I have too many books in the making… The only one I have completed is a book called Trail of The Cats. I am working on several, such as… The Fearless Fox Mysteries The Amazing Adventures of Jimmy and Kevin Furry Tails: Book One, a Dangerous Mission Book Store Mysteries: the Case of the Missing Magic Destiny in the Forest Trail of The Cats: Book Two, Demise of the Queen
Thank you for reading! If you would like, tell me which book title you liked best and I will start working more on it. (Who knows, I might even self publish!)
"The Mirror Maiden" is a two-part masterpiece that explores the inner workings of the human psyche through bold and imaginative storytelling. The narrative is divided into twenty parts, each one representing a new stage in Aurora's journey of self-discovery.
The story's narration is conducted through the voices of three distinct characters - Aurora herself, The Mirror Maiden, and the mentalist - whose contributions provide a unique perspective on the journey they take, the world they exist in, and the forces they must overcome.
Part One: "The Journey Begins" - In this part, we see Aurora's journey of self-discovery through the mirror world. She meets the Mirror Maiden, who helps guide her along the way, and the mentalist, who struggles with his own demons while navigating the complexities of the mirror world.
Part Two: "A World of Wonders" - Aurora explores the many realities of the mirror world, discovering new wonders, and secrets every step of the way. In this part, the Mirror Maiden and the mentalist offer their perspectives on the journey, adding depth and color to the narrative.
Part Three: "Into the Darkness" - Aurora and her companions are forced to confront the darker forces of the mirror world, and the reader gets to navigate through the journey with the narrator in order to truly understand the depth of their fear and struggle.
The schedule continues in this fashion, taking the reader on a journey through the complexities of the mirror world, viewed through the eyes of three distinct narrators. Each new part represents a new stage in Aurora's journey, every one filled with imaginative imagery and deep explorations of the inner self, and the challenges faced growing stronger.
In the second part of "The Mirror Maiden," we see Aurora and her companions navigate increasingly perilous territory in the mirror world. Now, the narrators' voices gain new depth, as they explore the value of Aurora's battle, the betrayal from seeking a higher good, the cost of victory, and ultimately the joy of seeing Aurora's character growth and the companionship of the journey as they head towards the epic final battle.
Both parts of the novel are paced and structured in a way that keeps the reader engaged throughout, delivering an ever-evolving narrative filled with twists and turns, challenges, and triumphs. The use of narrators adds depth to the novel, providing a unique perspective on the journey while making sure the reader always knows they have more than one window into the world they’re exploring.
"The Mirror Maiden" is a truly unique masterpiece, expertly told through the voices of three distinct narrators, culminating in a thrilling and unforgettable conclusion filled with hope and beauty, and becomes much more than a journey of self-discovery – it's a journey of human existence.
This was a fun prompt over the last month, but yet again I have pretty much figured out that writing a whole novel is probably not going to happen. I get lost in the woods too often with no real idea of how to get back on the trail, LOL. I think just doing the daily prompts is quite enough mental expertise for this old brain, but I appreciate the time put into these prompts and enjoyed doing them!
As of now, I have been writing roughly 2,000 words a day on my book and doing at least one Daily Prompt prompt. It probably isn't very realistic, so I'll probably bring my word count a day to 1,000-1,500, so I know I will be able to do it every day. I am homeschooled, so I have the flexibility of writing when I want, which works to my advantage.
I need to start writing my prompt stories earlier in the day and not wait until 10/11 at night to do them so I don't miss my streak. When I do that, I feel rushed and tired, so I don't pull everything I want to out of my story. If I start them earlier, I'll be able to go more in depth with them.
Also, this is a really cool prompt. I like stuff like this. :)
Today I am going to consider what to write about by thinking about the theme of the novel. Instead of coming up with a random idea and plot, and then trying to make a theme out of it and having to weave it in, I am going to come up with my novel by deciding what message I want my readers to take from my novel. I want to write about something that matters to me and something that will excite me and mean something to me so this challenge isn’t boring and I don’t give up or get stuck because if I have a theme, whenever I’m feeling stuck I will go back to that theme and it will help me develop the plot and keep it moving along. I am going to do the prompt about the ten major plot points today or draft it at least, and come up with my protagonist and some features about them. I am going to come up with the main conflict of the story- if it is internal or external and what type of conflict, person vs technology person vs natural disaster etc. and the genre, and if it’s a hero’s journey, coming of age, etc. I will make my way through these prompts the first week or two, one prompt a day just about if I can. From there, I’m going to go scene by scene so I will shoot for a scene a week- two if I can.
