Who might think I have the potential to be an Author?
Here is a few paragraphs of a book I’m hoping to write about and complete in the near future. Its going to be called Angels’ Messenger.
Its a bit long! Sorry!
I took a deep breathe as I readjusted my black traveling cloak, this was always the part that made me rather anxious. Though I’ve done this for what most have been a hundred times since the beginning of time. The first being the message that I delivered to Adam and Eve. I still felt…inadequate for the job that had been assigned to me only a few thousand years ago.
The memory came to me, a bright light in the darkness that was currently around me. The light was never the same, continuously changing with no obvious pattern or meaning. A wind that came from nowhere, yet in every direction had caused my silver curls of hair to swirl around me, happiness flowed throw me in great waves. I laughed as I twirled around, and stopped.
HE was there. I didn’t know at the time who he was, or who I was for that matter. But, somehow I knew he was that of great importance. Though, I couldn’t see what he looked like, whether he was of color or not, I just knew he was there. And that was the beginning of my life meaning.
I shook my head, letting the first memory fall into the back of me conciuousness for another time.Though this wasn’t the same HIM, I was going to see, he was still of great importance. He is the angel Gabrielle, and I am to recive a message from him to give to a young girl called Joan….
The young girl turns out to be Joan Of Arc, and it’s pretty much the story of a teen girl on a mission, never phisicaly aging, and always delivering messanges from the angels. If this one goes well, I hope to write two more stories about others who are like her, but on different missions.
PLEASE tell me ur opinions about it! Thx 4 reading this!
I liked it, especially the first sentence. but take away the comma, and put in a period. I like the idea
You should read the Succubus series by Richelle Mead.
I think you’ll enjoy that!

anyone has the potential to be an author.
its whether you can write well or not that means you have more potential than others.
Hell, my crazy great aunt Lilly published a book about some random gypsy girl who had a retarded, unrealistic life. And she was the crappiest author (besides SMeyer and Suzanne Mcleod) ever.
