Here it is, the very first thing that I have worked on that has to do with Treason. Admittedly, it isn't very much, but it's a start. I really want to work hard on this an plan it before I actually get it started. More work has been done since then; I've created a whole thought web, complete with colour- and shape-coding. I have also completed and fully labeled a plot graph (yes, I do already have the beginning, middle, and end) and a completed outline. Today, I started writing the very first pages of the novel and it already seems like it's going to be a pretty interesting piece. I'm aiming for an approximate sixty thousand words again, give or take a few thousand. Hopefully give rather than take, however.
In case you missed it before, Promise is the story of sixteen-year-old Sara Leslie, a Canadian girl, who wants to remember the summer she turned sixteen. After going through a breakup, Sara leaves her quiet home in a still unnamed town to attend a summer camp in a small, forgotten town in southern Ontario. Everything seems promising until she meets a mysterious boy named Nick. Soon after, Sara starts to feel herself being watched and she finds anonymous notes bearing warnings pinned to her door. When she follows the instructions on one of these notes, she becomes the victim of a kidnapping. Sara needs to either hope that she'll be set free after the ransom is paid, or fight to leave with her life.
Treason is the second instalment in the series and continues to follow Sara as she navigates high school and work, trying to find balance between her education, her job, her social life, and her ever-complicated romantic life. The story promises to be funny, witty, and enjoyable... hopefully. You need to have a little faith in me.
It's getting a little late, so I think I'm going to call it a day. I hope to hear from you all soon, and just because I'm in a good mood, I'll leave you with a short excerpt from Promise.
“Well,” I started, “I don’t really know him. I hadn’t talked to him since I met him a month ago. We didn’t really talk much, though because he was kind of mean to me at first,” I explained.
“So if he was mean, and you didn’t really talk, can you please tell us how the two of you ended up alone together in the middle of the night a few days ago?”
“Well, something had happened earlier that day that was really disturbing – ”
“Something disturbing?” the man asked, looking up from his notes.
