Writing here I come!

So some of you may know that I am participating in a class called One Year Adventure Novel. And Some of you may know that this is a writing class designed to help you write a novel in one year. Hence the title. :D Well I've loved this class. I got behind however when I had trouble(grr you Ideas Block) filling in some of my Map(the outline book) and so I have only recently begun writing. Loving it! I feel impressesed (more like I want to) share a couple excerpts from the first chapter.

#1
Being a Princess has it’s perks, and it’s not-so-lovely perks. The first horrible perk is Heels.
Heels are the worst invention ever. Corsets are the second worst. I know that from experience. And more recently from my slightly hurt ankle and the fact that I haven’t been able to breath properly for the past couple hours.


#2
”Princess Gwyn!”
I jumped. Oh no. Forcing a placid smile on my face I turned to face him. “You found me Humperdink.”
The short pudgy prince scowled. “I told you it’s Humperdicus.”
I rolled my eyes. Luckily I could mend this. “Think of it as a...nickname. Humperdicus, the Humperdink.”
He seemed to consider that. Sort of take it in. Think it over. Then he accepted it. “I’m honored Princess Gwyn.”
“Great. Now why don’t you go share that with Lady Sarain? I’m sure she’ll find it very...” I stopped myself before I said Amusing. “....nice.” I finish

I turned to face the curious being. As I did a strange feeling overcame me. I felt as if my whole life, my destiny was in this persons hands. I shook myself. That was crazy. Utterly. But somehow I knew my life was never going to be the same again
