I’m writing a book right now, but I’m not sure what to call it. I would also like feedback on my first actual sentences in my book. A brief overview of the book; Charlotte Price is a 13 year old girl living the American Revolution. Her father is making plans to leave for the war, while her mother plans to hire her off to a rich old lady to work as a housemaid, for income. A dramatic turn of events leaves her with no job, no money, and no where to go.

Charlotte jerked awake. There was shouting and a pounding on the door. It’s around midnight, on April 19, 1775, in Concord, Massachusetts, and the American Revolution is about to begin.

“Who’s there?” Charlotte hears her father ask.

“Paul Revere,” a voice responds. “The regulars are coming! We need all the men we can get!”

“I’ll be ready,” her father replied.

Charlotte’s heart raced. Her father is a going to fight? Now? Sure, he is a minuteman, but why is he going now? He had been making plans to go to war, but she hadn’t expected it to be this soon. And now Mama is going to send her to live with the rich old lady who lives down the road. Since her father is fighting, she needs to go to work so they don’t end up on the street. How I loathe going to live with that boring lady! She’s practically a century old! One would think she would be dead by now, Charlotte thought. I sure hope I don’t have to work for her long, how dishonorable that would be! If people find out, I swear I’d die! 

Hopefully you guys like this. If you give feedback, please be honest. I’d rather have more negative comments and have them be honest rather than more positive comments and have them be lies. Enjoy!
