Only with my friends. I'm still in the working out the details. Perhaps it is because it has a lot of story and little time. Anyways, my family know I want to be a writer. My dad thinks I can. I guess it is because I've always been creative.

I'm still on the names of my characters, :( although I have the story plot already written down.

I just started on another book two days ago, not much written though, still thinking about the story.

I have lots of Redwall stories going in my mind, just trying to choose which ones to write. ::)

I had started a book a while ago about dragons; however, a lot of things ended up being very similar to other things.  For example, I'd had an idea where the dragons could store life energy in gems and use them later - third Eragon book comes out, guess what Eragon learns he can do?  The resistance-against-the-bad-guy group was slightly similar to the Varden, too.  And one of the locations in my book was a lot like one of the levels from a Spyro game I'd been playing; I think I'd come up with it after having a dream based on the game.   And the names - the villain's name ended up being a last name that's apparently common round here (I hadn't heard it, but my mom went to school with somebody with that name, and now at church I've seen that name), and the main character was named Celestia, but now My Little Pony Friendship is Magic has an important character named Celestia, and that's all anyone would think about.  When you add up everything in the book, it just seemed like too many similarities, and the book world and plot didn't have quite the depth I'd hoped for, so I quit. 

I really haven't written any stories or anything lately, just tons of essays.  Probably my most recent story was one I'd written two years ago for an English class - it was about a group of teenage shapeshifters, and I'd thought it was quite good.  It surprises me that it's been so long, since I really do love writing.

Maybe I'll write a Warrior Cats fanfiction next; I haven't done that in about five years, and I could write so much better now.

I've started on a book, it's not a sequel to Redwall, however, it is set in mid evil time.

Really?!?!?! I'm writing a medieval book too!! *highfives* I wish I was alive in medieval time, it was sooo cool. but yes, I am writing a book I am planning on trying to get published!
Yes, I might be posting it on Redwall soon enough.  ;D ;D

I am happy to announce that I have my main antagonist's name, and I'm unhappy to announce that now I've had to take the name I had for the main character and choose a new one. Sigh... :-\

Here's a sample of my work.

Golden Warriors
A tale of Andrew the Warrior and
Lord Wolfspain.
Chapter 1   A slave no more.
Move ye danged slaves! Move I tell ye!
Krakens general Mason was threatining to whip any  one who he thought
"deserved" it. Finally he did let loose, on an old man.
Come old man! Faster, Faster!
But suddenly his whip stopped in mid swing. A young slave had hold of it.
Leave him alone! Can't you pick on some one besides the elder ones!?
Let go o' my whip or I'll use it on ye!
Try me, scum!!
Mason tried to pull back on the whip, only to fall back as Andrew let go of the torture tool.
I'll have yer' innards fer lunch today slave!!
More the other way around! You can hardly pick up a pebble, let alone a fork!
Then Mason unsheathed his blade.
How about a sword!?
But then, with lightning speed Andrew picked up a piece of hot iron.
The other guards tried to intercept Andrew, only to be singed by the hot metal in Andrew's possession.
Whats going on here!?
M'Lord Kraken, there's a slave with a piece of hot iron, he's killed ten soldiers already!!
Don't be stupid, nobody is that skilled with a weapon!!
Yes sire he has and he's still on the loose.
Oh yeah? Let me see this Warrior of a slave!
One by one they fell, Andrew un-fazed by all who challenged him.

This is not the entire chapter, but like I said it's a sample.
Tell me how you liked it.
And yes I did get the idea from MTW, but I made it a little more actiony.

I know what you mean, I started a book related to redwall but I need to figure out names so that I can continue it.

My book (and possibly any sequels after it) combined with my card game should get me out of worring about money. (If they're successes, of course... ;) )
