Amateur Author

I have several stories laying around that are either finished or partially written. Most of these keep laying around because I am not satisfied with the storyline, some of the characters, etc. And every once in a while, I suddenly get an idea that spins one of these stories around and back on track. Today, this has happened with one of these stories; the Princess Chronicles.

Actually, it wasn’t a sudden idea, but a dream I had last night that turned the story around. In my first and second draft, the main character is a princess that sneaks out of the palace to avoid getting married to a man she never met. She sails off to another land and gets dropped into an adventure that changes her life forever.

My dream was about a royal family that gets killed off one by one. The youngest princess is sent away from the kingdom to safeguard at least one heir to the throne that way. Once I woke up and was able to retain this dream – which is rare to me because I rarely remember my dreams – I immediately figured this would be an interesting twist for my Princess Chronicles.

And so work has begun on the first book in this series, which is – as you may have guessed -  a fantasy novel. I will post chapters here as soon as I finish them. So stay tuned for more stuff to read on this blog!
