I'm writing a book, just like all of the other millions of people out there say they are. And yes, I have written my share of vampire fiction. The difference between me and the other people who say they're writing a book is that, I'm going to school to learn how to write. I got accepted into the school, because I write well. It's a school for writing Children's Fiction and what is Twilight? It's young adult fiction, which is classified under children's fiction.
Not really meaning to spend my time here, but I just wanted to say, not that it really matters, that Twilight was written in first person, because that's what is recommended to do. The first person narrative get's in people heads better and lets you live life through the characters eyes. That's why Twilight is so popular (I'm not defending it). It's because it's written in first person and it makes your feel and love and identify with the character. From what I have read of the writing, it's wicked good and God knows how, because she didn't have much writing experience before that point.
I'm basicly here, because I'm trying to figure out one thing--is the stories first person narrative told from an adults point of view, talking about her childhood experiences (kind of like Stephen Kings Christine--its first person and told from the viewpoint of the Killer cars owner's best friend). I'm writing a story and I don't know whether to do a prolugue or to do a diary.
My character--in what I am writing is a 14 year old girl who is a sophmore in highschool, so she's wicked smart, but she has a somewhat immature, first person, point of view of everything. She practices magic, but not the Harry Potter stuff. She practices slight of hand magic and illusions--the kind of stuff that can be done in reality. And, she meets a psychic medium, who is a boy near her age and they--like Chris Angel verses mediums and Houdini--verses mediums, have a problem with whether magic can really be done or if it's just an illusion created by willing participants.
