The Atonement of a Writer
Lilianne Marineau, aka Lili, a struggling writer like you and me, wakes up to find herself in the body of Arielle Dumont, the female protagonist in her own, half-written novel. What would happen next? She sure as hell doesn't know. At first, all Lili wants to do is survive, and is overcome with the feeling that she had been bound by chains of her own making. Soon enough, though, she realizes she had been atoning for the wrong thing--and maybe, just maybe it was not her fault. A story of a writer who has to live as a character in a world she hasn't quite fully developed yet. A terrible writer with terrible concepts of magic in a fantasy world--and yes, there are glitches. TW: anxiety/depression/existential crisis esp in the earlier chapters, but quite mild, nothing we all haven't experienced before (I think anyone would reasonably panic in MC's situation). Still overall fairly lightheartedComplete

I'm sure we've all heard this popular love quote that says; If you ever have to choose between two people, always choose the second person because if you truly loved the first person, you wouldn't have fallen in love with the second.

And the worst of it all, what happens when fate makes the wrong decision for her, one that could cost her the life of someone she loves? *** "Miss North, you're fired." The beast in a suit nonchalantly declared to me as I fought the urge to grab the mirror on his desk and smack his face with it. "You gave me twenty manuscripts to edit in just three hours." My voice reverberated in a the four walls, not giving a damn he was my boss. "And you failed to do it. Now listen here, I don't work with a lazy, dull, incompetent, unreliable and irresponsible mediocrity of an employee who's not half as committed as the owners of this organization which unfortunately for you, includes me. And, I'm sorry, I'm not Alan. Never in a billion years, will I be smitten with you." "Now don't let me repeat myself, Miss North. "You're fired." Gracefully, he pressed a button on his desk. "Security, report to my office and escort Miss North out." *** Completed : 20th September 2020 Enjoy!! The moment you open this book, well, you'll testify for yourself.Complete

"Where am I?" "That's none of your concern." "If my location isn't my concern, then whose is it?" "Mine, and I know, so you're fine." He finally was able to yank me on top of him. I elbowed his face trying to get up once again. "Look, I told you already. I don't know what the fuck you think this is, but I am not the fucking one. Don't test me. Get your hands off of me or I swear to god I'll choke you." "I'd enjoy it." the minute the words left his mouth I punched him in the throat then pressed my forearm into his neck as he sputtered. "I told you not to test me. You may think you're crazy, but I promise you I'm crazier." He smirked up at me and my stomach dropped. Maybe I was wrong. _________________________________________________ Nani figures that her kidnapping is the worst thing that can happen to her.
