Day 2

Unfortunately I didn’t have time to write a passage , so I’m going to use today’s entry to explore some characters that have been introduced.

Alice: Main character, only child, mother is dead and father is an out-of-touch stay at home writer. This leaves her grandfather on her mom’s side to be the closest family member she turns to. However, *spoiler alert* her adventure begins when she finds out her grandfather has gone missing, with some strange people asking about his whereabouts.

Heather: Alice’s closest friend, although they couldn’t be more opposite. Her mother owns the town bakery, where she and Alice have part time jobs.

Billy: Local notorious bully. Comes from old family of the town, so he’s rich and influential. Has actually known Alice for quite a while since their mothers were high school friends. That doesn’t stop him from treating her horribly though, or ridiculing her absent-minded father.

Mysterious dark-haired boy: Slowly becoming a very important part of the story, but he’s my least developed character. Ideas involve him being rumored to being a witch’s son, being cursed, etc. None of this is actually true, but his trouble lies with seeing things around him connected to Rorrim that people normally shouldn’t be able to see. His power is connected to people such as Edgar Allen Poe or Lewis Carroll, those thought to be mad when in fact their work is tied in some way to seeing the land of Rorrim. Alice is the only character thought to be connected to what lies beyond the mirrors, but I’m starting to think this character has more potential than I thought.

It has come to my attention that in order for Alice to have an adventure in Rorrim, there needs to be some way for my audience to know what’s happening back in our own world. I first thought I would do this through the character of Heather, but I think it would be more interesting to explore the character of the dark-haired boy.
