I love to write, plus I read a ton. You all are crazy awesome cause I can't just sit down and write a novel. I have ideas but they never get very far. I've written some short stories and poems though.

I like to wake up on a Saturday morning and write novels about the world, I'm currently on a novel called: Up on Cloud 9
It's about a Brazillian Boy and an Emirati boy, now this was in 1925, when Brazil still took over a part of the UAE, so when the Brazillian boy was at school and stuff, no one would talk to him, but one boy thought differently, he said that the Brazillian boy couldn't do anything to stop his country taking over others, like America doing wars, can any of you do anything about it? No. -
So they become best friends, and on a cloudy day they sit together and look at the sky, there are nine clouds, eight were white, while one was grey, which was weird, so they called it their own, and said that they would call it cloud 9, and it was s ymbol of their friendship, but then, 14 years later when they're both 18, it's the start of world war 2 (1939) and the Brazillain boy dies, the Arab boy misses him deeply, and one day, he looks up at the sky and sees eight cotten like white clouds, and one grey one. It was cloud 9. So the Arab boy wished and wished hard that he could see the Brazillian boy one last time to show him how much he meant to him when they were alive, to cut things short, in the end, the Arab boy gets captured in a prison, and as he escapes, he sees the Brazillian boy down a corridor, and runs to him, when he escapes, he looks at cloud 9 and says: 'You'll always be up there (Brazillian boy's name here, still haven't decided yet) and not only on cloud 9, but in my thoughts and dreams too'

wow ILM!! thats a really good story!! welll... my longest book is kind of like depressing... its like so this one guy (i havent decided on names yet) falls in love with this girl named Jess. jess dies and its kinda bout how he learns to cope with his loss... i dont wanna spoil the ending cuz eventually i will be posting that one on gtq.... the one im writing is called Confess To Me and its about a jewish girl whose family is killed in the holocaust and she escapes germany and comes to america. she goes to a school in new york, and one boy really stands out to her: Trey. trey is from france, but he has an african culture. he was abducted from his parents in africa in his early childhood, and brought to france to apprentice an old woodworker. during the early years of WW2, the germans attack his little home in france, along with other big cities and towns. all the people run shrieking. somehow trey finds himself lost in the crowd, looking for a familiar face, his mothers. he knew in a time like this that she would comfort him, take him to safety. but, knowing she was killed long ago, he loses hope. a young couple finds him, and brings him to england, where eventually they succeed to get on a ship to america. with great difficulty, trey adjusts to his new mother and father, though they do not speak the same language. trey adjusts to the new school in new york with great difficulty. he was made fun of, and whipped by the teachers many times because of lack of respect. when June comes to the school, though, Trey begins to have hope. June brought out the best in Trey, and eventually they become friends. one day they sit on a hillside overlooking the bay on a very sunny day. Trey unveils his whole past to June, knowing she can be trusted. June, not fully trusting anybody in america yet, stutters as she tries to confess to Trey about her rough life before this one. she cant find herself to do it. as trey and june become older, and eventually into their teen years, their relationship grows. but yet, June still hasnt revealed her history. this book is about the struggles and good times of Trey and June, and their relationship. June reveals her past in a riddle, but Trey, having limited knowledge because of dropping out of school, cant fully piece the puzzle together. june, throughout their marrage, continues to reveal her past in riddles. one day, june catches measles. there was no local doctors where they were living at the time. trey would never leave junes bedside. but, despite all of trey's prayers and caretaking, june slowly passes away before trey's eyes. the remainder of the story is about how trey tries to uncover june's history, and his mourning for his loss. in the end, trey figures out june's history, and locates her brother, who miraculously survived the attack, and ran away to england. trey travels to england, and meets june's brother, Cashmiere. Cashmiere, because of his age, could not talk clearly, thus making understanding hard for trey. but, despite the struggles of communication, Cashmiere manages to write down his family's history before his death in 1967. but trey still has alot of missing pieces to find. in the end, trey does figure out june's family history, and passes it down through his family. the last couple sentences are in present times: "These records still exist today, though the location is unknown. Where Trey is buried we are uncertain, but we know that June and Trey's bodies are buried somewhere near upstate New York. The history of June's family is not known by many, though those lucky enough to posses it, in all your greatest intentions, keep the tale alive." This book was the 550 pages but i finished writing it today and it is well over 800 now.

=) i like ur pic!! ooh should i write a sequel or would that be extending it too long...

That sounded good, and if you want to extend it, then you can, BUT, the sequel should be a good enough story not some "What happened after" sort of thing, it has to be some proper story, just trying to help. And thanks a lot. :D
