Hi guys, just one little thing...I will be on Dogo these days but probably a little "mentally absent"...probably I won't answer too many Q's and won't be doing the book quiz thing yet. Mostly because I am a middle schooler this year and have to go to pre-class in JULY!!! I know, cruel, isn't it? Just so you understand :)

I'm starting high school this year and I'm gonna be so busy!!!

I'm starting next year but I have to set up classes and everything. Good luck in high school! --BKS

I know right? I am in my 2nd year of middle school and it is sooo busy!

Who here is doing the book quiz thing if you are than how many books have you done so far?

That's really cool I love to read I have done 11 I am working on the 11th though, good luck!!

Wow good job Belle! I started a little late but still trying to make a few!

I am. Done 1 starting a 2nd one but planning to do at least 10

2 so far... but I have a bunch of books I’ve read and sticky-noted that are ready to upload that I still have to do lol :)

I am doing the quizzes and I have done about 3.

I am working on the book quizzes. And I have finished two so far, and am working on more :)

Ok, thanks for letting us know! Good luck at the pre-class! We'll miss you, grapefruit! --BKS

I recommend The Critter Club series.

i have read a few of them, they pretty good. Then again most books are good when it comes to me. LOL

I don't know, they're pretty easy to read, so...

Oh, you changed your background color! I like it! --BKS

Thank you! (I also changed the eyebrows!)

Hi everyone! Its me MissDogoBooks10! I am super happy to be back on :) Oh and if your new, welcome to the club! Things about me: Likes: Music, Reading, and pottery Dislikes: Bullies, Mushrooms, and when parents say "no" lol I hope you have a great summer and remember to always read!

Hey MissDogoBooks10! I like what you like, the music and reading part! I've never really tried pottery, but maybe I would like it too! And lol, I will ALWAYS remember to read! Hope you have a great end of summer too! --BKS

aw! Thats so sweet what you said, And I think you should maybe give pottery a try! its kind of like making clay :)

My friend from school really likes pottery too! With yours and her persuasion, probably I will try it out! It sounds like fun! --BKS

Who here is working on making some book quizzes?

I am! (For Dork Diaries book 3.)

You can't do copies so...

Hi every one, right now I am writing a fiction novel called Life and Death. I will probably publish it soon enough, maybe one or two months into the school year...I am writing under the pen name of Misty Starling, so if you see it in a store someday, you'll know that's me!

I'm writing a story about this girl named Daisy who moves to this gigantic old house in California and finds notes hidden in her house. She follows the clues and finds out a big secret about their new town.

That sounds awesome! It's annoying when you write a summary of your book and read it and then you're like I WANT TO READ THIS BOOK, but then you remember you have to write it.

I have actually written 2ish books they are just for little kids but they are pretty fun! I should really revise them though...

I'm writing a book called The Story Code. (No spoilers) It is about a girl named Sophie who ends up in the Book World, and she messes up the Book Code, which has been locked away for years, and now all the stories are messed up. For example Red Riding Hood is Sleeping Beauty until the beast wakes her. Only Sophie can remember the original stories. Now she must journey to the Book Code to fix it. I am writing under the pen name of Peter McRUNN. If you see it in bookstores someday, you'll know it's me!

That is super cool I once wrote a short book for kids but i never figured out how to publish it

I'm writing a story about this girl named Irene Fable. Irene comes from a family where all of her siblings are from fairy tales ex: Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk is studying to be a professional landscaper and Stilt (Rumpelstiltskin) is one of her annoying younger brothers. She has like ten siblings :) lol. She is the only non-magical one in her family. When she goes to school to audition for Jazz Band, she meets a girl with magic powers who brings her home when Flares come to attack Irene. The story then switches to Lanie, who wakes up in a hospital with no memory on how she got there. Lanie has a special power. She can reach into her Object and throw shadows, then fade into the shadows. It's still developing, but it's at forty pages at the moment! --BKS

How do you go about publishing?

Have you ever read A School Story by Andrew Clements? It's a short book that explains the process of publishing. It is about a girl who's mother is a publisher. The girl wants her book published, so she sends it in anonymously and her best friend vouches for her over the phone. It's a great book! I would recommend reading it if you want to publish a book! --BKS

I have read it! I've read pretty much all of Andrew Clement's books! But I read it a few years ago so I don't remember it to well. I might Reread it thanks!

Wow that sounds really cool I will definitely keep an eye out!

That's so cool! I like to write books too, even though I can never finish them! ;P

know how you feel... will often start a book and write a chapter or less [in a total rush] and then be like...hey. wait a second...what am I writing?!

SAME. I read literally any book I can get my hands on...I LUV LIBRARIES! --BKS

If you get it published, I will totally read it! I write fiction novels too, but mine is only about forty pages long at the moment. I write under the pen name Lucky Pace, so if you see it in a store someday, you'll know that's me! :) --BKS

do not feel bad i am working on a love story that is 5 pages long '-'

:D all stories begin somewhere! --BKS

that is so cool grapefruit! i have been working on many story's lets see here 1. the life of a dog 2 love begins with the twist of two tails 3 the return of maria if you do publish it i will probably read it

Hey kruzingwithk9s! Can you tell me about Love Begins with the Twist of Two Tails? It sounds REALLY good! I'm interested even though it isn't published yet! 😁 Please tell me about it! :D --BKS

i'm trying to but i do not think it is comeing on '-'

I went to a writing STEAM (at the time STEM) camp and there we did a cool activity on how to get rid of writer's block. He gave us two minutes to write whatever we were thinking or feeling. Just to let it out! I wrote like eight pages that day of a story I didn't even think of beforehand! It works really well! --BKS

it is a love story about two foxes one has two tails, this is a story about sonic the hedgehog but i might make a copy with ppl i own but any way two foxes one has a name of tails and the other one is alex. Tails tell Alex he loves her pretty early in the book and i do not have ideas at the time but i think it is going to turn out good. so yea.. i'm am such a chatter box XD

That sounds awesome! Did you ever think about the idea how if you twist two tails it could make a heart? I think two twisted tails in a heart shape would make an excellent cover! Foxes are so cute and cuddly, I want one as a pet! --BKS

hmm that sounds cool but like i said, because it is a sonic the hedgehog story, i might have to make a copy with ppl i own if i publish it.

Hi! I am so excited for you! I will be sure to look in all my local bookstores once its published! I also might want to write a book when I am older called: My Distant Sister

What is My Distant Sister about? It sounds like a book written by Margaret Peterson Haddix (a really good author). What's the plot? --BKS

its supposed to be about 2 twin sisters who are separated at birth and as they grow, they find out who is the other girl on that other side till they find out the dark secret their parents were hiding
