Are you like writing a story. Or a poem. Or what?

I have too many to name, but fresh on my mind is Terri Windling. I just read a book by her called The Wood Wife. It was amazing. eek

I've read a few "classics". Though I'm not much for them.
I never got past the first chapter for The Giver.....

personally, I prefer Gathering Blue. I read that in fifth grade by choice, and again in seventh because it was on our reading list. I love it! blaugh

I love your story idea by the way, The Thirteenth World. Let me know if I can be of any help! I've got a couple of projects in the works now too, so maybe we could compare? Your story sounds very science-fiction, which I'd be interested to hear more about. I'm more of a fantasy writer, myself. But I've read a few sci-fi books... whee

Never read The Giver. I'm pretty sure some people in my grade read it last year, but i read Fahrenheit 451 instead, and god am I happy I did. -idolizes Ray Bradbury-
@emily: wow. how incredibly silly those people are. tsk.

that's absolutely crazy. xD its the same way with me! my mom had a friend who had a daughter named... -insert my name- so she named me that too. xD -doesn't divulge name because she thinks its weird- o:

I write just almost anything. That would be cool. We should compare sometime! Though I don't write until I got all the kinks I can find out of the system.

@hammi: i do pretty much the opposite. ><
mainly because that's the advice that Bradbury gives in his book Zen and the Art of Writing. >>

-continues to idolize-
xDD
now if only Billy Collins would make something like that. -w-

Sure thing, Hammie!

Panda, Ray Bradbury came to our local Barns and Noble one time...but they line was too long so he didn't get to sign anything of mine crying

 

[Rad Disease]

I've never read Ray Bradbury. ><  

[NocturnalMuse]

I have a lot of favorites. But a few of mine are:
Stephenie Meyer, P.C Cast, Richelle Mead, J.K Rowling, Susan Wiggs, L.J Smith, Ellen Schreiber, Scott Westerfeld, and Rachel Caine. I have many more and even more favorite books. smile  

[Rad Disease]

I didn't like Stephenie Meyer until I got this book called The Host. Its pretty good.

Orson Scott Card, hands down.

Apparently he's very good, I hear it from everyone.
Could you reccomend a book?

Ender's Game. Or Shadow of the Giant. Its the same timeline from two different perspectives. Both books made me cry, which is really a big deal.

Everything else I've read that he's written came as a sore disappointment because those two were so mind-blowingly fantastic.

@queenie: OH. MAH. GOD.

...


DDDD':

that's absolutely incredible!!! ._. at least you got to be in the same room with him. xDD

he came to the LA Book Fair this year. that was at the time i was reading Fahrenheit 451, so i had no interest back then. this would be when a time machine could really come in handy. ;o;

Shadow of the Giant is more commonly known as Ender's Shadow though.
