My story.

Hmm it has some mistakes, hope you like it anyway. :)
Here we go:

It was just another usual day at the hotel by the bright ocean. There were only a few clouds in the sky and the wind was blowing gently. There was no new guests around, except two. No one had been counting the days there, but it was supposed to be a midspirng day.
A slender young man was wandering around the coast, grumbling, with his hands in his pockets. His black hairas neither short nor long, his greey eyes seemed obviously confused but also a bit excited. He was like looking for something he had lost.
“Austin?” said the manager to himself, who was taking a glance at the young man from his office’s window. “Austin.”
However, Austin was too busy to realize him watch, with his head in the clouds, lost in deep thoughts. He had never wanted to come here, he even hadn’t any memories about him and his sister’s childhood. “Think it as a holiday.” He murmured patiently. “No more than a holiday.” Then, he kept on searching for his missing backpack.
He didn’t notice the sparking-eyed girl of medium height approaching either. Anyone could say she was so cheerful –maybe a bit more than necessary under those conditions- because she was smiling even when she came nearer the young man who didn’t look to be content about anything at that moment.
They accidentally ran into each other. “Ouch!” cried Austin as though he had been dreaming, but when their eyes met, he became much nicer. The girl looked extremely sorry for what had happened. There was something different about her. No, nothing at all when you take a look: her golden hair was surrounding her long face, her skin was pretty pale and she had some childish freckles. No different than a usual 21-years-old girl. But the only eye catching thing about her was the look in her giggling eyes.
-Oh sorry, said Austin.
-No problem.
-So… It’s Austin, what about you?
The girl paused for a while and slightly smiled, Austin was kind of amazed that he didn’t even wonderwhy.
-Amanda.
They sat there on a rock and talked for a few hours. Austin had already forgotten what he was doing and why. The whole world was way more meaningful than it had ever been, everything was marvellous –including the little butterflies in his stomach- and even the manager of the hotel might not be suspicious about his weird manners. But all of a sudden his backpack came up to his mind so he stared around. Then, he heard Amanda’s friendly voice:
-Is this yours?
-Oh yes! Where was it?
-Ahh I found it just over there.
-Thanks, thanks!
He looked at his watch, not sure how much time passed by. It was already half past ten. He knew he had to leave for his meeting and sighed.
-Oh no. I had better go now. I’m almost late.
He really meant what he said. He didn’t want to go away at all.
-See you soon! said Amanda and smiled expressively.
Austin grabbed his backpack and rushed into the entrance where he should have been waiting at for his stepsister. She must already have been there. He sat on a bank next to the door, and looked for the piece of paper on which some instructions about the meeting was written, for a while.
Instead, he found another one which said, “Hey brother. “

Comment by Mel Cotton on June 10, 2013 at 7:30pm: Hi all. I have no idea if this is where I'm supposed to post a general hello. I'm Mel and I'm here to meet other writers, network, find inspiration, get feedback and keep motivated. I'm excited to meet other writers and talk shop. I'm working on a novel at the moment, and I feel like I'm in over my head a bit, but oh well. Nice to meet you all. :)

Comment by Monica Isabel on June 2, 2013 at 3:53pm: Thanks Matilda! I started using your tips and it really has helped. I've already got some stuff written down and later I'm gonna start to elaborate more on it so I can actually turn it into a story or something. Let's see what happens. It really has helped. :)

Comment by Veronika on June 2, 2013 at 10:49am: PS the deadline is September first

Comment by Veronika on June 2, 2013 at 10:49am: A Nerdfighter and I are trying to get a book published.

We're looking for books that nerdfighters have written. We really want your submissions! The general idea is that we would get nerdfighters to submit their work and then other nerdfighters would pick the best one. The best one would get edited and printed.

PLEASE send us your work. Contact me for more information. and check out the entire thing http://nerdfighters.ning.com/forum/topics/nerdfigher-publishing

THANK YOU

Comment by Matilda Tyler on May 30, 2013 at 7:09pm: Monica, tip for writing
First, write he odd snippets of ideas on notecards and keep them safe. Bits of dialogues, plot twists, it helps.
Second, when you are trying to write and can't, write for five minutes the first thing that comes to your mind without stopping. Keep writing I don't know what to write if that's what u keep thinking.
Hope I helped!

Comment by Matilda Tyler on May 30, 2013 at 7:06pm: Hello everyone, I have a blog

Comment by Monica Isabel on May 30, 2013 at 12:26pm: I feel as if I have a lot of great stories to tell and yet I cant seem to get anything on paper. So many day-dreams, so many fantasies yet whenever I sit down and try to write something I go blank, overthink things and end up writing nothing. This summer I'm determined to finally be able to get some writing done and see how it goes. I gotta find out if I'm any good.

Comment by Amber Palma on May 28, 2013 at 10:52pm: I created a short story long ago and recently got back into it. I edited it and would like some advice and reviews.

(I just signed up for Figment and it's amazing. I plan on having more stories later)

Comment by Hayden Richardson on May 28, 2013 at 8:39am: Hey everyone, I'm starting a new novel, novella, a long story of sorts. I should be done with the first chapter by tomorrow night, however I'd like some external imput on the overall idea of the story. It's kinda out there. Actually is super out there. By my writing standards at least. :P
