‘ To see a world in a grain of sand,
and a heaven in a wild flower,
hold infinity in the palm of your hand
and eternity in an hour.’
Obviously all poetry is subject to the personal interpretation of the reader but I have always felt that it is a reminder that the extraordinary is commonplace; to me the words are beautiful and magical.
Inspired by the photograph I wanted to take the opportunity to create a back-story for the main character of my story ‘Incredible Incantations’. Maya is an accomplished witch but how did she get there? Hopefully these paragraphs will read a bit like diary entries.

It made me cry. Don't ask why I have no idea whatsoever. I liked it quite a lot and believe that you have a lot of potential inside you. You just have to let it out. :)

Thank you I'm so pleased you liked it. I really wanted you to read it because when I was writing it and I was trying to get the vibe of the character right I was reminded of your poems, so they helped inspire me :)
in response to your comment:
No, i totally agree. who wants to read something that doesn't latch on in the beginning? what i did was in the beginning of Hero High i had my protagonist, J.J., have a dream about a hand made of fire try and kill her. then when she wakes up she's just going to boarding school. the school later turns into a place for superheroes in training, but the dream is what i used for my hook. If you don't want to rush your book, you could put a gimmick in the beginning. I hope this helps!

Thank you SO much I really appreciate you reading it. I was a bit worried about rushing right in but I was a bit short on time for the contest. Also I worry that if you don't have something huge happen in the first chapter on booksie people won't read on. Do you know what I mean? Or am I being silly?
Thank you for entering! You sent it to me by email too right? That was you? Because I will be sending you all of the info by email. Like due dates and stuff. Thanks again! =D
