This is sorta like the third page of a new piece of literature I made recently. Do you find it interesting? It's kinda suspenseful and mysterious. But, it's mostly based off of mythological creatures like vampires and werewolves I just haven't gotten to that part yet.. Feel free to add any corrections or suggestions! ^_^ The book's name is Soul Creatures you could see it in my signature but I made it interactive because I like when people get attached and creative with the story. All copyright goes to me..
Someone behind me whispered. "Psst.. Priscilla." When I turned to see who it was, it was Jake. He slowly examined my face. "Are you alright? You look kind of off." He said. I just shook my head and when I was about to turn back around he whispered again. "I need your help with something later.." Then, he slipped a note into my hand, from under the desk, and I quickly turned my attention back to the teacher. "Do you have something to say?" Asked Ms.Ferrier. "Umm.. No, Ms.Ferrier.." I looked at the class who was all staring at me, all but, Alex..

Sooner or later school ended and I walked back home. I dropped my bag at the side and looked for the note Jake gave me during class. When I found it, it read. "I saw what happened to Sabrina last night.. I'm scared to death, can you please meet me at my house?" Then it left an address and a time at the bottom of the page. I wasn't sure what to do.. "If he knows, what if word gets out? What if my friend gets kidnapped and tested on by government officials?!" I began to panic and became flustered by the idea. Then, I grabbed my bag and ran home.

"Sabrina?!" I called, but she didn't answer. I looked around the living room but she wasn't there. Suddenly, I heard a whisper coming from the closet. I went to grab the doorknob when my boyfriend, Ezra, came down the stairs. :shock: I slowly moved away from the closet door and onto the couch. "What's wrong?" He asked me.. "Oh, nothing.." I replied. My legs were facing him while my head was turned to the closet.. Is she in the closet? What form has she taken, human or animal? Has Ezra seen her?!.. Then, I looked back at Ezra and smiled. "Well, I'm not feeling so well today." I said while helping him off of the couch. "How about you come back next month?" I tried to close the door but his hand got in the way. "Are you breaking up with me?" He asked, with a sound of fear in his voice, it gave me the biggest heartache. I shrugged. "I donno." Then he flipped out, throwing his keys in the air. "Is it about Alex?! Because, I know how he looks at you! Are you cheating on me?" He placed his hands on my shoulders as if he was about to hug me. I quickly stepped back and brushed him off. "I'm not cheating on you with anyone, I just think we need some time alone." How does Alex look at me?

You like? I am just freestyling it, going along as I write. I've had the plot for this book for a long time though. It took me forever to get the introduction started.

I need help editing this rough draft too though.. Like, a little inspiration and some perspiration would do it... It's just a rough draft, trust me..

Well, it's getting close to night and I am still waiting for Sabrina to wake up. "Are you sure she's okay?" I asked Alex, who is no longer a pitbull nor naked.. He's wearing some of Ezra's old clothes. They look way better on him anyways. Alex placed his hand on my lap for reassurance. "I promise you, she'll be fine." I smiled back but, no matter, I'm still worried. If it was some other hot guy telling me that I'm a shape-shifter I would have thought he was crazy. But, it's not, it's Alex.

I rested my head on his chest and we laid on the couch, taking turns to watch her. At one point, we both ending up falling asleep. She stayed asleep until early in the morning when she woke us up with her screaming. Alex and I tried to explain everything to her as well as we could. She was convinced that she's crazy and needed to go to an institution. But, somehow someway, we finally convinced her.

I was kind of waiting for myself to shift. Alex said it would happen when you least expect it but I feel like it just won't work for me. He said that there are many types of shifting. There is shifting on que, shifting in fear, shifting in anger, shifting in happiness, and just randomly shifting.. Well, I've tried shifting on que.. That doesn't seem to work, I've also tried anger and happiness. The only one that I didn't try is fear. I'm really hoping my shifting is not random.. But, if my shifting is in fear I hope my soul creature can defend me.. Even though, I'm such a chihuahua when it comes to scary things..



Btw.. It sounds weird but Alex really wasn't naked! It's just hard to explain, you would have to read the book to understand. But, it's nothing bad..

I just finished editing for normal Nano,so there is no way I'm subjecting myself to torture that again before November.
But good luck to everyone who is participating! I hope you have fun and your writing muscle gets a good exercise while mine gets lazy on mental potato chips. And actual potato chips. And lots of soda. But that is just because I'm a lazy butt and I have to set goals to get anything done. I'm sure you guys are much better and will finish quickly and amazingly! Can't wait to see what you guys come up with!


Yup, I'm doing the same.

Artesian wrote:Maerorem, thanks for the warning on writing insanity. ^-^ Believe me, I'm well aware of how difficult it is. Happily, my mum (who has a Bachelor's in Psychology) has agreed to help me in writing a schizophrenic, so, er, yay. I may enter your contest too, although I don't know what I'd put down as a point of muse.

I'd still be doubly careful when writing about a schizophrenic. Having a bachelor's degree in psychology sadly doesn't make you an expert on schizophrenia, as much as I'd like it to be so. It takes a lot of experience to know the nuances of it. Just reading about it and having some practical experience as a trainee or something isn't enough. I just turned in my bachelor thesis (in psychology) and was a trainee in a psychiatric ward and met schizophrenics, talked to them, etc. But I still don't really know all that much about it in practice. What I do know is that even severe cases are not living in a different world all the time. They're actually pretty normal, maybe except for some quirks and strange behaviour and speech from time to time. Or when they're in a psychotic episode.
A really good idea would be to read forums for schizophrenics. Some share their stories, what it's like for them, how they manage their everyday life, etc. I think talking to them and experiencing them is still the best way to get it down mostly right. And if you can't talk to them directly, the internet is a great resource because of those forums where they meet up to chat. ^^
(you just mustn't expect to get it all the way right. I don't think that's possible for non-schizophrenics anyway xD)

That said, I'd reaaally like to read it once you write it. I love twisted tales like that :3 Especially since it's about stuff I'm very interested in |D


Rolly-polly, thank you so much. *glomp* :3 You give such excellent advice. ^-^ Do you have any websites, forums or resources that you'd suggest for that? Any that you've found interesting or useful? Any insights that you've found, talking to them? tell me everythiiiiing!


A friend of mine told me about this conversation (don't ask me why). If you want help writing about Schizophrenia, you can message me. I myself am a paranoid schizophrenic. I can tell you a bit about what it's like for your writing.
It's like an avalanche
I feel myself go under
Cause the weight of it's like hands around my neck
I never stood a chance
My heart is frozen over
And I feel like I am treading on thin ice
And I'm going under

Ooh, ooh! I love confusing, weird things! Pick me, pick me! Ahem. I'd love to read it over for you! However, just a warning, I seem to make sense of things that don't make sense (to other people) and get confused by things that make perfect sense by others? cx

ah :'D thank you so much roseangel, that made me laugh so hard, and it really made my day :3

also, i have a question for you all;
would you read a story about a girl finding out that she is a werewolf? i know it's cliche and overused, and that's why i was wondering.
