Writing Offline

Last night I had a dream that gave me a really good idea for a book. I always think that sounds so cliche. Lol. But when I think that I always just remind myself that it's exactly how Stefanie Meyer got the idea for the Twilight saga. Of course I never really expect my books to get that huge. My writing is really more of a hobby than it is anything else. I've always enjoyed it, but lately I haven't been doing it as much as I used to.

So I decided to change that. I'm taking this idea from my dream and running with it. Granted it may be awful because I haven't written in quite some time, but who cares. This is just another one of those things that I'm doing for me. I will accept constructive criticism, but please no negative comments. You can keep those to yourself. I'm making it a New Year's Resolution to be more positive in the coming year and I don't need any negativity from others. :P

As far as the writing goes, I haven't gotten very far. I have the prologue down and a couple sentences into chapter one. Lol.

I'd really like to give my readers some insight to my progress though, so here's the prologue. Comments are welcome. I hope you enjoy it!

Prologue

__

Two weeks ago I thought my biggest worry in life would be making it to college graduation without going insane. However, since then I’ve had so many wake up calls my head is still spinning.

I’ve been kidnapped and I’m being held captive in my own home. My captors may be savages, but they sure aren’t stupid. They had everything planned in advance for my capture. Which makes me think, how long had they been watching me before I was whisked away from my slow and comfortable life? Obviously everything had been set into place long before now.

There are two excessively gorgeous men fighting for my hand, and that one I’m still trying to wrap my brain around. In school I was considered the shy, quiet one who had no intentions of spending her life with any man. So basically, my roommate and any other person I came in contact with had me labeled as the one who would be the lonely cat lady. I know I’m smart and I submersed myself in my studies, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want a little bit of a love life! Now, though, I’m thinking I may have wished for a boyfriend too many times and God is answering that request with a vengeance from the chaos these two guys have put me through.

As if all of that wasn’t too much thrown on me, the one who’s been put in charge of watching me while I’m held here has been briefing me on a history that I thought only existed in fantasy novels. It turns out that I was completely wrong there. A whole mess of people have been hidden from society for thousands of years and apparently I’m right in the center of all the mysterious madness.

All of these things are terribly confusing, but the worst of all the recent events in my life is a result of the one person I thought I could always trust and count on. I guess I was wrong about that one too . . .
