Teen Girls: what type of books are you interested in reading? I'm an amateur novelist (career journalist), and I'm currently working on my first Young Adult (teen) Fiction book for girls. I've noticed lately that fantasy books (like Twilight and Harry Potter) have become the reading trend for teens. But the story I am writing is based on practicality. These are things that could really happen. Anyway, I'm wondering if any girls are interested in reading realistic books with characters that you can relate to, or would you rather read strictly fantasy? And if you're into realistic fiction, what type of issues would you want a book to address--relationships? sex? alcohol? popularity? parents? thoughts on this will be appreciated :) | I personally like books like 13 Reasons Why, and books by Meg Cabot, and so do alot of other girls I know. I guess you could say I like realistic fiction. Here's an example of a storyline:
A girl and a guy have liked each other since kindergarten, but they never really just put it out there, or told each other.
In 7th grade, the guy gets up the nerve to ask the girl out.
She breaks up with him, due to lack of communication.
She tries to get over him, but can't seem to stop thinking about him.
Now in the middle of their 7th and 8th grade years, the girl falls for the boy, not knowing about his feelings.
Feel free to use that, by the way. lol
Just message back if you like the storyline or whatever.
Hope this helps.
*kenzie♥ | Can't remember name of two movies? I need help finding the names of two different movies. The first is about a young girl (teen) living in a house with her parents absent, possible buried in the basement. An amateur magician catches on to the fact she's living alone. The final scene has to do with poisoned tea, the magician switches the cups when the girl brings it, but he's the one that gets poisoned. The second movie is about a girl guynapped by a man and eventually she comes to have feelings for him. The main thing I remember is she requests a particular dress from town and when he goes to get it for her it tips the clerk off that he's got her. In the end of the movie he is shot and killed. | "The little girl who lives down the lane"
is the firt one, dont know the second | Question for mature people who actually care to give helpful input? Three years ago I asked my boyfriend to stop using the type of porn he was using. the girls were all young...VERY young. There weren't any ages listed but I could tell they were teens and most not 18. He said he would take it all off of his computer. We were very in love and had sex about 3x a day. About a yr and a half later I came across more very young porn. Some titles actually had ages, 16-20. I lost it! These are guyren! I explained that I was molested and this was a very serious personal issue, that I could not accept. His response was that the girls are absolutely not that young and I was F*king CRAZY! The proof I showed him did me no good, he said it just came along with his downloads for amateur porn. I know he's searching amateur porn just to get these young teens videos and pics, most of which are submitted by x boyfriends. He says he doesn't like real "legal" porn because it's so fake. Well, he said if it was going to cost our relationship he would stop. Here we are three years later and I just caught him again...teen "amateur" porn. Once again, he promised to quit. He is not sexually deprived, what is going on with him? Why does he have to use this kind of porn? Why is it so hard for him to stop? I'm so emotionally broken over this I don't think I can give him a third chance. Any input to help me understand this behavior would be great. One more thing...He absolutely INSISTS that these girls are all at least 18. he can't seriously be that dumb! Can he?? | Yeah this must eat you up on a couple of different levels.
1. He promised to quit. So he should say to himself "I am reformed, that is who I am" to give himself a better mental foundation.
2. Just the fact of looking at porn would affect the trust in your relationship as watching porn is the same as wanting to sleep with the women in the video. I'd say it's best for him to quit all porn. Any other ladies agree with me? If he is so hung up on porn, do your own porn for him to watch that, but then again, how would you trust it doesn't go on the internet...hmmm ok forget doing your own porn :)
3. The fact that you were molested and that he is getting off on watching these girls must be horrific for you darlin. I am so peeved at your man at the moment. (been in a similar situation myself). I think you need to 'speak into his listening' with this one. By that I mean, when you first explained that you were molested and it is very personally distressing for you, he understood, but he didn't really understand to the depth that you experience it. If you put it in different terms of, I'm glad you don't have any cop friends that know you have guydy porn because they would be obliged to tell the state and you'd go to jail for it, can you imagine what happens to paedophiles and guydy porn makers and watchers, yep they get to be the big black dudes bi*ch.. then you find out what molestation is like first hand for 3 years, do you think you could look at the porn again after getting out.. nope I don't think so either.
Actually It would be handy if you knew an enormous black guy & his girl to go to dinner with after having that conversation, you could wisper in his ear... gee look at the size of him, that's probably the size of dude you get as a cell mate, can you imagine the size of his johnson splitting you open.
(Sorry guys, I'm being very graphic here so this guy really gets a sense of how amazingly traumatic it is to be molested as a guy. If I have gone too far because I was in that situation and my anger is showing in what I have written then I apologise. Also, in Australia, political correctness is still growing, so if someone is black we call them black and they call you a white bi*ch and we both laugh)
4. As for knowing some of them are under 18, for sure he does. Deep down he will know. And you can use this; "well I'm no fool honey, either you are lying to yourself they are all 18 or over, or you are lying to me, which is it?" If he hesitates then you have your answer so then tell him "well your hesitation just answered that question, you knew some are under 18 and you are insisting they are above 18 only to justify you watching it, you are no better than a paedophile. you totally disgust me. you have got one chance to respond with what you are going to do for yourself to become a real man and for this relationship. I love you and you had better be thinking quick about what a real man would do now."
I hope the best for you :) | I want to help!? I really want to help the animals of my community. My friend and I plan on serving our Silver Award ( for girl scouts) by doing multiple service projects for animals. I've got ways to raise money like bake sale and dog wash, but I need great ideas. How can I help the animals and raise some money for my own amateur possible foundation?(im a young teen) | | You can try to raise money online, look for ideas on the web/library, or ask Krispy Kreme about their fundraising program. | Anybody need someone for auditions for voice acting (in anime)? Hey there! I think that voice acting sounds like fun, so I was wondering if anyone was doing anything with anime, amateur or professional, that needed voice acting? Btw, I'm a girl and I'm a young teen. :) Thanks! <3 | | voiceacting.proboards.com/index.c… | I am applying for a certificate of arts as tertiary education. How does my personal statement sound? I read to make it interesting and to hook the reader in on the first sentence, hence the strange beginning. I also wanted to show my creativity and to stand out from the rest by starting a little differently to the norm.
What I mainly want to know is how does it sound? Does it sound right? Have I added all that I need? And is my grammar and punctuation correct? I know I need to do something with the commas in the second to last paragraph. Also how can I summarise it with a final paragraph?
Thanks in advance for any help :) Here it is:
Imagine if you will a hideous, ravenous beast. Half human, half creature; its protruding, needle-point fangs are dripping with sticky, red blood. It sinks them again into the girl who screams bloody murder.
“Cut!” Calls a hidden director and the girl walks off unharmed towards a trailer at the edge of the woods. The creature stands up on its hind legs and strides off in a different direction, towards the prosthetics artist who earlier spent 5 hours applying its latex face, contact lenses, and acrylic fangs.
Becoming a special effects prosthetics artist is currently both my passion and my biggest dream. My interest with prosthetics and special effects started when I saw the film “Ginger Snaps” as a young teenager. I found myself in awe at how the transitioning stages between girl and werewolf seemed so realistic. I was soon on the internet researching the processes that were used to create the prosthetics, a hobby which eventually became an obsession.
My name is Leigh Mayson and I am applying for the certificate of arts to eventually lead me towards my dream career of being a prosthetics artist. My long term plan is to finish the Certificate of Arts, leading into the three year Bachelor of Media Arts course, in which I plan to major in sculpture. Once those courses are complete I will take The Advanced Professional Makeup Course run by prosthetics artist legend, Dick Smith. These courses should gain me entrance into Weta Workshops, where I will apply after the five to six years of aforementioned course work are complete. Acceptance into Weta Workshops it tough, but I am confident that with these qualifications I should be a worthy applicant.
Becoming a prosthetics artist has not always been my only artistic aspiration. As a guy and young teen I would spend hours drawing amateur comics and sketches of creatures to suit my previous ambition of becoming a cartoon animator. Currently though, my hobbies are much different. I am now into things such as creating my own amateur prosthetics, mainly false teeth, reading, and writing, which has become a new hobby of mine and another creative outlet.
In the next few years I hope to not only expand my creativity but to also increase the amount of ways I utilise it. For a while now I have been wanting to learn the piano and will hopefully take that up soon too. As I stated writing is a new hobby of mine and I would like to increase my capabilities in that area, I already have plans of publishing a science fiction novel that I have been working on for the past six months. From the Certificate of Arts though, I would like to focus on developing the skills that will help me move towards my future goal of majoring in sculpture and becoming a special effects prosthetics artist. Personally I think that painting is my main weakness and sculpture is my forte. I plan to increase my capabilities in all areas but would like to specifically work on my weaker points to bring them up to standard. | I think it's brilliant!
The only thing I find wrong, and it's rather annoying, is the 'if you will' in the first sentence. Take it out, or put commas in it, so it reads - 'Imagine, if you will, a hideous...'
As far as your grammar and punctuation goes, there doesn't need to be a capital C in calls after 'Cut!'. 'Acceptance into Weta Workshops it tough...' You made a typo ;).
I advise you to proofread through this again at least twice more, you may pick up on some mistakes no-one here has mentioned.
On a side note, playing the piano is extremely helpful, you have no idea how much it can help, and I love Weta Workshops. | Is it a cliche/overused story for a short novel/novella? I'm 13 and I'm an amateur writer.
this story idea just popped out of my mind and I wonder if it's any good.
so this is it.
this very poor girl lives with her family in a farm(province). she's the second eldest among her siblings. All of them were 3 girls. her mom divorced with their dad a few yrs. ago and the mom left them permanently. so they actually make this living by selling their crops and items with the nearby traders/foreigners along with their village. they actually make some good money.
A few months later, she(the main character) discovers an illegal business happening within their village. it is guy/teen prostitution. little girls aging 12 -17 living within their place were being victims of this illegal job. some kind of bad man/recruiter are doing this business. the main character later finds out that her younger sister which is just 14 is being convinced secretly to join the illegal business. Now, she must find a way save her sister and all the girls in her town before it's too late.
is it a cliche?
and sorry for the horrible typing and bad capitalization/punctuation. i was actually rush-typing this.:) | | Every "new" story is just a derivation of about 7 basic plots. If the charachter development is done well and the story is well written (grammar, spelling, sentence structure) a familiar plot can become alive if the story is told well. One begins to notice a rehashed plot if the story itself is not well written. Plus there are always plot twists that can make a story unpredictable and keep a readers interest. | How can you bridge a generation gap in a relationship? Only slightly younger than Elvis, I became very close to a woman half my age, and when I met her parents I learned that her father was the guy in her class that my younger sister had a crush on in gradeschool, and her mother was in my late wife's graduating class-- seven years younger than mine! So I have a generation-and-a-half age gap with my girlfriend and a half-generation gap with her parents! The problem: we are friends and we all love music, but my music tastes are either forties and fifties classics or else what my amateur musician guys, barely out of their teens, listen to and perform. I like to hear my sons and their friends play and sing, but my girl doesn't, and if we go to dances with her parents they play 1965 Tom Jones Engelbert Humperdinck goobledegoop, and when I take her out its a long night of high-fructose eighties electro-fake! I love these people, but would yoga help? Earplugs? (They now have some for older people that look like hearing aids.) | | You're either going to have to accept the differences between you all or find a girlfriend closer to your age or with the same musical interests. Even that won't guarantee that you have the same tastes though. Nor will it guarantee a successful relationship. That has to be worked at with even the most seemingly "perfect" of couples. | Need Help with Book Idea? I need help on deciding on which idea to use in a book i've been wanting to write for awhile (I actualy wrote to about 40 pgs but it got erased *sniff*) but now that I've been thinking about my ideas have changed.
It's mainly about a girl that has gone through genetic engineering, gene's mixed in with a differnt animal species (dont really want to get into detail about it, and I know sounds kinda lame but I've got some good ideas)
When I first wrote the 40 pg thing, the girl had been in a program for being put into experiments (kinda like an orphanage....but for experiments...) but now I think I want her to be experimented (whatever) when she's at a young age since a certain stem cell I think is needed for restructing organs (and yada yada) and I dont think doing that in your teen years is possible? or maybe of being in a man-made wound like being created with the two-genes already combined or something like that
And I had her mixed with bird genes (kinda like an angel...) but I dont know about that anymore. So I dont know which gene's would work. Got any exciting idea? Like what characteristic would come with the gene?
I know that this seems kinda like a dumb book idea and kinda amateur, ha! But I cant get into detail on here so it sounds wierd lol. So what idea's sound better? Or what would you think be a good idea (or whatever)? | To hold my interest I would go with the orphanage idea. I think it is more plausible, and she'd had gone through a rough time being in an orphanage, and with being experimented on it will make her more determined and strong willed. this would hold my interest. but the story has to come from within you. Start to write and let the characters tell you where they want to go. Writing is like watching a movie in your head and you [the author] is writing it down.
I joined a writing community called www.chapteread.com. I think you might find it useful. They have a private writing area where you can organize your writings and its really easy! [you don;t have to post if you don't want to ] They have some great writing tools and posting features for getting critiques and reviews. The other writers give helpful advice. Worth checking out! |
