Work In Progress: Be Patient

Be Patient

The worst part about being in my junior year is that the teachers never let up. So I'm constantly going to be buried in homework which means I can't spend time on the story. So be patient during these long times where I don't give any little bits and pieces or whole chapters. But I will try to update you all as much as possible. Just bear with me, kay?

Working on:

Chapter 2, of course
Developing supporting characters: Celeste, Joseph, Emerson
Filler in between key moments
The epilogue(I'm getting ahead of myself)
main conflicts

The next piece that you should be expecting is Chapter 2, which has a full outline, just isn't written into readable form yet. But, again, bear with me. I have a research paper due Thursday and ample other stuff to do. Friday, I should be able to get TONS of stuff done.

Anyways, just a reminder, you don't have to have an account to post comments. And please don't shy from doing so. I love hearing from EVERYONE!

Here's a little preview of Chapter 2, completely unedited and fresh out of my head:

I was very conscious of my body at that precise moment. This was it. My eyes were focused, intent, unwavering while my body was intense, tight, ready to spring. Sweat rolled off my neck and arms, creating tiny sensations all across my body, but this didn’t distract me. It was me and my target that lay across from me. I was poised and positioned.

Enjoy. :]

In-Depth Profile of Celeste Hales

Celeste is a sweet, innocent, and very energetic person with enough personality to fill the entire universe. Her heart is huge and she's as selfless as a growing teen can be. Though she is young in body, she acts older than she really is, determined to be at the same level as Tori. What she doesn't realize is that she has surpassed Tori in many aspects of life and is the key to helping Tori through many of her messes in life.
On top of being one of Tori's greatest friends, Celeste is an amazing musician, incredibly intelligent person, and a very nice person to all she meets. She has parents who, though very protective, are very encouraging of her ambitions. She has a great home life, a slightly challenging and distressing school life, and friends that put up with her constant up-beat energy.

In-Depth Profile of Emerson Armstrong

Emerson is 20 years old and dropped out of college after being too frivolous with his money and realizing he can't afford it any more. His parents expect him to be something amazing, but he doesn't know what he wants and strives to search for who he is and what he seeks in life. He eventually finds himself in Missouri and meeting a man named Melvin who embodies everything he wishes he were. He's getting a degree in his future profession, has a fiance, and a loving family who supports him in all his decisions. Through the man, he meets Tori and accidentally finds himself intrigued by her passion and mature mindset. Sadly, though, there are barriers in his way: Thomas is Tori's older brother and very protective. But they maintain a safe and friendly relationship, giving each other insight into each other's lives and helping each other in ways they won't realize until much later.

In-Depth Profile of Victoria Jackman

Victoria, who hates to be called by her full name, goes by Tori and has a larger-than-life personality. She approaches things with a headstrong attitude and a non-nonchalant behavior, giving people the notion that she is stuck up or "snoody." She's quite understanding and friendly. She has multiple talents and has a hard time making up her mind about both silly and important things. In the story, she finds herself unintentionally smitten with Emerson who unknowingly sweeps her off her feet, and while she deals with the conflicts of school she has to deal with her own emotions and internal battles with Emerson.
