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.
