    I'm not an author, but i'm majoring in english with a hope of writing these stories that i've got rattling around in my head. As with many others who've posted, I find that I can come up with a brilliant brainstorm of an idea, jot down a few details but never start or finish anything.

    so far the closest to completing anything bigger than a poem will be Destined, which I plan to wrap up in a few chapters and surprisingly will continue the story, so who knows?

    My footnote in history so far has been this:

    which I was told by my English professor two semesters ago that it was being published in Pennsylvania.

    I'm so rusty, I probably won't ever move again.

    But I do know a few friends of mine who're writing books. They're in the publishing process, as well.

    I sort of do because i start writing it but then i get some new idea and start working on the new idea.
    Its either that or I lose inspiration or motivation and just stop writing until I want to continue it again.
    Usually i tend to stick to short srories and poems so i can actually finish them but I do have one book that almost done through the process and hopefully might get published...

    Yeah, I do. I love writing, it's fun and it also can help you out in school too. I'm good at writing plays and stories for projects because I already write on my own time, so yeah, it helps me out alot. Right now I'm working on a book about his girl that has to live underground in a HUGE bomb shelter, because america was attacked, when the troops were in iraq, so we lost a lot of defense. Yeah, it'll be fun, but depressing.

    I'm working on an orginal FF novel which I hope wil lbe a long story but I know in the end it'll be like 12 chapters long and end poorly. (even if I'm already planning concept art fo a character modelled after me except he wears a different outfit each time the heroes see him, even if its 20 mins later lol)

    I'm not really writing a 'book', it's more like taking in different inspirations to brain storm a novel. When I write I like to do a LOT of brain storming so I KNOW what I'm talking about.

    At this point, I really don't want to reveal what it is, in the threat of the idea being of stolen.

    Ugh I hate having to do timelines. We get choices of what type of project we want to do, and what civilazation to do it on.
