Summary:

Fifteen year old Shaya Willow has just arrived to her first foster home in Chicago. With nine new siblings and a whole summer break ahead of her, she's ready for anything; except the strange accidents that follow her everywhere she goes. Is it coincidence or is someone out to get her? Was her family's death not an accident — a truth far more devastating than being on someone's black list. Can she stay alive long enough to figure it all out?

Thank you! Funny you mention that, because I just decided to try writing it in third. I think it'll fit the story better. Thanks so much for the comment!

I am working on a fantasy novel as well, and I don't have any problems with writer's block. I like the idea of writing the chapters in a different sequence so as not to forgot previously mention details and prevent plot holes!

I like it! Not a huge fan of first person POV, but the way you wrote it is very clean and descriptive. I like how you describe your characters more with actions than physical descriptions. I think I'll stick with this...can't wait to read more!

The plotline is actually what's keeping me from writing more. The characters come easily to me, but creating a believable plotline is going to be tough if I keep with the direction I'm headed.

Everyone&#039;s crazy. You know why? We all want to be normal. Well, we cant define normal, and, the people you can point at and say, well isn&#039;t he/she normal are rare. Doesnt that kind of defeat the pupose of normal? -My Friend

THANK YOU EVERYONE! You've all gotten me from 218 to 22 place in the matter of one week! I'm getting together the next chapter as fast as I can, but I want it to be perfect, before I post it. Oh and I can't change the title, but the actual title is now THE TRIGGER. Thank you all so much!
