Almost a month of summer remains until school starts again. Normally this isn't something to be happy about, but goshdarnit, I have no problem with it. Except the homework.
Besides that, we're both willing to accept help from any source we can get it, and there's a number of teachers knocking-down-doors, pushing-pedestrians-aside, rushing to help out! We think. We don't know how teachers work.
But we do know that they have some of the things we don't. Namely, a college education. We haven't gotten there yet, but we're working on it!
..::..
A while back, we visited each other's houses to see what work we could get done. Unfortunately, not much. But we're happy with how it's moving along and that's what counts, right? Maybe.
Seeing as we're just "children" our work ethic is not so strong. I mean, if I got paid handsomely (or not so handsomely) to edit five pages a day, I would do it. No problemo. Nada. Zero. Nothing. But the thing is, this is based off of complete self-motivation and the fact that we're put so many freaking hours in it that it's too late to go back.
Also, musical inspiration is as important as food for us, so thanks to everyone who composes awesome music for us. All you anonymous sillyheads.
So, back to the drudgery- I mean FUN - and we'll see you guys later.

The Ever-Important Beginning
There are limitless books on this world. Some good, some bad, and some that are brilliant enough to catch the attention of the rest of the world. We're not aiming that high.
The original idea for "Soul Threads" came when two friends were bored. These two were no other than myself, Lurelle, and Kit_Kat (also known as Patricia and Katelyn). Now, one of them suggested that they try and make a story for the fun of it and see if people would be interested enough to help them further create the story... in other words, roleplay.
(And people had been interested. 57 in total, though a much smaller number actually participated).
The plot of the story was simple in the beginning. In the busy city of San Francisco there is an academy for .. let's say.. special kids. They're special in the sense that they are linked, through their "souls" with the animal their personalities are most similar to. The kids attend school with their partners and go to class, make friends, and presumably have a normal school year.
Yes, not the most exciting topic, we know. That changed dramatically with the plots and events that eventually unfolded themselves within the story. We had absolutely brilliant people working with us. That unfortunately wasn't enough to save it in the very end.
And after the silence came a remark that we took extremely seriously.
"Why don't you write a book about it?".. or at least something along that line.
It took a few weeks but finally.. Finally .. I began taking the first posts raw, titled a page "Soul Threads Rough Draft 1" and work began.
Enough on that. Here's where you helpful readers come in.
We're young authors. Actually, so young, we haven't graduated college, much less high school yet. It's not normal for people our age to be writing novels (although it's been done). We want to finish, and hopefully publish this book.
Note that the work takes a long time to complete. Patience is required, for both of us and those who are trying to help us.
You can help us by telling us. Saying "Hey, you know, it'd be pretty cool to see something like that in bookstores", or perhaps you're a student or teacher yourself.
That's all we need. We want to know if people want to see what we have to offer the literary world.
And we promise, it'll be fantastic.
