UPDATE! + Story quote!

Okay first update! I will be leaving for Japan on Tuesday so I will not be able to post anything until I get back on August 10th. When I get back though I plan on sharing some of my travel journal entries with all of you:)

Now on the the writing piece! This is the first chapter of my still unfinished, unedited, novel END TIMES. I have posted both here and on facebook lots of spinets but I haven't posted this part yet so have fun!

8/29/2092 Around 7:00am
It’s just nine days after the apocalypse. And everyday since I have seen the dead laying in the streets--or what use to be streets. I suppose I should feel lucky to have survived, but with all this distribution, and the scientists saying we have to evacuate the planet, I don’t feel vary lucky.
I don’t really know if I even want to go, earth is my home, I want to save it, but I still want to live.
And I know it’s hopeless anyway. The scientists couldn’t stop it. How would I? I mean I’m just a 16 year old girl. I sighed as I held tight to the small uncut sapphire necklace my grandma had given me when I was just nine years old. It was the night before she dyed. She said to always keep it with me and to never forget her. A tear rolled down my cheek. It was seven years ago but I still miss her.
“Emma? You okay?” my brother asked.
“Ya, I’m fine Jared.” I said as I quickly whipped away my tears and stuck the necklace back in my shirt.
“Okay, well the ship leaves tomorrow so be ready.”
“OK, but I still don’t see why we have to take the vary last ship out.” I said folding my arms.
“Because, they wanted to get the scientists out first, then the people who could do the most work, then the rest of us.”
“I guess…” I sighed
“Right. Now get ready.” he said as he turned away.
He left the small alcove that was my “room” in the bomb shelter that was our “home” until the ship left.
I guess it is in my best interest to leave…but you know how some times what’s in your best interests isn’t really in your best interests? That’s how I fell right now.

Prompt #9

This is one of my favorite character development prompts!
Write down ten characters and number them. (NOTE! don't look at the questions below until you've numbered!) If you don't have ten characters in your story yet use characters from your favorite books, movies, or what ever! (it's actually funnier if you mix characters form different books!)

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

Okay you got your list? Now answer the questions!
