For example: When I read my own writing the pictures in my mind are like cartoons because I don't see myself as the best writer. Tamora Pierce is like a very detailed 3-D cartoon... like Over the Hedge or Shriek for example. LDM, you writing is a nice style, and very detailed, so I kinda see it as a moving pastel painting with detailed coloring.
Does any of that make sence to you all?
That's interesting. I've never thought of it that way. Usually when I imagine scenes from a book, it's live except with the lines not so clearly drawn out. For example I'd see a character moving and interacting but his face remains a blur. I also tend to go with what the cover artist has drawn unless it's a terrible cover.

I'd like to join this club! I love writing and am working on a few novels right now. Mostly fantasy. I've found I'm better at writing when I add magic to them.

Is that RP dead? It was so much fun. Oh well. That's how things are.
I've been writing short stories lately. I get bored in physics, so I write. I've actually got some good stuff written down, like this poem
Who knows whats beyond the bend
Who knows where the river leads
Blinders on, the sun is set.
We cannot see what lies ahead
Hope for hope,
Dream for dreams.
Maybe you will take that path.
But until we reach our destined home
we will not know what is to come.
And the short story:
Bow drawn, arrow knocked, and knife sheaf comfortably snug against his thigh, Thane smiled grimly. He was set. Behind him he heard a crunch, the first warning of what was to come. He swiveled quickly and fired. A short rustle followed his shot, but nothing more. Had he missed? Perhaps he had hit it, but the beast didn't care. If it were the latter, he was in trouble. Thane inched forward, bow drawn, straining his sences for any sign of trouble. Again, behind him he heard a twig snap.He turned in time to see the animal lunge at him, his arrow in it's shoulder, turned just in time to fire an arrow. This one hit the beast in the throat, cutting both its scream and charge short. It teared at its throat, trying to remove the bolt with semi-human hands. It fell to the gorund, unable to cry out. Thane pulled another arrow from his quiver. It was a special one, long and sharp, made of pure silver. He knocked the arrow and shot the were-wolf in the heart.

Wow, Nauriel!!! Your poem is beautiful!! The short story is good, too.  (--is there an applausing smiley??)
Here's a poem I wrote that I posted in the fanfic/poetry section, but I thought I'd post it here as well and hear what other writers think of it.
Among the glade
In forest deep
The moonlit earth
Its song did keep.
And shadowy light
Lay scattered there
Upon the floor
Of the forest bare.
Woven rays
Throughout the trees
Did cast their gleam
In faintest breeze.
What eyes behold
This dreamlike night?
What tears are shed
In silent sight?
Those who mourn
For times yet past
For times at hand
For times to last.
 Heh-heh-heh. *runs*

question, I really can't decide.
does Prince Rouki Keagan sound better, or Prince Rouku Keagan?
((Rou is pronounced like Ru or Roo.  ))

Thats nothing to be ashamed about! Most writers start out writing their stories on paper then type it later! I wrote a short story (hand written) about a singing cat when I was 7!

When I was seven I wrote a story about living cupcakes. Now that is something to be ashamed about.

LOL! No it's not! Don't be ashamed of anything you write, no matter how stupid.
My sister and I wrote "The Texas Chronicles" when we were 6 and 8, she did the illustrations and I the writing. Very primitive. Rather dumb. But hey, it was a beginning of something!

hey, this is the start of a story from a few years ago I'm thinking of picking back up; please tell me what you think.
- - - - -
He wasn’t here again. She had really hoped that he would come for once, but she had hoped in vain. Nervously Teagan Simonds scanned the crowd again, desperately searching for her father, Brent Simonds. Teagan concluded he hadn’t come again. She squinted her eyes in the sun, her baseball hat wasn’t helping to much, and started to practice her swing again. Teagan was decked out in gray ball pants, royal blue socks, black cleats, and her team jersey and hat; they were the cubs, hence the blue.
Just after her fifth or sixth swing, Coach Smith called her over to home plate. It was her turn to bat. Stepping up to the right-handed side of the plate, Teagan took her stance like she was a pro ready to hit one out of the park.
Smack!
There came the dull thud of the first ball thrown by the Coach smacking into the catcher’s mitt. Teagan could vaguely hear her mom in the stands yelling something, but she couldn’t quite make it out. The young girl stepped out of the box for a moment, then quickly stepped back in, determination obvious on her face.
“C’mon Teagan!” her twin brother, Tyler, called from the dugout.
“Yeah! You can do it!” his best friend, Hunter, yelled after Tyler was done.
Smiling, Teagan turned back around to face Coach Smith, who was pitching. She watched the red-laced ball with intensity as it left the Coach’s hands. Time itself seemed to slow down for the moment as the ball spun steadily closer. Teagan swung.
Smack!
Instead of the dull thud of the catcher’s mitt, the sharp crack of the aluminum bat striking the ball rang through the air. The ball itself flew out somewhere in left field. Way in left field. Teagan was so busy watching it fly she didn’t notice Coach Smith screaming at her to run.
Six year old Teagan Simonds had hit the first and only homerun of that T-ball season.
And her dad wasn’t there to watch it.
