Author: WriterAtHeart

I have been playing around with making an introductory passage of some sort for book 1 of my series. I've come up with a few options but the following is the one I like the most (it seems to be the most relevant).

Essentially the book (and all following ones) will be a chronicle of events as told by a certain minor character. However, it will be told in more traditional novel style (think a historical text if it were fleshed out by a creative hand - kind of third person limited/omniscient hybrid style).

I don't know. It's a bit of a mess. Comments would be appreciated. Especially concerning the final sentence. I am told it is redundant and should be removed. The end of the previous paragraph is a better "fade out" (if that makes sense).

This is going to be a story about a girl and guy getting to know each other through photography with each having their own secrets that the other needs to find out before they can truly be together. Obviously there will be obstacles to their relationship. It's a work in progress so hopefully this description will get better!

This Chapter will be about a were-wolf shifter name Elena.

Elena wakes up on a beach with a companion. It sounds like these two had a little too much fun the night before and collapsed after their alcohol level skyrocketed, but then there wouldn't be a need for a story would there? Her companion, Jake, was dead. His body showed signs of being torn apart by some savage animal. Elena discovers evidence pointing to her as the killer, and she sets off in search of ways to prove his death was an accident. If only she could gain access to her memories of that night, she could put an end to her search. She doesn't get far, when a group of scientists snatch her up and steal her off to their labs. What she finds inside that underground complex will change the way she sees the world forever. While there she also discovers the truth to her growing 'lust for meat' -raw meat- and that maybe Jake's death wasn't an accident at all. Can she solve Jake's murder and escape the facility in one piece, or will Elena cave under the demands of her 'special predicament'?

Short pieces born from prompts and boredom. Barely given more than a mechanical edit, what you shall read are the unaltered thoughts and feelings floating in my head at the time of writing.

Genre: Memoir Type:Short Story   Views:424    Rating:13+

Author: BlackMage

They say college can really change a person. I didn't begin to really understand how college would change me until my 4th year of college, senior year part 1. Gained a few friends but lost a lot more, made enemies and better understood the meaning of networking. Had a few people look at me like they knew I would make it but had a lot of people doubting me.

"It is clear why the struggle was so painful,
Metamorphosis, this is what I came through
-Nas

Chapter 2: Mathematics

We enter the mind of a runner who pays a little too much attention to detail.

After reading over this piece I like it quite a bit. There are some things I think I'll go back and change (not an easy task consiering it tops out at 440 words) just to make it flow a little better.
