Ive decided to have a contest to find my co-author for a novel I intend to write.
To enter you must write a opening partial chapter using the following plot points : A girl (creative name is a bonus) is riding a bus to live with grandmother in isolated small mountainous town. Grandmother and girl are the descendants of the last clan of natural witches left. This power skips every other generation so the girls mother never had it. The bus arrives and the girl is rediculed but makes the long walk to her grandmothers isolated cabin. Upon arriving the girl settles in reluctantly but is restless and sneaks out to practice her magic.
*Required plot points*
After sneaking out the girl chooses to try a spell known as The Guardians Call. She must gather items for the spell and the following line must be used : " She had to collect several things. A red rose for the blood of her Guardian. A black rose for the evils a Guardian would save her from. A blue flower of any sort for happiness. And a flower of her choosing so that the Guardian might always know her. She laid each bloom, the last being a lily from her grandmother's garden, on the ground around her. Come to me my Guardian from this eternal night, come to me, your spirit of forever light." A child's rhyme, but one that meant something. More then she intended, she felt the instant snap as the thread between herself and the guardian was pulled taut. She gasped. "
*end scene*
This depending will be either the entire first chapter or first half-chapter. The required lines are to be the final lines of the segment you have to create so try to lead the writing up to that point.
Post your enties here and Ill judge them all one week from today, January 24, 2007.
I look forward to seeing all the entries. Good Luck!
