see it later if i manage to do that. ^^
