I am in love with acting, I simply LOVE doing musicals. Musicals are an incredible experience, but it is NEVER something I'd want as a profession.
I will do acting until college, that's when I'll put it down and start writing again. But what REALLY caused me to want to be an author, was my mother forced me to do a writing class in third grade. I was a third grader in a full class of eighth graders, and I was the best writer there. My acting teacher is incredible, but she moved to Dallas. We still email and everything, she critiques my stories and gives me tips on how to get published. She also told me that I don't need to worry about getting an agent for a while, I'll go to a writing critique club with friends in college and then I'll worry about an agent and getting published and such.

I was just happily prancing along, reading the bloody board with my eyes half-closed, when I see that one word that I bloody well hate. Pagan. e_e God, everyone calls me a pagan just for not being Christian. -.- But I guess I'll spare everyone, eh?
Let's see... Warriors, initially, I think, wanted to be for a 11-15 audience. But after she published the first book, she found that alot of people that picked up her book were children. Young children. So she morphed it from there, turning it into more of a children's book. ): I dunno, I always thought the first book was meant for an older audience. ):
JK Rowling I never found to be particularly all that satisfying. She did manage to reach out, though. With her first few books. After that, knowing she had her audience, she slacked off. Books became worse, in my eyes.
I haven't heard of most of the books you guys are talking about.. (Malaysia is a very backward country. Deal with it.)
If I was lucky enough to be an author... I would write quite a few books. xD a/ My lame gladiator book b/ My Sci-fi idea c/ And the Song of Glory trilogy xD

I hate warriors now. The first series was incredible, the second was okay... I am NEVER going to read it again, and if I do it's so that I can be caught up. I LOATHE The sight, it was the WORST BOOK I'VE EVER READ. You know the VERY first sign of a bad author? They don't know when to quit. Authors need to stop writing that particular series before they go overboard. And I've also considered many careers: First it was a teacher. Then it was a singer. Then it was a chef, then it was an interior designer. And now and author. I loved The Sight. But you know the reason why I loved it and it seemed that the rest of the world hated it? I loved loved LOVED Jaypaw. And everybody else except my Mum seemed to want to bash his face in for no particular reason except that he wasn't always a happy kitty, who skipped around picking buttercups and singing songs from Sesame Street.(Actually.. that'd be pretty scary if a cat started doing that. XD) Hmm... I dunno if she's a bad author.. you can't blame her for wanting to write more. There's a quote I loved... Better to write for yourself and have no public, than write for the public and have no self. Maybe Erin Hunter likes writing her Warrior books just because she likes writing them!Maybe they don't give a d**n that every teen in the country think they suck(except for Stormy, and she's just plain weird.), maybe they just wanna write and maybe get published. Blame Lemony Snickette(or however you spell it..) for writing a really sucky thirteen story series, who don'tcha?

I was not addressing you, and I'm used to saying pagan, since the most socialization I've been doing lately offline has been with my Dad's Lutheran book club. And whaddyaknowit? They call non-Christians pagans. Would you rather I said heathen? or perhaps infidel? (joking, joking..)

Making your readers hate you as in they really hate you, or the ending is so incredible that they hate you for not making it continue? I LOATHE books that don't have a hanglider. I like books that make me want to read more because they constantly...GAHH. Like Running out of Time by Margaret Peterson Haddix. BIG Hanglider. Okay. My idea is this: I won't tell you the whole plot, but there's this fairy princess, and then her older brother who just about every girl in the story(not counting his sister, of course) is madly in love with, and is just so COOL. And then at the end of the story.. after I build up his character, and make people really REALLY like him, I'm gonna kill 'im off. So they're gonna hate me! -gleeful grin- The only stories I'd ever consider publishing are, Thyme my Witches Circle series and my play, Pugnanity.

Infidel would be much cooler, actually. =D
I started to hate Warriors when the characters changed. I've said it time and time again. xDD I only hate Jaypaw because he is the spawn of Squirrelheart who was the spawn of Firestar. D:< -stabs Firestar twenty milli-yun times- D:< FVCK YOU AND YOUR KIN, FIREFACE D:< -kicks-

'Incest; Fun for the whole family!' xDDD

D:< -stabs Firestar twenty milli-yun times- D:< FVCK YOU AND YOUR KIN, FIREFACE D:< -kicks- not neccesarily ^^ Mmkay, think about this: Hollypaw is black. Squirrelflight, Tigerstar, Brambleclaw, Mothwing, Hawkfrost, Firestar, Leafpool, NONE of them are black. But, Leafpool fell in love with Crowfeather. -GASP- HE'S black, isn't he? Squirrelflight's milk never came. Quote from Brambleclaw's thoughts in SUNSET : 'Prey was running around even better now that new-leaf had arrived, even Leafpool looked more plump than usual.' They had a script that Erin hunter wrote, I have no idea WHAT it was from, but it's on amazon! If I dig around, i'll give you guys the link. I've read it! It said Leafpool going up to Crowfeather saying: I need to talk to you about something, it's rather urgent. Crowfeather: What do you need to talk to me for? We ended it. Leafpool: Crowfeather, I'm sorry. I really need to talk to you - Crowfeather: I have to get back to camp, where I'm still loyal. I have Nightcloud waiting for me. Leafpool: Nightcloud? Crowfeather: Yes, she had my kits last moon. Leafpool : Oh, nevermind then. Something like that. What if LEAFPOOL GOT PREGNANT? YES, THAT WOULD MAKE ME LOVE THE SERIES DEFINITELY GAHH, IF ERIN HUNTER WAS THAT GENIUS..I swear

That's because, as much as you may deny it, you are a romantic at heart, Smiley. ;D

OH! I found the exact script:
Location The narrow, overgrown stream that runs through the woods at the edge of the moor, which marks the border between ThunderClan and WindClan.
Time Early leaf-fall, two moons after the death of Hawkfrost on ThunderClan territory in mysterious circumstances.
Leafpool is waiting for Crowfeather in the shelter of a holly bush. As he walks along the border on the other side of the stream, she pops out. He has no idea she's there.
LEAFPOOL: Crowfeather, wait! CROWFEATHER: What?! Leafpool, what are you doing here? LEAFPOOL: I...I wanted to see you. CROWFEATHER (Wary, glancing around him to check no one's watching): Why? LEAFPOOL (surpised): Because it's moons since I spoke to you! And...and there's something I think you should know. CROWFEATHER (bitter): No, there isn't, Leafpool. You don't have to tell me anything any more. We belong to different Clans, remember? LEAFPOOL: Why are you being like this? It was hard for me too, you know. But ThunderClan needs me to be their medicine cat. I don't have any choice. CROWFEATHER: You did have a choice, and you chose to stay with them! Look, I shouldn't be talking to you. What if someone sees us? My Clanmates have only just begun to trust me again, and that's mostly thanks to Nightcloud. LEAFPOOL: Nightcloud? Why? CROWFEATHER (looking uncomfortable): She...she had my kits last moon. Onestar's going to announce it at the next Gathering. LEAFPOOL (stunned, in a small voice): Oh. I didn't know. CROWFEATHER: Well, what did you think I'd do? Let my Clanmates go on thinking I was more loyal to ThunderClan? Nightcloud's a great cat, and a good mother. LEAFPOOL (cutting him off): You were right, Crowfeather. We don't have anything to say to each other now. Goodbye.

Oh, BTW Fudgey - I pwn joo. Texas ( in MY city ) Winter : This was in Winter 2005, yes, LOVELY isn't it? Texas ( in MY city ) Spring: Yes, it DOES look pretty sweet. But, you see, this is a day where it's not an AVERAGE of 80% humidity. Before you ask, YES, my city has gotten up to 100% humidity before. Texas ( in MY city, for the last time ) Summer: Yes, this looks pretty sweet too. But, you see, THIS year in my city we've had three months of summer. May 27 to August 27. Well, two of those months it rained AT LEAST once EVERY SINGLE DAY. No kid. And, every day for ALL THREE MONTHS it was OVER 95 degrees by noon. LOVELY! Texas ( yes, in my city ) Autumn: Mhmm, this is when it starts getting cold. Well, Autumn is honestly the BEST season in Houston. Winter is my favorite season ever. And when you love the cold, it's gotta be hot year round.
