@wolfkit just got to read your sample. I agree with animal about the punctuation and separate paragraphs for each speaker (it was a little hard to stay on track with who was talking/thinking), but it sounds amazing other than that!!! Now I really want to know what happened outside the cave!

{I'm gonna skip this sample lol} Here's the first chapter of another book I'm writing {I just thought of the book and made the sample as I went}

"Marissa, we're home!" the voice called. Home? What's that? More importantly, can I eat it? I'm hungry! thought the week-old baby. Footsteps pounded the ground and there came an eager squeal, followed by the words:

"It's so cute! But... why is she so pink? She looks like a mole rat from MineCraft!" The baby wondered what she had meant. Is a mole rat food? But I'm not food! The baby began to wail. Don't eat me! Don't eat me! I just want food, it doesn't mean I'm food! A soothing voice comforted her as one of the other ones began moaning. "Is she going to be like this all the time?"

"Be patient, Marissa," another voice scolded lightly. "Can you go see if she needs milk? Remember the formula in the fridge?"

"Yes, mom..." the voice faded away, then it spoke again. "I got the stupid milk,"

"That's normal milk, Marissa. John, can you get the milk, please?"

"Yes, honey."

"Anything to shut that thing up," muttered the other voice.

"Marissa!" scolded the other one. Who's Marissa, anyway? I just want food!



Emily teetered on the ground, her legs wobbly. "Mama!" she wailed. "Mama, mama, mama!" Mama was crouching a few feet away, encouraging Emily on with sweet words.

"That's right, that's right! Come on, come to mama!" Emily fell down, wailing and screaming. Mama rushed up to her and picked her up, carrying her over to the nearest table. "Aw, do you have a boo-boo?" she asked as she looked over a bruise on Emily's knee.

There was a knocking on the door. "I'll get it!" called Daddy's voice from downstairs. He ran up the stairs and opened the door. Mama turned around instantly as she saw who it was. Who is that? Hey, look! He has something shiny on him. I wonder what that is?

The man pulled out a wallet from his clothing and presented something to Mama and Daddy. "Federal agent of the F.B.I." he explained.

"What's wrong? Why are you here?" Daddy inquired.

"Sir, we need to take your child into custody." his eyes flicked toward Emily. Daddy and Mama gasped. What was so wrong? What was 'custody?'

"She's only ten months old!" Mama exclaimed.

"There's someone looking for her, and it's too dangerous to keep her here. I promise, we'll take good care of her. And we'll move you two and your older daughter into the witness protection program." Mama and Daddy rushed up to Emily, and Mama picked her up while Daddy continued,

"Who's searching for her? We can keep a lookout. You don't have to take her."

"Ma'am, hand me the baby." the man stepped into the house, walking towards Mama. She jerked Emily away.

"If you just tell us---" the man spoke into an object on his shoulder.

"They're refusing. Send back-up."

"Back-up? We can take care of our own daughter!" said daddy.

"If you hand me the baby, this would all be resolved." said the man. As Mama and Daddy argued with the man, keeping Emily a safe distance away from him, more people dressed like him burst into the house. Emily wailed as they pinned down Daddy and snatched Emily out of Mama's arms.

What are they doing? Mama! Daddy! Emily kicked and screamed, yelling,

"Mama, Mama! Daddy!" as the mean people took her out of the door to the house.




That's the end of chapter one. Do you think it's a good idea, guys?

@animalliterature Yes, I love how you were doing it by the baby's perspective. Though I have a little issue when writing the baby's thoughts you not capitalizing Mama and Daddy, it may be a title to some people but it's an actual name for the baby, therefore it has to be capitalized

@animalliterature sorry, just found your chapter.

I loved it! I agree with @wolfkit that it's cool from the baby's perspective. You never see that in books! Anyway, I really like it! Very interesting and keeps you wanting more. ๐Ÿ˜Š

@iris1929578 Of course you can join! Also, you are correct, it is Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. But there is also another name for it that I will be giving a 10k EC prize for. Do you want to set up the trade for your prize?

@animalliterature the girl sees crows attacking the corn and shoos them away, then protects the corn from any danger. She becomes friends with the corn, but sadly either her mother makes it a meal or it eventually goes bad. Close enough?

Edit: The poll should be who likes Valentine's day, or do you have a crush in mind.

@lazyanon correct! Do you want to set up the trade?

@jlya Good idea for the poll! But sadly, the book's plot is not very close to that. Anyone hear of the book "The Beaded Moccasins?" Just a hint.

Edit: May be raising the prizes and now I'll probably have to delete a contest.
