I'm Glad to Have Fiction Writing Back

In today's class we sang "Everything Is Awesome" and discussed the cleverness of old episodes of Spongebob before getting on to critiquing stories. One of the stories up was mine, which was the prologue and first chapter of my rough draft novel Divine Strength, and people actually seemed really into it and wanted more! (Which is what a good prologue and first chapter should probably do, I imagine.)

 

I was thinking of doing something unrelated for story 2, but hey, if they want Queens, I shall give them Queens!

 

...I don't want to just keep ripping pieces out of my novel draft, though, so I'm writing up a new thing focusing on an event that happened a few centuries prior to the novel. It's going to be primarily a battle and in the process I discovered that one of the Queens is a magical girl, and I'm hoping to make people angry by making the first few pages seem like a semi-cheesy love story before letting everything go brutally and horribly wrong.

 

That's what a good writer does, right?

This sort of reminds me of Fred Savage from The Prinesss Bride:

 

Hold it hold it, are you trying to trick me? Where's the sports? ... Is this a kissing book?

 

Which reminds me that I really need to rewatch The Princess Bride.
