I'm up to about 10,000 words and I haven't written anything in a few days but that is going to change by next weekend. It's about a young boy from the 41st century who finds himself in 2008 with a group of mobsters in New York whilst on the hunt for his elusive father and it's so much like Torchwood its like a work of fanfiction  . Nope, I don't love that universe at all. |

| Yes, I've been working on it since the summer. It has 26,2446 words at the moment. So, I'm guessing it's going pretty good. It's about vampires...my specialty i guess you could say. YAY!!! |

Indeedy. I'm onto page 80 now and it's nameless - which, contrary to popular belief, is a good thing, as I won't be working it around it.
In short, it's a tale of a murderess and her accomplice, set in both the 1940s and 2008. I hate writing linear. |

I actually have a lot of novels started but I haven't finished them...yet. Right now I am fixed on finishing The Jane Effect which takes place in the 18th century and tells a tale of Elizabeth Greenly a girl who marries a man to bring honor to her family. To make a long story short, she falls in love, finds out deadly secrets and has to chose between love and life at the end of the story.
Parts 1-7 is posted already, right now its just introducing the characters and letting the reader get a feel for Elizabeth's life. It was inspired by Jane Austen, just to let you know.

I wrote a novel that is 52,000 words. The manuscript has been accepted for publication, but the only thing I'm having issues with is the fact that I just turned 17, and someone at least age 18 has to sign the contract, and I can't figure out if my mother is going to have to sign the book for me or what...
Getting published is much, much, much harder than actually writing the novel, IMO. |

Well, I'm writing Ellima still... I mean sort of. I stopped for a bit, when my laptop ate one of the chapters but now I'm beginning to edit it again. So, hopefull, one day I might actaully finish the third chapter!
I write random scenes sometimes or just work *cough cough* on character profiles or plot etc.
I need inspiration! |

I am happy to say YES! and I am well on my way with just below 60 000 words! Almost there guys!
Its about a girl with the *sight* very cliche except for the fact that it was a curse, passed down through generations of female line. Anyway turns out the sight is not all she has and it causes her alot of trouble when she finds out she is the twelfth in the line. Even more twisted when her ex boyfriend gets mixed up in it and she falls in love with someone who can never love her.

Romance

Named Escaping fate: Endless Secrets, chapter 1 is up in two parts if you want to check it out! |

I kinda sorta kinda am as of last night. It was my nano idea but i just couldn't hold it in and started last night. I just decided to do NaNo a month ahead of time and hopefully will be done in time.
Mostly, its about this girl, Marissa, who after living her life out in the same simple monotone, meets the boy of her dreams and his friends who are without a doubt, STRANGE. In the course of befriending the strange that she is forced to encounter her destiney and decide between the tempting course of freedom and the love she fears she will loose. Tradgic Romantic Adventure that I'm thinking of titling "We Are Strange".
sighs...probably will never finish....sighs |

Yup.
I can't say what it's about, cause I don't want people to copy.
And I'm not gonna post it here, for the same reason.  |

| I'm pretending to still be writing a fantasy novel that I abandoned a year ago and I'm currently actually writing a novel about a runaway child. It's in very early stages, though. |

I'm in the "kinda" zone right now. I have a bunch of novels planned out in my head but whenever I sit down to write nothing comes or if it does I don't find it good enough. For now, though, writing has kind of been on hold, my mind keeps going numb.
