This story should be good. I'll work on it as I go, but please, try to keep comments to a minimum. This first post, however, will be where I post my latest ideas. Please don't suggest any ideas, this is my story and I'd like to keep it original. I will ask if I need help. IDEAS: - Meteor shower
- Car wreck
- Art contest
- Christmas
- ti
tle: Beautiful Little Fool, part of Daisy's quote from The Great Gatsby
NEED HELP: - Location (Florida, possibly, or California? Someplace where you can surf)
- Names (I am HORRIBLE with names!)
- I need a ti
tle, preferably something that would fit in the quotes:
"I'm such a ." or
"Well, then you're my ." Or both.

Chapter 1 My eyes shot open. I was sweating again, the kind of cold sweat that only follows these dreams. It wasn't even dawn yet. I rolled over and looked at the clock. 4:03 am. Three hours until I had to get up for school, but I'd slept later than normal. Usually it was only 1 in the morning. I ran my fingers through my hair. It was soaked. I grabbed a towel and some clothes, then walked out of my room. to get to the bathroom, I had to p*censored* the living room, where I knew my dad was p*censored*ed out drunk on the couch, like always. I slipped into the bathroom and shut the door as quietly as I could. I turned on the water, making sure it was steaming, then slipped in and tried to calm down. I kept replaying my dream over and over in my head. Even after eleven years, it still felt like my mom had just died yesterday. I stood there until the water went cold, but I still stood there for a while. I only climbed out when I started shivering. I toweled off, got dressed, and walked back into my room. It was almost 6, so I still had time to kill. WRITER'S BLOCK HELP JUST GIVE ME A FEW WORDS

Hm....nice. So far, at least. As far as titles....probably need more of the story to figure that out. The ti
tle is usually one of the last things that goes. My novel Haunted didn't get named until 6 months after I finished it. And The Moonlight Hunter took hours of staring blankly at the word doc skimming through it to come up with something.
I'M BACK!!! ...sorta. And now I'm in love with Jesse McCartney! He's hot.

I agree with Nessie, the ti
tle is almost always one of the last things I come up with. x3 It's easier that way, anyhow. Carla has the same birthday as me, btw. <3

While I moderatly agree about titles being last part of a story, I just thought I might as well throw out an idea for a ti
tle. Based on the first chapter I thought "Dreams of a never ending circumstance" sounded nice. |
