THE ATLANTIS STORY BY: BRANDON KRUPCZAK AND WILL ANDERSON

I've always dreamed about making a story... OK, not really, but I just got this inspiration one day, and I got some paper and started to write!

It's been so much fun so far, especially because of the help from my friend Will Anderson. He's a master writer with a sometimes-too-big-and-annoying vocabulary, and my writing benefits so much from his helpful critiquing.

The worst part about writing my story has been the revising. I never liked to revise, but obviously it is necessary. My original piece went from battle to battle with no stop, and had hardly any story behind it. I'm changing that by retyping it on the computer, adding some much-needed chapters of boring story.

The best part has been the encouragement from almost everybody I know, and the wonderful feeling when someone actually complements your work. It's a new feeling for me, and I hope I can get a lot more of it.

My story is basically about a 14 year old boy named Tom, on the extraordinary islands of Atlantis (If you'll notice, my Atlantis is actually three separate islands). Here he is faced with many challenging enemies, confusing puzzles, and the fact that all of the U.S.A. based men look to him for commands. He is the supreme commander, along with his friends Matt, Holly, and Scarlett. The four usually don't see much of each other, but when they are together, they are unstoppable. Each of the four have taken a liking to a special kind of psi ability. For instance, Tom prefers to use telekenesis over other psi powers. Matt utilizes pyro-kenesis (control of fire), and so does Scarlett. Holly chooses geo-kenesis over the others (control of earth). Their chosen preferences they have the best control over, but they can still use others, like hydro-kenesis (water), Aero-kenesis (air), electro-kenesis (electricity), and many others.

If you would like to see pictures of some of the guns in the story, go to Google, and type in the name of a gun. Here's a link to the FN SCAR-H: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN_SCAR

I hope you all know your Dinosaurs! My story's got tons of them. From little chicken sized compsothagnuthus (compy) scavengers, to huge, heavy, and bulky Diplodicus herbivores, and everything in between.

The problem with writing or typing, I have found, is that while it takes a good amount of time to type or write, mostly write, a paragraph or sentence, it takes almost no time to read it. Because of this, the reader has a different view of the time passing than you do. This flaw has presented itself to me many times, and it is so frustrating I just want to scream. But I continue on (lol) even so. Now, if someone could invent a way of putting words down by mere thought, then I would be all set, as would (I imagine) every other author who wants to earn at least two bucks off their work This page has been created as a source of information for my readers, and a chatting room for me and Will to converse about the plot, characters, etc. Please do not post any non-Atlantis related subjects on this page.
