Does This Sound Like An Interesting Book?
I am rather shy about my writing. I have an idea for a novel that I want to post on Wattpad.com, but I've decided to get your opinions on the synopsis first. It is a Science Fiction/Adventure (There will be some action and probably a little romance, but not too much). I know that Dystopian science fiction novels are sort of overdone right now, but I want to write this because I genuinly enjoy writing dystopian books, not because of books like The Hunger Games. I appreciate construction critisism, but please don't be rude about it. Synopsis: Drea Ashings world is shattered when her sister, Elodie, is kidnapped after an attack that leaves her home in ruins. With little but her own life, Drea sets off on a journey through the ravaged wastelands left behind by the War to find her sister. Suddenly thrown into a lawless, ugly reality, perhaps the most surprising thing of all is what Drea learns about herself; she is as tough as nails, cold as ice and an unbeatable survivor. On a journey that started as a mission to save her sister, Drea will be given the chance to change her corrupt society. There is only one flaw; Drea isn't a hero. Thanks in advance <3 (To any of those interested in reading, it will be posted on my Wattpad account in a few days. My username is DreamingCorpse).
Does this sound like an interesting book?
I tried to answer this morning but was having technical troubles and then I was off to work with a busy busy day. They say the hardest part is coming up with a story idea and you have conquered that part and have come up with a very unique idea. I'll tell you somethin about me. I am a very “visual” reader and I love it when the author describes things to me. For example, the big guy that was banging around looking for her. What did he look like? How was he dressed, like, was his clothes frayed or ill fitting or was he a dapper dresser like a politician? It's your world and you paint the pictures for us to see when we read them. I bet you have a picture of that guy in your head so tell us. You can make it anything you want. I applaud you aspiring writer and I encourage you on your journey. I hope to see your story in print!
Using poetry, can you make something boring sound interesting?
Oh, sure. A lot of the most interesting poetry is just that… a quiet moment or a nothing observation, transformed. The trouble is, once having read an “interesting” poem, to reverse-engineer it and realize it was a nothing observation in the first place. A good poem can make you forget that.How boring would you like? Here are a few short ones with simple beginnings, that aim to locate more “interesting” depths:ADGBEBroke the low-E string on my acoustic guitarOh, wellIt only wanted to singsad cowboy songs& I want moreWINEwine? not another sip. let’sbathe in it instead. rivers of redcover your skinyou’re afraid and I won’t saylet’sswim.HAIKU WHILE DRIVING NORTHblue tarp bandageswestern side of the mountainscars hide under there2 story housesscattered headstones on the landrest, dear Earth, in peacetoo many étoilespausing in a foreign landgrab this heart and stompRUSHEDmeeting in 20 minutes. rushing out the door. long legs skip three steps. thinking of you, don’tplace feet on the ground.MARCH CRACKS OPENnow tap the maplesthey shout restricted longingslike bull moose in springIDYLLIce and snow and wife and kids and real life wander inObstruct the perfect view you fashioned, desk against the window wall15 foot aluminum boat, blue and white topsidemoored on its trailer six years nowBird shit on the ripped cover.You always hated sailing.READ THE WARNING SIGNSsoft sands on your beachblue-green waters devastatevicious undertow.[All poems (c) Me.]
Read, Please: Is this something you would read, and does this sound interesting?
You should take out the word 'hell' in the last sentence before the second paragraph. When you use 'hell' is that way, it makes the story sound too angry for what the story is. At the last sentences; I would take out some exclamation points. Another thing; remember 'show and not tell.' Fill us in on Benny's feelings and the way his family acts as it happens. It makes the story more interesting. And I like the story. It's original. Probably not something I would read. I'm 13, and this seems more like an adult, serious book. Although I wrote one, but I don't know about this one. but that's just me. Others will like it, I guarantee it.

What book would you suggest to someone who wants to start reading?
My reading lies predominantly in the sci-fi/fantasy realm, so I’ll start with those, though I’ll get to some other genres later on. Rather than providing descriptions of plot and such, I’ll describe what I actually liked about the book. If you want a description, just check Goodreads.The Name of the Wind, by Patrick Rothfuss: amazing first-person narrative, innovative magic system, character growth in a fantasy world (as opposed to many sub-par fantasy novels which essentially comprise of a fantasy world with some characters thrown in); probably my favorite book at the momentJonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, by Susanna Clarke: interesting use of magic, similar in a way to The Name of the Wind in that the magic doesn’t make the novel: the characters doThe Speed of Sound, by Eric Bernt: a fun little game of cat and mouse, rife with secret organizations, car chases, shootouts, explosions, and likable characters; more of a thriller with a sci-fi elementThe Lies of Locke Lamora, by Scott Lynch: a fun fantasy heist novel with a plot that deliversBut maybe you’re not a fantasy person, so now I’ll go into some interesting general fiction.The Goldfinch, by Donna Tartt: I haven’t actually finished the book yet, but I can already say that this book’s first-person narrative is quite amazing. Even apart from that, the writing is brilliant, and I can already see the potential for compelling character growth and plot innovation. I suppose this review is a bit premature, but so far, The Goldfinch is contesting to be my next favorite.I suppose it’s possible that you’re mainly looking for nonfiction, but in that case, all you need to do is look up your topic of interest on Google and find the most popular books. Happy reading!
Does my story sound too much like Twilight?
I'm fourteen years old and writing a story, just for fun really. I want to show my friends and family it because so far it seems really good. But when I was writing my fifth chapter it started to remind me a bit too much like Twilight. My book is about a young girl whose mother and brother were murded and she goes to live with her dad. I'm not going to get to into the details, but she starts finding some clues as to who -and what- killed her mom and brother. She discovers the murderer was a vampire and goes to try and kill him somehow, but ends up falling in love with him. I know that pretty much EVERY vampire & human love story sounds like Twilight.. but does mine sound TOO much like it?
How to make my book plot sound less like the Hunger Games?
I haven't ever read the Hunger Games, but I came up with an idea the other day for a book plot and I wanted to write it, but a few of my friends (and people on here) have said that it's kind of similar. I've ordered the book so I can read it and see what I can change, but it hasn't arrived yet. Anyway, here's my idea (and this is the really short version)- Criminals, after being found guilty for serious crimes, have the opportunity to choose between life imprisonment in Gohran City, a nationwide prison that's inescapable and renowned for being a really horrible place, or taking part in the Gohran Island Trials. The Trials are basically a race for survival; an organization that watches over the trials (calling them the 'controllers' for now, because I haven't decided on a name yet) can control everything, and they try to kill prisoners off. They do this by causing 'natural' disasters, setting traps, etc. There are only two rules - you are not allowed to kill your competitors, and the last one standing is set free to return to their normal life. Half way through, two of the competitors start to kill off other prisoners to give them a better change of winning. Normally they would be taken out of the Trial straight away and placed into Gohran City, but the 'controllers' decide that it just makes it more interesting. The other competitors don't know about this, and still think they're not allowed to kill. The main storyline is about the main character and his fight for survival against the traps that the controllers have set, and against the other two competitors who are trying to kill off everyone else. Like I said, I've never read the Hunger Games. I don't know what happens in it. So if you're gonna answer saying "this sound like hunger games!" then don't haha. I just need ideas about how to make it different enough that it won't be seen to be copying it! Thanks for any help!
