Celestial
Summary:
Celestials and their ancient legacy have disappeared with time's passing.
Summer is one of the last remaining Celestials in the entire land of King Lance and King Slade. Once she's discovered and brought before King Slade, her Element - Fire - is taken advantage of. While Summer's being juggled between two Kingdoms, no one notices as a third Kingdom arises.
And who is the King? Not a man. It's Summer's long lost mother.
Stuck in between the Kingdoms, it's up to Summer to decide the fate of all the Kingdoms - once and for all.

Oh yes. The dreaded writer's block: bane of every writer's existence. However, I find that if you force yourself into the mindset that I CAN write, I CAN write, I CAN and MUST and WILL write, then usually something will come, even if what comes is a little random and unexpected.
I look forward to reading more of your writing; you have a talent. And ask anyone who knows me--those words aren't heard(or read!) often.
Hope your writer's block goes away soon!!
Thank you!
However, I'm taking a break on Celestial due to this stupid writer's block, haha.
But I have another book I'm working on (also fantasy) called Silver Lining I'm looking forward to introduce onto Teen Ink for feedback. I'm well into the first chapter, and when I'm done with that, I'll be submitting. (:
Thank you!
I'm thinking about submitting a revised version of chapter one. I'll have to edit it first, though. (:
That all sounds great! Good luck on the next project, and on the editing of this one (although in my opinion it doesn't need much).
Thank you for offering to read my work! I've tried a novel on this site (Big Sink Purple). If you could read that and give a bit of constructive criticism, that would be amazing!
Thanks again!
Hmm. Now that you mention it, I might just start off another novel. I have another idea in mind, but I don't know where it'll go.
This draft of Celestial is very early and I've tons of changes. Like my description and stuff. Kind of overloaded. I'm reading a book called "The Book On Writing" (nice title, huh?) and boy, I learned a lot. I will delete these current chapters and post updated versions sometime in the future. I can notify you if you want. :D
I'd love to read some of your writing as well. Have any specifics in mind? (:
Actually, I'm deleting my Inkpop account temporarily- I've already submitted a request but I've no idea how long it takes for them to process it. As of now, my username's bitterandsweet but I'd like a different username. When I have my new account, I'll message you and we'll talk more then. (:
To me, the process always begins with reading. Need some grammar / punctuation help? Read a book. Confused on how to write flowing, natural dialogue? Read a book. That's the best advice I can give you. Ever since fourth grade, I've been ruthlessly plowing through books, usually over a hundred a year. I read Twilight when I was in fifth grade. (Not a smart idea.) Inspiration... Mmh. Hard topic. In my head, I'm constantly thinking about possibilities for plot lines wherever I go. I don't know why; it's this subconscious, irritating thing I do. (I'm not telling you to do that:) But I think life experiences can give you inspiration. You get through a hard year, drastic things occuring one after another, yet you manage to cope. Afterwards you think back, and you just know what it feels like. Otherwise, it's beauty for inspiration. I went to Yosemite two weeks ago for a field trip, and man. It was beautiful. Perfect blue skies and pure white snow. I hiked up the west end, and it had the most stunning scenery. Ever. Half Dome. El Capitan. Bridalveil Falls. All combined into one. I tried to think of something, anything that could compensate to what I was experiencing. When I returned back to my cabin, I thought of what I just saw. The inspiration rushed in afterwards.
Don't force the pen to write down something amazing and wonderful. Sit down at your desk with a blank sheet and pencil. Relax. Try to conjure anything in your memory that you'd like to retell. Don't think of those bestsellers. Do you have a strong viewpoint that you could express by morphing it into a plot line? If an idea doesn't come immediately, don't stress. Think about your day's events. Just remember, don't force ideas, but let them come to you.
Sorry if this was a huge blob of repeated sentences and yada. I hope this helps, and good luck!
