Summary: Alice Elson loved many things. That watch her father gave her, antiques, books, poetry, and writting. After years of obsessing over the idea of writing a story of her own she forms a group with her twin brother and their best friend. They start a story that they quickly fall in love with, but after losing it and having to rewrite it several times the trio is very much so done with this little game.The night that they decided to disband their little club they find a book in the attic of a local antique story. Alice is immediately inraptured with the beauty and intrigue of the old empty book. When it's given to her with the simple request that she continue to write in it she's thrilled. But the book isn't what it appears to be and Alice just signed herself on for more than a simple story. The only thing that can save her and her loved ones now is her amateur writing skills, quick thinking, teamwork and a little bit of creativity.

Characters:

Alice Elson: she's in her junior year and the only people she really talks to are her twin brother and Brayden. Alice has moodswings to rival a biopolar person and can be a bit of a princess. Alice has hazel eyes that are as spastic as her emotions, they change color and via color people can determine what her mood is. Her hair is long, about chest level. It is dyed a mahongany color with a blonde strip on the right side. Her bangs are blockish, they are shortest where her eyes are (at right about the eyebrows) and they get long as they go outward from her eyes. She is a short girl of 4 foot 93/4 inches. Because she is short she wears lots of boot-like shoes with wide heels. She's very into neutral colores like brown and yellows but also likes to wear hott pink but her favorite color is blue. Her style is sometimes a little crazy. She loves things with patchs and other things that look complex and really aren't. A good example is wearing fishnet over clothes instead of under them. Her small stature means she isn't busty so she doesn't wear really low cut shirts. Her birthday is February 16th.

Alexis: One of the main characters in the story Alice decides to write. Alexis is based off of Alice.Alexis has Alice's natural brown hair color, but her eyes are a red color (will be explained in the story). She is short like Alice at the same height. She was created to be very beautiful or at least what Alice thinks is beautiful.

Elijah Elson: he is also in his junior year, but is far more outgoing and friendly then Alice is. He is calmer than his sister, but can be a chicken unless he needs to be brave. Its usually pretty dire though. He can be real sensitive. He had short brown hair that looks like its never ever seen a brush or anything even remotely close to one and his eyes are an equal mixture of blue and green. He's taller than his sister at 5 foot 9 inches. Birthday is the same day as Alice, February 16th.

Ej: for a later update <~ I got lazy

Brayden: for a later update <~ still lazy

Bruce: for a later update <~ ain't nothin' changed, I'm lazy.

NaNoWriMo

I didn't win.
My computer deleted the last document I was working on and it was five thousand words. (Longer story behind that, that goes with spastic breaker trips)
I was only five thousand away.
I'm real sad about it.

I put a lot of effort into it.

Terry told me I couldn't take off because Rachael hadn't showed up.
I had to work all week, plus homework, plus school.
It was unfair advantage.

Other people have lives.
It's something I'm desperate need of. I
have a fever because of the stress (we think)
I'm finishing my novel tonight.

I think I can live with 31 days.
