It’s a mixture of adrenaline rush drama and mystery. My heart is in contemporary romance. But this story hit me a little different. Don’t let the tagline fool you! Tagline: Beta Tested. Human Approved. Entirely Stolen. Title: SANITY Author: BY KAIDY WRIGHT Chapter One: The Architecture of a Void (1235) Whoa! Time to get up. The command came from a brain that didn’t recognize the body it was piloting. I rolled out of the heavy, silk-sheeted bed. My feet hitting hardwood that felt unnervingly... smooth. As I stood, a wave of vertigo washed over me. I scanned the room, my eyes darting from the high, crown-molded ceilings to the austere, ivory walls. "I’m awake, right?" I whispered. The sound of my own voice felt thin, like a radio signal losing its frequency. I pulled a plush robe over my shoulders—it was soft, expensive, and entirely... unfamiliar. Groggly... I moved and stumbled toward what I assumed was the en-suite. My mind was a sludgefest of half-formed thoughts. The kind of cognitive fog that usually clears after a splash of cold water. I reached for the handle and yanked it open. What? Only to find myself staring at a wall of empty hangers and built-in shelving. "Wait a minute," I muttered, the fog beginning to chill into a cold realization. "What?" I pinched the underside of my forearm. Hard. "Ouch! Okay... I’m awake." I let out a dry, nervous chuckle. "Foolish me. Get it together, girl. Just... a little morning disorientation. Talk it out." I turned to the second door and pulled. This one led to a long, vaulted hallway that seemed to stretch on with mathematical precision. I looked left, then right. The silence wasn't just... the absence of noise; it felt heavy, like the house was holding its breath. "Where am I?" I asked the empty air. "Why does this feel... Strange and wrong?" I took a few tentative steps onto the landing. My hand went to my forehead, checking for the heat of a fever, but my skin was cool. If anything, the cold was starting to seep into my marrow.

It seems that we haven't played a story game for a while. I like doing these to see what we can create together, and to help people understand importance of NOT having it perfect at the beginning. Other times that we've done this, people switched from perspectives and there were grammar issues. So, let's play and understand the first draft is meant to be messy! Topic: Nature I'm going to write a sentence, and I want you to build off of it by writing 1-2 sentences. Copy and paste the sentences prior to yours so that they are in the same comment! Here's the sentence: The trees swayed in the distance, which echoed a rustling sound in the air. Add this sentence to your comment! Now, if you've been struggling on creating your book at any stage, it's time to decide to get that extra help. My team and I are here to help guide you every step of the way.

Hi everyone, I'm Tami. I was an avid daydreamer as a kid, but I was highly discouraged from doing so. Instead, I was steered toward math and science. I went to college for computer science and held jobs in Tech companies until the stress almost killed me - not kidding. I left and started my own energy healing business. An entirely different world that I fell in love with. It led me to meditate deeper and in those quests, daydreaming reignited itself. I could spend hours on my journeys within. In 2015, I took a class to write a self-help book which I self-published. I enjoyed it but never thought of writing another one. Then one day 2 years ago, out of nowhere during meditation, I heard you are supposed to write books. It brough me back to reality with a zillion questions to find out I was to write fantasy fiction. This was overwhelming task. I had never taken a creative writing class. I was in the bottom reading group in grade school and I wasn't so good at grammar and spelling. I tried to take some classes but it felt off - like I was a square peg trying to fit into a round hole. But I kept hearing sit down and write, so I finally did. I sat put my hands on the keyboard and wrote what I heard and saw within my mind's eyes. I wrote like this for 11 months until I heard the word, stop. There are more books but I need to get the first 2 books out into the world first. I have been doing some writer sneak peaks with an author group in my area and have gotten great feedback that has allowed me to uplevel my writing. Now I understand beats. How to tighten dialogue and so much more. It's all coming along. Its funny how life works, but if it is supposed to be it will.
