A few nights ago i had a dream, and I've been thinking about writing a bk about it. In short it was about this girl who started school at a new high school, for some unknown reason her parents made her. Because she was new they did the mandatory clinic check u, and when they pulled u her filed, they came across something known as the c-14 apparently it was an experiment she was involved in by birth--- with vampires. The lead of the clinic happens to be the only person she can trust in the end, because having opened the file sent out the team of assassin's. In the end you kind of find out that the clinic head is a man who killed her mom, whom was a vampire. meaning she was indeed adopted.

Sounds interesting. I say "GO FOR IT"! But outline the plot first on paper because sometimes stories inspired from dreams have a way of getting one lost for forty years in a literary desert like the exiled Jews from Egypt 200+ years ago. And your story sounds like its got a complicated plot.

OOPS!!! Make that 2000+ years ago.

BTW, read your poem. I can't review poems because I don't know the first thing about writing them, but I did enjoy yours. Also read what you wrote at the top. The first thing people do that they shouldn't do is PUT OTHERS first. I learned to put MYSELF first. learn to love yourself and then look for others that compliment that love. Then treat others as you would like them to treat you. If everyone did this:self-love and mutual respect and love, the world would be a beautiful place to live in. Don't let someone treat you less than you deserve (I'm sure your mom would agree that you deserve to be treated like royalty because you're her princess). If someone doesn't give you the treatment you deserve then they don't deserve you. Think about it.

Thanks, for the feed back and advice.

how exactly would you say i write my plot out on paper?

I've got a lazy streak a mile wide and while im inspired, i need to get a jump start.

Maxkeanu or Dirge87 would probably be better at explaining this than me. Yoo-hoo...Max? Where are you? Plot layout?

I'v been on vacation, communing with Koala Bears and roos.

I discovered that I have much more time to write, when not belonging to a writers site. Working with you and Sally Brice, was worth the cost of admission here. I'm in the finishing stages of,The Swiftness of Sea and starting a new novel, The Pearl Diver.

The Pearl Diver, is plot driven using a police procedural format, which hinges on world disaster/events caused by an espionage ring of Nazi's spies and aviators.

Using Maugham, Flemming, Raymond Chandler, Christie, Steinbeck and other authors as broad outliners and for plot reinforcement. My plot is built, but flexible. I will set story in 1935-1946 in Berlin and Pacific basin. I have clear mental images of beginning, middle and end. My characters are well defined. All action adventure is in active voice in 1st-3rd narrative forms (no more lit-fic for me). When synopsis and first three chapters completed, then I send to a publisher/house interested in this noir theme.

To reply to The Blind Queen about plot: Write about what you know or be prepared to do months of research (the lazy don't bother with research). If your lazy- don't write novels.

You can find emotional values of individual characters by writing long poems-prose and free association rambles (don't publish and bore readers).

If you want a jump start writing about Vampires, visit your local morgue and study dead people. At the point you realize physical death is not an abstract reality and that you will be amongst the dead someday, you may have passion to see entire project through.

All plots are built on the immovable foundations of love or money.

Unfortunately, I'm see what every agent sees with your brief(and horribly written) synopsis in this forum... your idea is a Buffy the Vamper clone idea.

Get serious and get tough, you have no idea about what the competition is in writing YA. Get a solid degree in the humanities, when start thinking novel. Agents and Pub houses have heard your idea pitched a thousand times, believe me.

Now a vampire story that takes place completely within the womb, controlling dear ol' mom's savage and deadly desires... oops, I gave you a completely novel idea. Can you run with it, do you have the chops, style and basic skills to sell it to pay the mortgage? That is the reality of a writing career, otherwise you're only doodling.

good lord, max keanu, you certainly don't suffer from a lack of self esteem. i'm sure this will be useful when being buffeted by the constant rejection that a prof writer has to slough off in daily life. the following does sound a little disconcerting to be posted here tho'. -->
