Shaya's Story
Summary: Fifteen year old Shaya Willow has just arrived to her first foster home in Chicago. With nine new siblings and a whole summer break ahead of her, she's ready for anything; except the strange accidents that follow her everywhere she goes. Is it coincidence or is someone out to get her? Was her family's death not an accident — a truth far more devastating than being on someone's black list. Can she stay alive long enough to figure it all out?

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! I don't know what specifically drew me in--the story, the voice, the characters... But it was all perfect. I think I caught only one mistake (where you wrote your instead of you're) but that's it. Your writing flows, and it's clean, which is a good thing, because grammar mistakes and punctuation errors often distract me when I'm reading. But ahhh!!! I really like this. I hope your writer's block goes away. (I have one too, at the moment) I can't wait to re... (more »)
Also, do you know if we can edit chapters? I see like an add on thing, but no edit. Do we have to just delete the chapter and repost it?
Yeah, I was kind of wondering the same thing. I've spotted a couple of errors in my story, but I think I'd have to repost the chapter if I wanted to fix it. Kind of inconvenient huh.

I love the idea of this story. I can only imagine the difficulties she may endure. I hope to see more up soon!
Thank you! And yes you are absolutely right, this is only the beginning! Im at a bit of a writers block at the moment, but once I get past this little problem I'll have chapters up here by the minute (: Thanks for your support!
I understand how "writer's block" goes. Trust me, Lol. I'm working on a novel too though mine is more fantasy. Just keep plugging through it, sometimes forcing yourself to write helps work out the kinks. My friends have been giving me deadlines for chapters and stuff which really helps keep me focus. Good luck on writing! Can't wait for more chapters I will surely read them. :)
That's actually a really good tip. I keep thinking it'll just come to me, but I guess I could always delete it if I don't like it. I also really like the deadline idea. Neither can I!!! Hahaha (: I hope I'll have more up soon!
I heard an author speak at my school once and he said he didn't believe in writer's block that the want to write is only a luxery not a need. I know I get very lazy when I find a road block so sometimes I'll skip it and write the chapters I know I want in there and then fit the puzzle pieces together later. Like a movie, books don't have to be made in order :)
Writer_JordanI am working on a fantasy novel as well, and I don't have any problems with writer's block. I like the idea of writing the chapters in a different sequence so as not to forgot previously mention details and prevent plot holes!
