YES, this book has a plot and I know where it's going. It is not an endless television-show-like book but instead a novel.
YES, it has conflict: man VS man, man VS society, man VS nature.
YES, I try my best to show when I write and not tell.
YES, my characters do have character development. I do my best to give them each unique personalities and backstories which leads us onto the next section...
Main CHARACTERS
Ody Winter (PROTAGONIST):
~~~~~ Ody is a tall, skinny, fifteen-year-old boy with black hair that hangs in front of his eyes. He enjoys listening to music too loud and studying science. He is particularly exceptional at remembering little details but is terrible at admitting defeat. He is stubborn beyond reason and can hold grudges for ages.
Penny Winter:
~~~~~ Penny--Ody's younger sister-- is a tall, chubby, twelve-year-old girl with long braids and her own unique style. Penny enjoys designing and sewing her own outfits and gardening. She is great at listening to other people and giving advice yet lacking when it comes to fitting in. She struggles with keeping secrets and blending into the crowd.
Mae Winter:
~~~~~ Mae is Ody and Penny's pretty, blue-eyed mother who works as an editor at a newspaper company in New York City. She is great at pulling herself together and pushing through sad and broken times but is not great at handling stress herself.
Eric Bhurr
~~~~~ Eric is the single, African American, educated nerd with short hair and crooked glasses who worked with Devlin, Mae's ex-husband, and came over for homecooked meals years before Devlin and Mae split up. Devlin was a very playful or quirky man who is great at dealing with kids.
