So, like I said, I enjoy writing stories and books
and such. Today I am going to be telling you about one book that I am working
on with the help of Hannah Privitera (and others). For now it is called, The Concept, set in the late 1700s to the mid 1800s in London, England. It has a rather
complex plot line so I will only be telling you a little of it and also I don't
want to spoil it for you. It is about a man named Thane Border, which we follow
through his whole life. His parents abandoned him at a very young age to be
looked after by his cruel aunt and uncle who later cast him out. Thane finds
himself on the streets of London for a few years when his fortune changes.
Through a long series of events, he gets married, has a son, opens an orphanage
and watches his son grow into a man of whom we are all now quite interested in.
The story slowly becomes more focused on Thane’s son: Charles Border. We see
Charles struggle through many things including the great divide of social
classes, a possible crime, and the gore of war. The story takes some major
pivotal turns that will not be discussed here and eventually the story is
concluded.
I promise
there is a lot more that happens besides that. Like I said, it has a very
complex plot. I don't plan on finishing this for a while, like a few years,
because I expect it to be pretty long and I want to take my time to make it the
best that I can. As of now I only have about three chapters done, but I have
the whole plot line all laid out.
Below
I am going to allow you to see some quotes from what I have written so far. Remember,
these are taken from the unedited, first draft copy. Enjoy!
“Speak no more Elizabeth, I take no offense.”
-Thane Border
“I have no speech to give you, no lecture, I
find it not my place. I fear I may have offended you in some way and for that I
am truly sorry.”
-Elizabeth Samuels
“I found him much more agreeable of late than
you. He for one will not disregard me.”
-Elizabeth Samuels
“I
am leaving, Thane.”
-Elizabeth Samuels
“Say something, stare not at me so. Your silence
hurts me. Answer me! Have I offended you so much as to lose your friendship all
in all? Thane?”
-Elizabeth Samuels
“I wonder do you have many young suitors? Just a
passing curiosity.”
-Thane Border
“Suitors? I dare say not. I have no intention of
having any.”
-Elizabeth Samuels
“I have known you to be stubborn, Thane, but
this is idiocy! A lad of six and ten should have enough dignity and self
control to look his peers in the eye and speak for heaven’s sake!”
-Benjamin Daniels
