Vanessa  Eden Patton (vanessaeden) | 49 comments In my novel: War Song

Patrick saw a small clump of a body laying by the roadside. He kept from his horse and slowly approached the body. He couldn't bring himself to run to the persons aide for fear of what he would find.
He slowly rolled Sarah supine and what he found was worse than he could have imagined...she...was beautiful.

The Legacy: Destiny

(I wrote that at 4am so I'll have to think about it before I keep it. It sounds a little strange out of context too... oh well)

How could I possibly translate into words the rollercoaster of sensations that consumed every fiber of my body? I could start with the rush it brought me, the total abandon with disregard for my surroundings or the sudden ascent to formidable heights just to get engulfed in a swirl that plunged me into a bottomless abyss. The truth is, you could take your most exhilarating experience and multiply it by the thousands, and yet it would only be an iota of what I was undergoing.

I'm loving this thread, its like little trailers :D

As I'm editing I didn't really write much today with A Dance With Fury. But I did write the blurb for my next book today. Kinda proud of it but I dunno where to post it. Gonna sit on it for a while me thinks.

G.G. (ggatcheson) | 1053 comments Mod
Why not post it here? You wrote it. :P

I am editing too, but some parts it's easier to rewrite entirely. Got to get rid of the 'be' verb, the 'I' pronoun etc. (blah!)


message 6: by Dionne (new)

Dionne (httpwwwgoodreadscomdionnelister) | 26 comments Everyone's stuff sounds exciting! Bisky, you should post your blurb as it is writing lol.

To put my writing in context, I've almost finished a women's fiction/comedy. It has talking genitals. This is a conversation between two vaginas who have just worked out how to communicate with their 'owners'.

"Woohoo, Pauline! How amazing that they can hear us. They never have to sleep with another loser again now they have inside information," said Doris.
"I know. I can’t believe you got through to her. Underpants off to you, Doris; you’re amazing."

Ann  Thorrson (ann_thorrson) | 2536 comments Mod
I'm only not posting it because its a fictionalised version of what happened to me as a teenager. I think if I post it people are going to ask questions about it and I'm alittle busy right now to answer them all, I'm so busy this week xD

Doris is an amazing name for a vagina.


message 8: by J. David (new)

J. David Clarke (clarketacular) | 418 comments I haven't written anything yet today, but I wrote this last night. The only thing you need to understand is that "Nympharum" is the word (from the Latin) used for the Fae in this book. They are little flying faeries. In this scene, goblins are carrying off Timothy's sister, and he uses some magic items to pretend to be a powerful wizard and order the goblins to release her:

"You mock me!" Timothy cried. "It was my power that brought you here! Release that girl or I shall be forced to use my powers to create such a destructive storm as you have never-"

Buzzing of wings from his right as one of the Nympharum raced past, snatching the wand from his grip and flying off with it.

"REALLY?" Timothy shouted into the air after it.


message 9: by Bill (new)

Bill Ward (billwardauthor) | 9 comments Halfway through my new thriller and wrote this today, which I like.
"She had been madly in love with Peter and when she looked back she couldn’t understand her own behaviour. Still, being in her twenties was partly to blame. She had thought the world would be full of men like Peter. Her thirties had taught her something very different."


message 10: by Carl (new)

Carl Book review line: "I like Twilight." That ought to cause a ruckus.

Cassandra Lawson | 91 comments I haven't gotten much writing done the last couple of days due to mommy obligations.

Here's what I like from this morning.

"At our high school all students are required to take a class on sex ed at the same as feeding safety and etiquette."

Her father was already climbing out of the back window; Nina had already closed the front door.

Sounds interesting.


message 15: by Therese (new)

Therese Vannier (theresevannier) "Cookies" - written on my grocery list a few minutes ago. Does that count?


message 16: by Harmony (new)

Harmony Kent (harmonyk) @ Therese ... you bet! lol :D

Cheating a bit here, as I wrote this last thing last night :3 ...
Her words tumbled into stony silence, frigid air.

By far the funniest line today is something I said in a conversation with my builder. He'd just finished giving me advice, and then he said:
"And if I'm wrong you can shoot me down in flames."
I said in response: "Luckily for you I'm a really bad shot" :3
He seemed to find that hilarious (he he he). :)

I'm cheating too since I'm technically just spell checking it :p

Carl Review of Twilight: "We know Bella Swan; Bella's no feminist icon."


message 22: by Ann (new)

Ann  Thorrson (ann_thorrson) | 2536 comments Mod
ROFL.

I read an interesting review of Twilight and Stepanie Myers use of the word 'nattering' to mean annoying. Which is only used in Scotland apparently. (I'm English with Scottish fam and I've never heard it used other than to mean 'chatting')

But its on the list in thesaurus.com

How did the editor miss that?

The soft smell of flowers and warm glow from the candles started to affect my eyelids. I sat trying to occupy my mind that desperately tried to wander into a dream.

I really really struggled with that first sentence today. I don't know why, but I just couldn't get it how I wanted it to sound. I'm glad with the progress I made today with it but I'll probably change it tomorrow xP If anyone has any input let me know :p

I'd get this book done quicker if I wasn't such a bloody perfectionist xP

(Edited to correct spelling :x)

G.G. (ggatcheson) | 1053 comments Mod
@Bisky... don't take this badly PLEASE, but removed the 'ED' at the end of 'affecteD'.

I almost could smell the candles there for a second.. oh wait...flowers? no, the candle glow is what dragged me in. Maybe it was flower scented. :)

Would you believe me if I told you I auto corrected that in the last second before I copied and pasted it? CURSE YOU GOOGLE DRIVE!


message 26: by Ann (new)

Ann  Thorrson (ann_thorrson) | 2536 comments Mod
Also its good that you can smell the candles and not the corpses that are around :p

message 32: by Michael (new)

Michael Litzky | 79 comments Background on a couple of characters in a new story I'm working on:

"Five-year-old Sandia Belin and four-year-old Andrea Novis had roaring fistfights and races through the castle and black eyes and skinned knees from climbing the apple trees and the old oaks in the yard."


message 33: by Heidi (new)

Heidi Barnes | 86 comments I wrote this a while back, but it's the favorite that comes to mind. Actually it's a couple of lines that all go together.

“I thought you hated me,” Sapphira whispered as his lips lowered to hers.
“Don’t you know that the one you hate the most is the one you truly love?”
And then his lips were on hers.

All those lines are truly inspiring! Keep them coming! :)

I can't leave my epic fantasy alone. I think it's all this Game Of Thrones and WoT talk I've been having. I still feel like I have to read A LOT more books before I can commit to it. But it's such an itchy scab... I'm still figuring out names though.


His father had wandered through life with an honest dimwitted-ness that made his son certain, if he hadn't have been so gifted with the sword, he would have been trampled to death by a cow many years before.

This is such a great thread idea ^^ I love reading all these. There's a line I wrote for the third book, but I don't think anyone would get it because of context lol So, I'll post this one that I'm pretty proud of instead (still needs a little work though):

"Then, not having much of a choice, Oliver grabbed Ashley’s hand in his and together they walked through the veil covering the door straight into hell with the devil close behind them." -ReiHana, Book 3

T.J. West (tsalcedo) Here is a line I wrote last night..very brief..
“What?” I lightly grabbed her face, now stained with tears and bloodshot eyes, matching my own.

Aww Tiffany! So many feels <3


message 43: by Brittany (last edited Jan 22, 2014 01:43PM) (new)

Brittany Willows (brittanymwillows) I love these kinds of threads so much. Also, those are some awesome and interesting lines above. :D Now, here's a line I wrote earlier today for the third book in my science fiction trilogy that I'm actually quite fond of. c:

"Darkness . . . For what felt like an eternity, it seemed that’s all there was — a lonely emptiness which consumed all thought and feeling as though it might starve, neglecting to leave even the tiniest morsel for anyone who may need it more."

"So, you're telling me..." she narrowed her eyes. "He's always been able to understand me?"
"Indubitably." he said. She span on her heels.
"You little furry turd!"
The cat blinked slowly at her.
