Story

Hi, I'm writing a story called "Millicent's Gift." (Millicent is a deer.) There're two kids named Pike (I made up that name! well, kinda. It just popped into my head) and Marie, and they kinda meet MIllicent. It's kind of complicated. I kind of go on the adventure with the people in the book. I don't exactly plan out what's going to happen, just the main idea. The story usually turns out good!

back to the Inkwell

Cool!! :D Have fun writing! :D:D:D Whenever I write, the main character is usually based on me, so it's like I'm her.  Her name is always Keira.  I don't know why, but I randomly named her that. :)  I'm writing a REALLY good story!  When I finish it, I may tell you about it a little. :D:D

I think Keira is a really pretty name!!!!! I usually go to a baby name Web site to find a good name if I'm stuck!!!! It's so helpful! :D

I'm really having a hard time trying to decide what to do.  It's a really good story (not trying to brag. :D:D:D:D).  I don't know if I should show it to my friends and risk having it stolen, or wait a loooong time, get it published, and hope you'll buy my book.  Hmmmm.....  I guess I'll have to wait and see if I get past my current stage of writer's block...  :D:D:D

Thank you.  I actually knew somebuggy named Keira, but I didn't know her well.  I have a baby name website I use all of the time!!! It's sooo helpful!

Maggie, your story sounds really cool!:):):) I would ask you to tell me more, but I'm always worried about 'idea thiefs'!:(: I would post some of MY story,(yes, I'm writing one, too.:)), but I'm very careful with showing it to anybody but my family.:):):) Oh, and it's awesome that you're writing a novel, too, BellaTrix!:):):) Could you tell me what it's about?:):):)

Sigh...  Okay, first paragraph:

  Running.  The tiger's footfalls made soft thuds on the forest floor.  She was breathing heavily.  Each step was pure agony.  Her body yearned for a rest.  She pressed on.  After running for what seemed like an eternity, she finally slowed down.  
  Every muscle in her body ached.  How long had she been running?  Half an hour? An hour?  Two?  She had to rest.  
She suddenly stiffened.  What was that noise?  She strained her ears.  No . . . could it be?  
Humans! Dogs! Oh, no! She thought she had outrun them.  
Again she was running.  Running for her life.  With each step a searing pain shot though her body.  She was tired and thirsty.  Dizziness.  The world was black . . .
"There it is!  I see it!"
Arrroooo!
No, no, no . . .
She was trapped. Only one thought swirled in her head. My cubs, my cubs, my cubs . . .
***
It really needs more work.  I'm stuck on the third chapter now.  Ugghh.  Do you think it's okay anyway?  TNO's story is much more . . . I dunno.  It's just better.  Sigh . . .
