Alexia350: What happened?! Everything looks funny 0_0
    Phyllis Stewart: It's only this page from what I can see. The text is HUGE. It's probably only because FS is working on it. Can't help but compare this new release to the Obamacare site... not ready for prime time. Test, test, test before releasing anything. Hope they've learned their lesson. :) -


Alexia350: OK, I condensed chapter 2 of the Golden Book, and decided to put it like part 1 and then the next post will be part 2, if it is still to long, I will condense it even further :p (Also does anyone have a suggestion for the title since there are two books mentioned in the children's book, thanks!)


Alexia350: Ok! Chapter 2 of the Golden Book has been posted and I promoted it, hopefully it worked. It is quite long and don't know if I should cut it. Let me know. Enjoy!


Alexia350: >.< didn't realize that a children's book is hard to get reviewed. grr, taking forever, oh well, sigh.


Alexia350: I haven't spoken for quit a while on my profile thoughts, heh. Hi, I am back. I plan on concentrating on the books--Estaldin and Star Rider. I also may write some humorous short work stories since I actually love doing those for short works. I may also be thinking about posting a book which I won from the top 10 writers in that contest in New York titled: The Golden Book. Let me know what you think, Thanks :D


Alexia350: Psst! does anyone know what the use advanced editor do? 0_0 I have never tried clicking on that! I know, I am funny! ahahaahah! And any tips as to how and when to use semicolons? Trying to expand my horizon, ahahaha!
    michaelcahill: Advanced editor has more options for fonts and colors and backgrounds. You can make yourself more PUUURRRTY! Semicolons are mysterious visitors from other planets trying to infiltrate our writing... -
    Alexia350: ahahahahaahahah!! Ok! thanks for the information! ^-^ -
    nor84: Semicolons are the only unnecessary bit of punctuation, as I believe author Noah Lukeman says in his book "A Dash of Style". They are very easy to overuse or misuse. Not good to use in dialog as it annoys some readers. -
    vapros: I avoid semicolons whenever I can. I often use a dash, with a space before and after. I don't have any idea whether that's recommended or not, but it's one of my favorite weapons. (I'm not very conventional.) -
    nor84: the dash -- and the ellipsis ... are both OK unless they're overused and start to stand out. The story should stand out, not its punctuation. -
    Alexia350: thanks! I appreciate the advice! ^-^ -


Alexia350: Chapter 3 of Star Riders is out! Enjoy! It is small I know. But still, it is a good start for not writing in it for so long. ahaahah!


Alexia350: I haven't written in so long! Just so you all know I have written the last chapter in Dark shades of Evil! 0_0 now I got to figure out which of the other ones do I want to continue! Breathless sleep without a doubt but, what else...Welp, hear them crickets chirp! ahahahaha!


Alexia350: I need to stop using so many commas! I will get there! :)
    nor84: Try reading your work aloud. A comma should be used where you would naturally pause. It should never be placed between adjective and subject or between subject and verb. It should ALWAYS be placed when someone is spoken to, as in "Hello, Mary." -
    Alexia350: Thank you very much! I always get confused on that! :) -


Alexia350: I looked up what a semicolon does since I forgot what it does and used it. :) I got to take a class again in grammar! Though, I will have to take composition in the spring.....oh, dear me....I can do it. Ha!


Alexia350: Chapter 2 of Breathless Sleep is out! Let me tell you, it will make you question what will happen next? Enjoy!


Alexia350: Chapter 1 of Breathless sleep is out! Be prepared though, you MIGHT jump out of your seat.......Might.....


Alexia350: I have written a prologue for a new book that I literally dreamed of last night. It is well done! Hope you enjoy!


Alexia350: sigh, I am a little down....You might all see me tomorrow with chapter 8 for the shades of evil. either tomorrow or the next day.....I wrote too much and got good ratings. I need lessons, but will wait until I get some work. So see ya all later! :)


Alexia350: I will even slowly read my own work carefully, CAREFULLY. I will even read my dictionary for words never used before! Bring it!


Alexia350: All right! I have made a multi-author book. First chapter written. It is detailed and composes of aweness. If grammer is found wrong, bring it! I will not settle for less. Thanks!


Alexia350: if it came down to it, I am not particularly a person who knows when to end a story, there is an ending. I just don't know how to start a short work and end it. I might need some ideas, that may help......


Alexia350: okay, I hopefully fixed chapter 1! :( Does anybody know what you do in short work?


Alexia350: Chapter 1 of Star Rider is out! :) Enjoy!


Alexia350: Muahahahaha! All chapters in the shades of evil are now past tense! thanks!


Alexia350: Chapter 1 is fully, at least to me in past tense now! :) Even I felt involved in my own read! hehe!


Alexia350: Okay, expect change! I know how to write in past tense, I was just seeing what I could do in present tense. :) thanks!


Alexia350: Okay, tell me straight up! Cause I will change it to past tense if it makes it easier and more involved! Should I change my chapters in Shades of evil? And I will start changing Sounds of Awakening to past tense as well, to see if it does better....
    redrider6612: I personally prefer past tense, but you have to do what works for you. Some stories go better in present tense. It takes more skill to write well in present tense, but if your readers are telling you present tense isn't working, you might consider changing.

Alexia350: Okay, I corrected some things in chapter 1! I hope you enjoy, let me know if I still need some detail. I wonder can you tell where this story will lead you? Secret!! You'll have to read and find out!


Alexia350: Okay chapter 1 of the Sound of Awakening is out! Hope you enjoy! Stay tuned!


Alexia350: chapter 7 is out! hope you enjoy!
    DIS-illusioned: When that chapter comes back in, let me know; I want a word with it. -
    Alexia350: BAHAHAHAHAHA!! It will never come back in! I think..... -


Alexia350: okay, I changed awakening chapter to a prologue first. Hope you enjoy!!
    DIS-illusioned: Couldn't you have allowed that chapter to stretch and brush its teeth first before changing it? -
    Alexia350: HAHAHAHAHA!! No, it will come back with itself becoming chapter 1. -


Alexia350: okay, there we go! I finished editing, chapter 6 doesn't need any because I used the same tense hopefully anyways! hope you like it!
    DIS-illusioned: Oh, but chapter 6 does need some. We all need some. Never good not to get any.
    Wait...what are we talking about here? -
    Alexia350: :) hehe!! ok! I will check chapter 6! thanks! -


Alexia350: chapter 4 edited!
    DIS-illusioned: And what did chapter 4 edit?
    (Ah, the charm of the comma!) -
    Alexia350: :) hehehe! tense and some other things that it needed. thanks for asking! -


Alexia350: chapter 3 edited!


Alexia350: chapter 2 is edited!


Alexia350: Yo, I am editing some of my chapters. Making corrections to them, let me know what you think? thanks. So far I have edited chapter 1.


Alexia350: Pfft! Hope you enjoy chapter 6! Chapter 7 will be out before you know it! hehe!!


Alexia350: um, heheehee!! My birthday is in 16 days and I am beginning to here whispers when I ain't around! I wonder what they are planning........
    DIS-illusioned: The best excuse for forgetting your day, and not getting you jack. -
    Alexia350: hehehehe!! hahahahaha!! I saw a bag of something! I just pretended I didn't notice! :) -


Alexia350: Stay tuned for Chapter 6! It will be a ride! hahahahaha!!


Alexia350: hahahaha!! I recently this year joined a writing contest that was being held at the Phoenicia library!! I received a letter in the mail stating that I have been selected as one of the twelve winners!! I am so happy!!


Alexia350: hmmm, I have yet to write chapter 5. I am giving myself time to let it flow to me, I will probably write it tomorrow! stay tuned!


Alexia350: hello there! I would like to say that I like reading poetry though I will say I can rhyme but am not good at writing it down, so I leave that to others. But when I read poetry to myself, I get excited and start writing a book, I also do this when listening to music. I also like watching it as I form the words and personalities to the characters! I have always wanted to write stories, though I am fairly new to it. I wrote here and there as a child.
