Friends and families!
How you doin'? Are you good? Oh, that's great. Fine, fine, fine.
Well I just thought I'd give you a small look into my most recent story. It's nothing special but ... well I'd like to hear what you think. So let me know if you think this story is worth being written :)
It's going to be quite confusing, I know. I just never know how to put everything together without telling too much of the story :P
Off we go:
Well the story is about that girl, Nova, she lives on the outskirts of Oxford, 30 minutes away from the city centre. Her mother died a little while ago, her Dad works for a small firm that works with Laptops and Computers, like to repair them and stuff. But that doesn't bring in enough money since not many PCs or Laptops break when you're that far away from the city centre - they don't even own Laptops there, sometimes. But he's quite good at what he does so a decan (is that what you call them?) from Oxford Uni finds out about him and offers him a job for the Uni, creating programms for the Uni itself and teaching the work with Computers and Laptops in small courses. And he says yes. But: Nova doesn't want to move because her Mom is burried out there. Her father already found a school for her though called Headington Girls School and so she HAS to go there so the family can finally live a normal life again - a new start, new people, etc.
In the new house where they spend about 3 weeks before Nova goes into boarding (because her Dad has to work till late in the night and can't take care of Nova that way) she finds a book down in the attic - it was locked away and has the name "The Book of Miracles" in golden letters on it ... Nova takes it to the school with her because it seemed special and she loves writing stories. So she starts writing the first day after school and everything she writes becomes reality ... that's why it is called The Book of Miracles. She invents new friends for herself, people that she can relate to. The first person she writes about is a poor person that travels everywhere by foot, or rather everywhere that Nova wants him to be. And he tells her different things - because he has become reality before, when Nova's mother wrote in that book. He tells her a lot of things about her mother ... and Nova can't stop writing. Her Mum used to write when she was sad, just like Nova is now, and she wrote about that poor man and they have been friends forever. And when Nova was a kid her mother read her own stories to Nova - so he has been alive forever, because her mother read him out of the book. But then she locked the book away because she remembered what it did and the pages were emptied ... the whole story was gone.
So now that Nova has the book she makes up people and she meets them in the forest every day. But there is someone else that has the same abilities as her and the person changes Nova's story, it steals her book and makes her realize that stories can be changed by just one word. The person misuses its abilities - and makes everything go wrong.
Okay, I guess noone understand A WORD of what I just tried to explain. It does make sense in my head ... but it's hard to put my thoughts into words to describe something in a short way. Very sorry, people. But please let me know what you think and be brutal :)
- Thanks.
