I recently read this random post discussion post from Book Passion for Life by Donna and Jess. And I decided to do a post of my own, including Inevitable in it! ;D Yea. Haven't talked about Inevitable since forever, man. Haha.
Their discussion was about love-triangles. And since Inevitable actually has one, I might as well talk about it! So here goes~
* Don't start the love-triangle as a sequel
I definitely won't start the love-triangle in my book as a sequel. I'm planning Inevitable to be a stand-alone cuz ya know, I just love amazing stand-alone books. ;D
* The heroine needs to choose a guy by herself and not be torn between two guys
Well, although Arabelle does consider the guys in the beginning, she will definitely choose the guy by the end of the book, since it's a stand-alone. Still deciding the ending though. ;) Although I do know which guy she's gonna end up with.
* Best friends do not count as lovers
I would disagree with this opinion if it was a 'The Boy Next Door' type of book. Because those relationships are the hottest. ;D But in a love-triangle? Hmmm....I would definitely go for the bad boy instead, like what Jess or Donna said (sorry I forgot which one said it. LOL)
* Don't make one of the love-triangle character (the boy) die
I was originally planning for this to happen in Inevitable, but then I felt really bad for the guy who was gonna die. He's too sweet and sounds really good as a boyfriend (yes, I'm totally falling for the guy she's not gonna end up with) ;'( But he does end up with someone else. No worries. I figured another girlfriend would be better than dying, right? LOL.
* Both guys should be introduced in the beginning of the book instead introducing the second one in the middle
I pretty much got this down. I mean, the two guys in Inevitable had already appeared by Chapter 3, except that the reader isn't aware of it yet. ;D I'll formally introduce the second guy (who actually appeared before the first guy, but that was like a glimpse) in the next few chapters. I don't know which yet, since I'm going with the flow, but he's definitely appearing before Chapter 10. And that won't be in the middle or even near the middle of the book since I kind of write 3 page chapters. LOL.
I think doing these things are really fun. It's like answering interview questions about your books. I never really realized how fun that its. Thanks so much to Jess and Donna for thinking up of these opinions and providing some basic things for me to create such a fabulous post!
You can find out more about Inevitable at the top with all the pages or at the sidebar(but it's tiny). And note this, that this might not even become a book, because knowing me, I might quit have way, or wait like 3 years to continue writing the next chapter.
Right now, I'm just on this writing spree and wrote chapter 4 and 5 in a week. But it's not that much. I mean, what do you expect? I'm writing in class while the teacher is talking, but that's how I actually could write non-stop. Yeah. I know, I'm weird right? When I'm at home quietly, I get writer's block. Or I end up dancing to the music I put on.

November 24th, 2012 (Inevitable)
So after a really long time, literally two months, of not touching the book I had started to write, Inevitable, I finally took it up again. :) I reread the first two chapters and finished up Chapter 3.
I like the end of Chapter 3 :) Yay. I need to continue it up. I heard from my friend that if you publish a book before you get into college, it will help with your applications. I could use some help. :)
I feel like the main character, Arabelle changed a bit from Chapter One and Two to Chapter Three. Maybe it was the time period, but Arabelle seems to be more quirky. I guess it's a good thing.

Inevitable - Chapter Two
Hey Cindy. (; omg. So busy with school. I haven't been doing Incend lately. D: Well. I'm gonna work on it now and send it to ya, k? Yeah. So good luck with Inevitable and stuff. omg, Ms. Valdez calling me a cute little girl. whut.
Haha....lol. Yeah, that was Liana. I was a little bit lazy when I made this draft. I was about to post it next week, but yeah, I was too busy doing this, watching shows. And as you know, school started. So I'm like super busy doing Falcon Work and hanging out. No time, like Liana said. I haven't really been writing that much in Inevitable because of school and such, but I'll try really hard to not get distracted and write in it as much as possible. ;)
Since I owe it to you now, omg. Here's Inevitable-Chapter Two!
Inevitable-Chapter Two
The main road that leads to the city was dark and dangerous, espcially at night.
Great. I thought. I came out just in time for my doom facing bandits alone. With a sigh, I look towards the side of the road, where the bushes are which made a great hideaway for both bandits and travelers.
Looking at the dark shadows of the medium-sized bushes, I smacked my forehead. Oh! Why had I forgotten a flashlight? Oh well. I will have to deal with what I have now.
I crept closer to the edge of the road, getting ready in case any bandits come flying out at me.
When I made sure no one was behind the bushes, I patted the soft ground and lied down. I can't be picky in these situations. Falling asleep this early may be hard, but there is nothing to do but to rest.
In the distance, I thought I heard a horse, but I don't care. I already drifted off to sleep.
Minutes later, I've been startled awake by this bright light. Blinking, I quickly sat up.
Bandits! Run! my brain yelled.
"Well, what do we have here?"
"I'm no one special. Go away!" I turned my head towards the direction of the voice.
"Oh, don't scare her like that." a women's voice sounded, surprising me.
I didn't know women also become bandits.
"Oh, dear. You must be shocked that we pried you awake, but we just had to make sure you were not dead." the women continued.
"What is a young lady doing on the road alone?" the man's voice questioned.
"Umm...I'm heading back to the capital to find my father." I lied. In truth, my dad left our family more than 8 years ago, right before Reina was born. We already believe that he's dead.
"We're heading back to the capital, too. We just visited our son, Josh in the nearby village. And by the way, my name is Robert. And this is-" Robert spoke.
"-Mariette." Mariette interrupted.
I then wondered. What would a young child be doing in a village when they live in the magnificent city? But then I decided it was the cue to introduce myself instead. "My name is Arabelle Sterling, but you can call me Elle."
"Sterling, huh? Any chance related to the high official, Ashton Sterling?" Paul asked.
"Oh, no." I don't know anyone in the government." I hastily replied.
"Hmm..." Paul hmmed while stroking his nonexistent beard. "Do you want to us to take you to the capital? It beats facing bandits and a two week walk alone."
Seeing how nice and kind-faced the couple are, I decided it was safe to ride with them. They won't kidnap me, my mind reassured. "Okay, sure." I said.
"Well, go right on the carriage. Ladies first." Robert said with a twinkle in his eye, just like how my father was when he talked.
"You don't have any belongings?" Mariette questioned, just like my mother would, peering back at the bushes.
I shook my head. Partly because I wanted to get rid of the thought about Robert and Mariette being my parents. "No, they're all in my pockets."
"Well, climb on, dear!" Robert urged.
While I was ascending the carriage, I couldn't help but notice how refined the couple are. Nice, rich clothing. A carriage that probably worth more than the house I live in. Or lived in, in this case.
"Go to sleep, Arabelle. You'll need plenty of energy in the city, trust me." Mariette suggested.
I looked out of the window towards the wonderful night sky. Breathing the fresh air, I realized I couldn't believe my luck. "Oh, I will." I answered Mariette.
With a slap from the reins, the driver of Robert and Mariette, or should I say the horse, took us racing on the road, straight towards the capital city. I can't turn back now, even if I wanted to. Wiht a happy sigh, I drifted off to sleep to the rythm of the horseshoes sounding on the road.
Whatever obstacle or help I get, along the way to the city and in the city, is something kind of similar to fate. It's unavoidable.
Sorry, my writing is so sucky. And boring. Let's hope Liana will help me fix it up and get it more interesting. lol. Don't worry, though. Because in Chapter Three, I will introduce an important character that will certainly brighten things up! Sadly though, Inevitable is a preview, so this is all you get, so if you're interested in reading, wait till I finish writing the book and then buy it and read it well. Yes. So yeah. Bye for now~

Inevitable - Chapter One
"Wait! Don't leave yet!" he says.
How did he know I was going to leave? I turned around to face the boy I've seen so much the past two months. I gulped, hard. I know I have to leave him behind.
"Why won't you take me with you? I know I'll be helpful! We can start a life together!"
It's now or never, my brain thought. Am I really supposed to put my love life before my family? "I'm sorry, Bran." I whispered through my hair. Then I turned and ran.
"Elle!"
I heard my name being screamed into the air. Oh, no! I widened my eyes. It has to be Rae. I turned my head to look for Rae, but the next thing I knew, I was facing the dirt road.
"Are you alright?" the sweet, little innocent voice of my younger sister asks, reminding me of all the times I spent with her in our small little village, Feyton.
Tears whelmed into my eyes.
"Are you seriously crying like a little girl, Elle? Even I don't do that anymore! Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Oh, Arabelle." Rae says, shaking her head with a sigh.
Rae's acting brings smiles to my lips, but reality instantly goes through my mind again.
"Listen, Rae. Tell mom I'm going somewhere and it's going to be a while before I go back home."
"Where are you going? I want to go too!"
A solemn smile flashes across my lips. "Rae, just do what I say okay? And tell mom I'll send letters explaining."
"But-"
"It's getting dark, Reina. Go home before mom worries."
Before Rae could say anything, I stood up, leaving my sister on the road and sprinted towards the gate that leads to the main road. I've got minutes before the gate closes for the night.
Quickly, I checked my pockets for all the belongings I'm bringing along. The stack of cash?
Yep. It will last at least a month in the city, enough time for me to find a job. That is, if I don't get robbed along the road.
Dad's watch?
Yep. Mom's going to hate me for it, but I need a reminder of home and especially Dad.
And lastly, my heart. I knew I couldn't focus with my heart still half at home With a firm nod, I sprinted to the gate and slipped out towards the dark road of my new life.
~ So that's it for now!
