here ill post a snipit and if anyone like really dont like it i'll delete it
He walked over to me and sat down with a smile, in his hand a fresh bouquet of flowers. Today was Friday, which meant no school for a few days, just us, in an open field having a picnic like two friends should. I leapt up but before I could do anything a shot echoed in my ears, he screamed out in pain, I couldn’t move my world as I knew it had just ended, we died together that day me and him, only of different deaths, him from a shot wound, me from a broken heart, my friend as I knew him was gone.
here i hope you like it.

I'm game! However, I prefer to give constructive criticism/praise privately.

You can email me at [email protected] if you'd like.

I really do not think I could help because I don't exactly know how to write a book like you do. But I saw the little bit of it and I thought it was really good!! :) I would love to, if you would want a 12 year old to help you! Good luck!:D I bet you will sell lots of copies of it and get lots and lots of money;).

No but that would be fun to do though i might have to try im thinking of changing the story a little so i can personallize it some more, WAIT just got an idea, i really need dog names, if you type your dog names or just a name that you like i will inclued them in the book so basically all you can make the dog characters, just like give me a name, breed, personality or distigishing features then if i can ever find some one to publish my book ill put all your names(or nicknames) in the credits, if you'd like.

Here you go:

heres another snip-it

I sat half way jumped up with a cold sweat all over me, breathing so hard I thought I collapse. As my breathing slowed I realized it was all just a dream, I relaxed, then panicked again realizing why I woke up in the first place, my ears frantically searching for the sound that had woke me. I relaxed again, recognizing the familiar sound. It was Alex.
here hope you like
