Chapter 1: Kelsey

Oh hey, an update!  I've actually been working on my own novel for the last few weeks, so this has been kind of on the back burner a bit while I've been working on some of the worldbuilding stuff.  Since that's (mostly) done now, I can finally put time back into this thing!  Hopefully from now on I'll post a bit more frequently. You know what I said before about the prologue not being horrible?  Well, in the first chapter we meet our viewpoint character for the rest of the book.  The quality of writing takes a steep nosedive from here on out, folks.  And we're in the first chapter. Chapter 1: Kelsey We open on Kelsey Hayes (an admittedly pretty good name when compared to, say, Isabella Swan), a recent high school graduate, whining about getting a summer job, which is a really great (read: annoying) voice to open with. "Ahead loomed the future: college, a variety of summer jobs to help pay for tuition, and the probability of a lonely adulthood."
