The Last To Die

You couldn’t breathe.  Everything around you froze as your little sister lay dead on the ground. The hardness of her lips stayed firm and you watched them as if they would come alive again. You were begging them to. There was no blood, for she died another way. Water; the thing that kept us alive had killed her. Her arm was twisted in a terrible way and no one seemed to care. The workers hustled her quickly into a glass case as you watched in horror.  She was wearing her favorite dress, pure white like her beautiful little soul. Starting to regain control of your limbs you walked toward one of workers.- Introduction to my book "Last To Die"


In this post I would like to introduce one of my books I am writing at the moment. I Just hit 10,000 words and I aim for at least 40,000 more. 

I started the brainstorming for this book thanksgiving day of 2014 and three years later I only have 5 chapters. I hope to change that number quickly though. This book idea started after reading a book that inspired me so much I knew I had to write a book that would do that same thing for others. I over brainstormed this book though and I has only come back to it recently. I had to make some big changes but now I am really happy with where it is going. 

The main idea of the book is a dystopic society searches for their purpose in life in inhumane ways. Only to find that they have a creator. And in case you did not notice the whole book is written in second person. Yes I love writing in second person...  

The main character in the Book is Scarlet who is 17 when the book starts. She has been the hardest character to write because she doesn't have my personality. I find myself writing myself into her much more then I intended. 

On the other hand, the second main character in the book is a boy named Reve. He is pretty much a male version of me, very much a dreamer and creative.  This book is also hard to write because part of the book is about honesty. And so the characters have to be very honest. So I would defiantly call it a young adult book.

If any of you guys are interested in the book let me know and I can let you guys read it while it is being written:)
