Week Two Update

9/27/13
Today I presented my idea to the class, in my opinion it passed with flying colors. Over the last week I have been searching for a cover for the book as well as a look for the characters. I have a friend of mine helping me outline a few of them. She's one of the most amazing artistes I know so I have complete faith in her. My goal by next week is to start on the prologue. If I accomplish this it'll help me begin the first chapter.

Week One Update

This weak I've got my story idea laid out as well as the title "To Be Different." This story will be about the struggles of teenage life. This idea came about when I got a letter from my pen pal in California about how badly her schools have been treating her, it got to the point where she had to move schools. That still didn't help though she is now very troubled. I hope to write this to connect to both the bullies and the bullied to help them with whatever they may be going through. First I will start by introducing the characters in each situation and every chapter I will switch to a new character to get all perspective and all types of bulling.

About my 20% time

The project I will be doing is writing a short novel. I chose this project because I've always loved writing and this will give me a chance to have a teacher look over it every once in awhile. This well help me by improving my writing skills and give me a chance to get my writing out to be known. My over all goal is to get a piece of my work into a magazine or noticed in any way.  If I'm able to accomplish this goal it'll get me one step closer to becoming a novelist.
