I decided to bring the phone out with me next time and try to get a pic of them during feeding time. I went out and waited for the editing alarm to go off and when I first sat down I was unable to spot the baby. I saw a parent fly in though and land near the bottom of the Deacon Tree and as it got nearer I saw the baby literally sitting on the ground.
That worried me but then I watched as it climbed up and disappeared between two of the vines I got growing under the tree now. I kept worrying and kept looking out the kitchen window on subsequent occasions but never saw baby Mo again. If you want to improve the flow of your writing, try commas! I love these facts and I also love the stories posted in the comments! We would welcome any help.
Suddenly a voice lanced through the quiet, strong and clear. What of Lady Aluminum? Magnesium nodded wordlessly. And then chaos erupted in the council chambers. Losing one of our greatest is certainly a sore blow when we are in such needs, but we will hold. Helium-3 awoke with a start, cold and shivering and scared. Where am I? He scrambled to his feet, and all of a sudden his chest ached horribly.
There was no pain, no, only a dull throb of what had been the wound that took his life. What is this place? A whisper, carried on the wings of memory, floated back to him across the expanses between worlds.
He gathered his strength and his hope and his memories for the one person he loved, and raced out into the great unknown of another world. There are also a few font styles like italics and different fonts that are lost in copy and pasting. Sorry about that. I like the idea of the character names being named after elements on the Periodic Table. Nice job! It has around 13, words. Every time I read I would get ideas for books or stories that I wanted to write.
I tried to start one, but every time I did I would get more ideas and then it was too hard to decide which to do. Finally, I have challenged myself to write at least a novella as it has to be at least half-finished by January.
If you can tell me what you think, and what comes to mind like images when you read it that would be really helpful! At the building I was safe.
Everything I loved was there and, and, I…. It was the voice. My head! I fall on my knees, crying, tearing at anything that will take the pain… bring different pain. Physical pain. Then, out of nowhere lightning strikes and I fall backwards hitting nothing.
Somehow making no sound, just as if no one is here. No one heard me fall. Stumbling through the darkness that never ends, I grope for my way back, anyway back. My brain has blocked it un-accessible it says. I start running, stumbling, falling, tears clouding what little I can see. I stagger through what I think are trees for an eternity. And suddenly there in front of me is, is, just nothing…. I drop, I drop to the ground, too exhausted to fight the defeat. Falling into a second sleep I lay there on the wet earth soaked with my tears.
I hope to be a published author someday… right now I have like ten ideas for a book. None of them are even close to finished. This article helped a little- It showed that my current pace could eventually become a bestselling novel. Anyway, want a sneak peek at my latest idea for a novel? What am I saying, of course you do. And of course, there was always the possibility that I would get something new.
I really like what you wrote. I stress about my word count a lot too, but with an interesting plot like yours, you should have no problem flying through pages of incredible writing. Good luck, and I hope you reach your hopes of being a published author someday.
I want to be an author one day! Eleven wolves gathered in the southern peninsula of Yellowstone lake. It was a frigid winter night. The wind howled, and the almost full moon shone on their fur. He opened his mouth to speak, but before he could another alpha with a flower placed over her right eye covering up a scar interrupted. She stood up and stretched, as if she was trying to show off her short-haired reddish pelt.
And dreaming weird things, too. When Night finally opened his mouth to speak again, his sister, Bison, alpha of the Junction Butte pack, interrupted him. How did she even become an alpha? So immature. Night thought. She quieted down. Um, keep talking. Feel free to comment some tips,in fact please do! She had always wanted to be accepted, but not like this.
How could she live knowing that the very powers she possessed could only be granted from the dead. Noor screwed up her fists, completely indulged with the unfairness of it all. She looked up from the ground and let her eyes scan across the empty baskets, the small bodies had been taken away but the raw evidence still remained. In a matter of seconds Noor came to a decision on what she must do. Noor wrapped her hand around the small rope attached to the raft and started dragging it across the sandy floor.
She walked slowly through the water, lifting her legs up high so she could go at a quicker pace, when she was out deep enough Noor lifted herself up onto the makeshift raft and dipped an oar into the water. It was a plan designed for failure, why travel anywhere when you have no destination, especially without food or water. Oh the irony to die of thirst on the ocean, Noor could practically see the scene playing out before her mind. Shame quickened her pace but she never got closer to the sun, not after hours of paddling endlessly.
Noor crossed her legs underneath her, and pulled her navy blue tunic closer to her in some attempt to compose herself. She gazed at her reflection in the water, her tired face wavered before her and long strands of her brown hair clung to the sweat on her forehead. She lifted her head to the stars, almost wishing that Wilder was here so that he could understand where they were.
Almost that is, Noor knew that she must never grow close to anyone ever again. The fear of losing them was simply too great. A light breeze tickled her cold skin and it seemed to hum to her, reminding her of what she could come to be.
Noor closed her mind to the elements, and simply let herself sleep, to think that months ago sleep had been a hindrance, a waste of time, now it was the only thing letting her escape reality. A cobbled street, a woman hugging her tight, dark innocent eyes peeking at her through the dark, separation, scratchy straw itching her skin, calm water lapping at her fingers and a small island in the distance.
Apparently I lack basic basic organizational skills, as I could not give an accurate average. It varies acutely and I do not keep a record. I love writing and reading a lot and aspire to be an author one day. Also, hearing so many people around my age 13 is so incredible. If it feels like a chore, maybe take a break for a bit and read instead, since reading improves your skills.
Sorry that this was so long, I just wanted to express everything! Very interesting to know. Very true distinction between writers and aspiring writers. Such varied word counts among authors. From to 10, I was wondering if my , words a day was average or low. Thanks for the great article. What an amazing compilation! Truly inspiring. Thanks for enlightening me on this. This is wonderful advice for me.
Thank a lot. Jim asked himself. A sound was coming from the garage. Jim pulls the blanket to his stomach- the garage is filled with rats waiting for a new corpse to enter their domain.
He pulled the blanket down to his feet and heard a scream. A scream of pure terror, Jim was shaking and started to scream himself, tears falling to his face, screaming for his father and for anyone to help him, to get him out of this hell. Jim sat on the edge of his bed listening to the scratching and the screaming coming from the garage. Jim slowly moved his feet towards the ground, he took a step, more screaming and scratching.
Another step, the sounds getting louder now. Jim was only a few feet away from the door when the sounds stopped. Jim stood, looking at the big wooden door that would take him outside of this godforsaken cabin and lead him to whatever hell that laid in the garage. The spoon, banged against the porcelain bowl. It was a deeply resonating sound. Clunk it went again as she swirled it around.
Clunk, clunk, clunkity clunk. Clunk, clunk, clunk. She looked up slowly from her bowl. The pearls on her head shifted slightly. The pearls slid a little bit more. Now get up and come with me. Lunch has been over for a while.
The pearls slid again. They balanced precariously on the edge of her hair. She shifted her stance. Another pearl fell from her head.
Your mother will be disappointed to see you like this. She was almost halfway out the door when Beatrice spoke. My name is Beatrice. This one was the latest Nana in a long line of Nanas.
Hundreds, maybe. Not like anyone was counting. Each one quit after a few weeks, at most. They were all the same. Nondescript, a little plump, and just barely too young to be her grandmother.
Beatrice quietly followed the new Nana, staring at the ground. Eyes up! Eyes up now! Someone had taken extra care to clean today, and open the windows. It would have been nice, except for the fact that it was raining, cold, and dreary. Beatrice thought that was very idiotic of them. Stevenson—Screamcatcher series. Heres a bit of my new book. It hurts so bad. I don't need to title my entries, or tag them, or enable comments, or any of that other stuff.
This is writing, and it's online, but it's not blogging, or Twittering, or Facebook status updating. This is between you and you. I looked this up. So, three standard pages are about words. Of course if words. It really just comes down to the fact that this amount of writing feels about right.
You can't just fart out 3 pages without running into your subconscious a little bit And that's the point. Because words is nothing to sneeze at, it's also nice to have an easy way to know how many words you have to go. It is a question that all writers have asked since pen first touched paper: how many words should I be writing per day? Well, there really is no right answer. The number of words per day varies from author to author, and then there is the question: how many salvageable words should one write per day?
In his autobiography , Twain writes that when he was finishing his book Following The Equator, he would average about 1, words per day. In , he would write around 1, words over a span of four to five hours. The average double-spaced manuscript page is around three hundred words, making his output roughly pages per day.

Author Holly Black Words I try to write a thousand words every day.
I do this to keep myself honest, saying exactly when I wrote what part of the book. Pace yourself. A thousand words a day is a good ticking over amount. Write 1, words a day, five days a week, before you do anything else. Author Sophie Kinsella Words I try to write 1, words a day. Sometimes I do that by 11 a. Once you start writing a book, make time to write every single day. Find a comfortable number of words for you to write each day and stick to that number.
I am comfortable with words. My minimum is words a day… Those words might well be rubbish — they often are. But then, it is always easier to return to rubbish words at a later date and make them better.
Author Barbara Kingsolver Words I tend to wake up extremely early with words flooding into my brain. Make sure you write a minimum number of words every day. Author Sebastian Faulks Words When I am writing a book I work from ten till six every day in a small office near my house.
