Teens Writing for Teens, the 5th

Quick question... So your surrounded by a pack of wild hungry wolf like beasts, there closing in on you and your friend in a circle formation. Maybe about 25 of them. What is the most believable escape? (keep in mind you only have to make it 25 yards to safety. Your friend has a sword although he not good at using it, you have a bow and arrow although you suck at that too. You also have a bag with spare cloths and food)

1) you pull out a spaire sweat shirt and rush several wolves throwing the sweat shirt on one of there heads and trying to dodge/fight off the others, then run to safety.

2) knowing there just stupid animals you grab an apple and throw it away from you hoping the bright red with distract them long enough for you to run away.

3) you die.

ETA: GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay. I don't see the apple working. It doesn't look or act enough like prey to distract a predator. Death doesn't sound like much fun either. I'd go with option one. A lot of predators can be scared away with a show of aggression - I think the advice they give in bear country is to make lots of noise, yell, throw rocks, etc. The sweatshirt grab is a good move if you end up in a fight, since the jaws are the big threat, but actual fighting would be a last resort. Rush them and try to scatter them long enough to get to safety.

Hey thanks for all of the welcomes My name is Chris, I'm 24 and I'm working on a YA dystopian right now (because I've heard the market definitely isn't saturated...)

Hi Chris! Welcome to the team. I'll be 23 next week, so I'm glad I'm not the only person pushing the boundaries of the Teens Writing for Teens title.

YA dystopians are awesome. Tell me more!

Thank you! yes that was the option I decided on. That and stunning the beasts by throwing the apples at them then thowing the T-shirt over there faces as the MC's ran for there lives.

By god, you are a genius.

I know, right? I'm, like, the greatest person to ever be surrounded by wild beasts with!

Hahahahaahahaha! That would be awesome, except my Characters have amnesia and have trouble remembering random stuff like that unless a reference was brought up beforehand.

It doesnt matter, there safe now anyway. just another day of trudging through the forest and they will be in a slightly after area of Nesia.

Oh, Chris, I just followed you on tumblr. =)

I really need to write my birthday post for my blog.

If simple and clean wasnt kingdom hearts theme song i'd use it for my book. Now i really want to play KH...

Not that the song fits the game at all...unlike Sanctuary/Passion, which fit for KHII.

Ture, but every time i hear it i instantly think KH... It doesnt really fit my book either but every time i hear KH i get this awesome nostagic adventous feeling because of my love for KH. Its the feeling associated with the song that makes me want it for a theme song for TAJ.

WHEN YOU WALK AWAY

YOU DON'T HEAR ME SAY

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAASEEEEE

OHHH BABY DON'T GO

ahem. What?

SIMPLE AND CLEAN IS THE WAY THAT YOUR MAKING ME FEEL TONGNIGHT ITS HARD TO LET IT GO.

HOLD ME, WHATEVER LIES BEYOND THIS MORNING IS A LITTLE LATER ON.

hello margo, how are you doing today?

Hiya Margo

I'm halfway finished NaNo!!!

Bahahahaha <3

I love the video in the game too. Sora falling through the sky is a great image.

Go ally! That's awesome. I'm behind in a semi-spectacular way right now so this weekend will be the weekend of epic writing catchup.

Thanks!

The opening of the game mades me think of my book. Because he says. "I've been thinking lately, is any of this for real, or not?"

Which should be the slogan for my book!

Eta: Found my theme song for this book. I Fight Dragons "Fight for you"

I am sooo excited for thanksgiving! I'll have almost a full week off - the longest break I've had since I started working six months ago!

This is the second country I've lived in without a ridiculously long break for american thanksgiving. grr.

on the other hand, when I get out of school today I don't go back 'till tuesday! and my parents are away for about a week. and as soon as they get back we're moving!

I keep hearing sounds on my roof. Creepy.

Oh gosh, I can't wait until I get out for Thanksgiving break. I'm hoping my teacher doesn't give me homework, but she most likely will.

Again?! I thought you just moved?

Lol, moving houses, not countries. I wish I was moving back to North America. But we've been living in a rental, and now we're moving into a house of our own.
