I have a new story idea. So an Indian girl named Lauri has to run from her camp and her family because white men have taken over and took her family into slavery. Lauri runs to a waterfall cliff and hides in the caves. She go's back to her family's pine lean-to to collect a small amount of supplies. She is nearly killed by a pack of wolves and is saved by a boy from another tribe. Lauri's tribe had gone to war against them and it ended in a draw. His name was Tainor and they become best friends. While they hunt deer, they meet a white boy about their age. The boy tries to kill them and I'll end the stroy with the white boy running away.

Wow 0-0 I hope you grow up to be an author someday because that talent cannot be wasted. Have you read Island of the Blue Dolphins? It's kind of like this because there is a girl who gets stranded on and island for a couple years.

I don't know. I still need to finish the final rough draft. Then I might send it to Harper and Collins.

Sounds interesting! If you want a book to read to kind of research about this I would recommend Guests and Indian Captive: The Story of Mary Jemison.

Hey guys! I have a new idea for a book, so its gonna be called "Scars and Separations" Its about 2 girls, one lives w/ mom, other w/ dad. So the girl with the mom finds out her dad is abusive and is trying to kill the other girl. But they are on the way other side of the earth...Can she save her sister, or will her sister die?
