...Now I have to look at that thing on my profile??? *gazes with morbid delight*

Your book sounds sooo cool im probebly going to be one of the first poeple to buy it...and im sure your going to get it publishes like right away cause anyone who dosent like that is like stupid or something...my books on the other hand need a lot of work, but i have my whole life a head of me...writting is like a hoby and i dont plan to make a career out of it, but i really really like to write and whats what makes it fun!!!

Funny, writing's also a side hobby for me, too! (I've been doing it for almost 6 years!) But yeah, it takes a while to get it just right. I'm in no hurry either. I don't see myself getting published for at least 3 or 5 years just because I'm self-publishing. It's going to cost me thousands to do it, but this is so I avoid major publishing companies cutting up my work - I say, "What's the point of writing if you can't write what you intended?" Censorship is the stupidest thing. I'm also going to put colored scenes above the chapter titles - it's good to have both writing and artistic talent, isn't it?

You should tell me about your story. I'm curious!

Hey, thaks for telling me about your stories, the way you descibed them sounds really cool, it made me want to read more...all my pics i draw our based off of four series that im kind of working on now...i recently finished a book in the first series that i started, but its still in the developing stage..i have to proof read it(grrr), but anyways your books sound really cool and glade that you like my dragons!!!

Don't you just love writing? You get to make the rules! You get to write the story you absolutely want to read. Like you, my art is based more or less off my story, or at least the lives of my characters.

Trust me - proof reading is addicting. With my story, I'll eventually get to the stage where I will be satisfied and stop editing it (well, until I hire an editor besides myself). I find myself adding on each time I do it, or I find myself cutting scenes that don't really make sense or that make me fall asleep. I'm self-taught, but I'm not close-minded. I learned so much while writing. I don't read a whole lot, but then again, every little sentence I do read, I apply the technique to correct mistakes, or to add onto my writing style.

Astro is not just my main character, but he's also mute: how do you write about a mute main character? Simply put, he speaks telepathically. I use *This,** as his telepathic quotations! Cool, huh? I violate a lot of sentence structures to pull off cool effects, like for a dramatic pause, I'll finish one paragraph...

...

And then I'll pick it up with the dots in between like what I just did. Or, I'll go...

...?

To indicate the character pausing in a state of confusion or question. It really works, but I don't use it often just so I don't overuse it. Even more rarely, I'll use an ! as one whole paragraph to indicate shock or a shock during a character pause. You should try it, it's quite effective for creating suspenseful effects.

My story has what's called Combatdragons - Fire, Moon, Volt, Tectonic, Weather, Exotic. Then two special dragons called the Cosmicdragon of Psy, and the Helldragon of Shade. They're dragons with Mystic-type power that if you collect their stones, it makes you stronger in your Mystic element (Star Mystic, Sun Mystic, Rose Mystic, Mystic Blade) - which are metaphysical energy battle types. And...in the beginning of my story there's a monster dragon called the Bloody Eye Dragon - typical black dragon, red glowing eyes, only it has the power to make you lose control of your body. If you spread your 'red eye' spell on others, others will spread it in a domino-effect - it eventually kills. Bloody Eye Dragon is from the neighboring planet, which is in war with the one he's invaded for a better term.

While everything in the story is extremely violent, Astro's role in the story is a catalyst, but hero prodigy as well - he starts one thing in the very, very beginning of the story, something as innocent as setting a phoenix griffon free so he can have a little girl watch over it while he goes to fix other problems. Astro's plan is to fix the remaining problem, and then after he's finished, he'll set the phoenix griffon free so it can fly into the sun, fueling the deathstar for 300 more years. The phoenix griffon frees itself from the little girl early. In the middle of Astro's progress, the phoenix griffon caused an early solar flare, which cut off communications. This thwarted Astro's progress - he knew psychically the griffon would cause a solar flare, which is why he didn't want it to fly into the sun until he was finished with his plans. Because the communications were down, certain messages were crossed, delayed, or canceled, and the wrong information was given to the enemy army. Astro tried fixing these new problems, but it got worse and worse. The one tiny thing with the phoenix griffon has this domino-effect. It actually is the indirect cause for a war.

Sounds cool, huh? The whole point of the story is to change the evil mind with the heart. Even though the story is extremely gory and violent, Astro does everything in his power not to create revenge or cause violence, or hurt even his worst enemy, just to let them see for themselves what pain they're really causing (if they do not learn from his voice). Astro is the best fighter on the planet - he can catch multiple bullets fired at him at once, and that's barely scratching the surface. This sort of lack of the need to cause pain is where Astro pays for it hardcore. For as much violence as he tries to stop, it all comes back at him - it all spirals out of his control...yet he doesn't give up even when it's about to kill him, nor does he attempt to fight. Astro's determined to prove his point that the evil mind can be overcome by the heart...but at the same time, he has his own psychotic tendencies and scary flashbacks to deal with.

And that's where Amaya comes in...the other main character.

I can't wait to get it published!
