Alliyah (itsjustalliyah) | 35 comments Hello whoever this may concern,
So I know I'm currently trying to jugle writing at least 4 books (It's hard to keep track of all of them!) right now, but I'm thinking of starting another one?

So I'll put the description of the book here (The title is Runaway and by the way the description kinda sucks, so I'm trying to make it better too.) and if whoever is reading this, could say if I should keep writing it and such. So here is the description:

Runaway

Mommy’s young warrior; Marcella Glashow runs away from home, hoping to start a new and better life.
She embarks on a great adventure to discover her true self and where she truly belongs.
But as she goes on her adventure she recalls the great moments she had with her family and friends and the depressing moments.
Will Marcella go back home?
Or will she continue her adventure?

Feliks (dzerzhinsky) sounds more like a short story to me...

questions:
are you deliberately naming her Marcellus after some Roman tribune?

she's *how old*--and 'embarking on a new and better life' --by running off alone into the night?

food? shelter? clothes? shoes? bed?

she doesn't get immediately picked up by the police?

if her family is waiting for her there at the restaurant, (and if they see her) its not her choice to go on with her adventure. They'd toss her in the back of the car and take her home, grounded for a month.

Just sayin...

It might sound like a short story, but it's actually planning out to be pretty long, considering it's mostly based on her memories, which only make sense when they're detailed. Marcella also is going to have a very long adventure, that may be including her encountering a murderer.
It only sounds like a short story because it's a very vague description.

I didn't deliberately name Marcella, Marcella after the Roman tribute, I named her Marcella because in Latin the name means 'young warrior' and in Italian Marcella means warlike, martial and strong, which I wanted the character to be. I mean you have to be very mentally strong to run away from your own home.

She's 17 years old in the story and when you read the story, you find out why she runs away to start a new and better life/ where she truly belongs.

She does bring food and clothes and money to pay for shelter. Also in the book, I am making it so that she's been saving enough money to go on a plane and go to Paris, where she has always wanted to go... well she might, if she can make it to the flight in time.

I took that part, about the restaurant out and I'm just saying right now that it's NOT going to happen. There will be no 'family restaurent that she goes to'.
