There's something that I really like about this picture that I can't exactly describe. Maybe it's the Romeo-esk looking guy, the girl's really cool tiara, maybe the tutu, or maybe it's just the fact that the bike is Purple :]
Haha, yes I know. I'm random.
Today I have spent my day finishing my English teacher's insane hw assignments, sewing a poodle skirt for my homecomming this weekend, and thinking of ways to make my 1st chapter not sound like crap.
*Sniff
Ah, the life of a writer :]
Isn't it the writer that's supposed to like her fist chapter? It seems like everyone else seems satisfied with my first chapter except me. I've been going through my old manuscripts, looking at my other failed attempts. I can't help but love the one that worked the best.
Basically it's a near mirror copy to the first chapter of Twilight. I didn't mean it to be that way, it was basically how I would start it if it were a movie. It would start out with Phoebe being shoved onto the plane by her mother who lives in Montana, most of her dialog being her in protest of being sent to this god-forsaken town of Trinidad, CA. Then the oppening credits were the sketches in her sketchbook, the last one being the plane landing in California. Then she would find her dad in the airport, drive to Trinidad, and have her first day of school.
There was something so beautiful about the wording I used in this first chapter. Darn Stephenie Meyer, taking the good first chapter! [sorry, luv u steph!]
Another thing that annoys me is how my werewolf clan is introduced. It sounds so much like the way the Cullens are introduced.
But what other way would you be introduced to them on you first day other then asking the person who is sitting next to you and having them answer in a long lengthy description?
*Huff Huff Huff
So, this is where I am right now, in a shlump. A Writer's shlump.
A writer who is stugling to love her first chapter.
:]
