Foster homes usually suck, but with a little bit of magic, a secret adventure and a whole lot of mis-matched foster siblings, this one could work.

This is harder than I thought!

An avant-garde artist interested in the meaning of life may be out to destroy it.

Bah. Needs work. What is "it"? Life, or the meaning of life? I don't know.

A single mom in the ghetto, having lost one son in a gang war, works to protect her youngest from gang influence and overcoming many challenges walks away from the ghetto, to confront a number of new experiences through which they each grow.

Yeah, OK, parts of the story are overly long too. :)

'A young naval officer seeks revenge within high tek futuristic society, armed only with a sword, a bow and arrows and a nasty disposition.'

Yay. I wondered what the book was about.

Just ONE! What's your current WIP about?

Rules: no character names, no semi-colons (don't be that guy), no em dashes, no prefacing your sentence with a paragraph of excuses/world-building/back-story/history. Just post one simple sentence.

Mine:

My story is about a boy who lives below ground in 2070 and wants to find a way to Earth's surface which has remained untouched by humans for over 50 years.

I totes thought this was the same thread, too. This one comes up frequently, though, and it's kinda fun.

Here you go:

Current WIP:
Road-tripping with an attractive artist is better than Mormonism.

Next WIP:
Being a hobo is only cool in folk music.

OK, serious answer...

Five friends are trapped in a hellish version of their hometown and the only person who can keep them alive killed herself ten years ago.

Two Societies: A widowed scientist tries to build her weather machine without being caught by an evil genius.

Planet/Moon: A woman finds herself in an unexpected position of power and tries to save the world and herself, and pretty much mucks the whole thing up.
