The Hero's Prophecy - About Book 1

I am back as usual, and this time I am here to tell you about Book 1. Even though I am not done with the series yet, I decided to go back and edit book 1 so I can start publishing the series. Well, the editing is taking much longer than I originally thought. Why is that? Well, not only do I have to edit but I have to also make chapters. Why did I not make chapters in the first place? Uh... forgot? No, I just normally don't do chapters. Along with editing and making chapters I have to also make the book longer. Why? Because I want this book to be an actual novel from 300-400 pages long, maybe 500 for the later books. And then I got another problem. I was not paying attention in what point of view I was first writing it. So the first part of the book is in one view and then the rest is in another point of view. Because of this I have to change like the first 40 pages of the book to the right view. Add all those problems together and I get one very, very messed up book to edit. Well, does the book have a good theme? Of course! In my opinion anyways. If I did not like the book I would not be editing it, right? And I am spending all this time trying to fix these problems so it is obviously worth my time. Would it be easier to re-write the book (a third time)? Maybe... but I don't want to risk that. I really like the book so I will not give up yet.

What is book 1 about? Well, I might as well start explaining that. Ever since Steve, a fourteen year old boy, could remember he has been living in a farm town. The thing is, Steve never had interest in farming. He would always watch out the window at night when the Zombies and other monsters roamed the town and he would imagine himself killing them. For Steve's eighth birthday he asked for a sword. His mother thought, well, he won't do anything else besides watch monsters so that is how Steve got his first sword. Right when Steve had opened the gift and saw the sword, he skipped the rest of his birthday party and went outside to practice. Ever since then, Steve has done nothing else. As the years passed, he became more experienced and soon moved onto archery. By age thirteen, Steve told his mother and the mayor he would defend the town at night so the people could go outside without trouble. Both of them were reluctant until he sneaked out one night and killed every monster that came towards him. His mother was shocked, but she secretly knew this would one day happen. This boy, only just thirteen, would one day become a hero. Knowing that Steve would need to prepare for the future, she sent him away to practice in a town of fighters - Mineville.

Just two months before he would turn fourteen she sent him away empty-handed besides for some apples and a bottle of water. Steve willingly went knowing he did not belong in his hometown. Well, nearly instantly after arriving Steve gets killed. Luckily for him, people re-spawn after being killed by another person. He would not be so lucky if he was killed by a monster or fell to his death. Since Steve hates losing he instantly wanted revenge. But then he makes two more enemies - an expert archer and a hunter girl. Even with three enemies, Steve is only thinking about revenge and lets nothing get in his way. But then he runs across a message - one left by a thief. The message leads to something the sixteen year old thief took from Steve's main enemy. With a new mission, Steve sets out in search for this treasure not knowing he was heading for a permanent death and a major fight with an evil creature and his two main enemies. 

 I will stop here for today, but I will create another post within a few days about what happens next. Just so you know, Book 4 is the best in my opinion because it is filled with adventure, danger, and monster fighting. Plus that is actually when Steve's younger brother, Hero, and his friend, Sadie, really take action in the book. Hero actually tells part of book 4 instead of just Steve which I like because Hero is a very different person from Steve. Hero explains things differently, and is much more lively than his serious, boring brother who only cares about survival (I don't really like Steve much). Sadie is a lot like me, Hero is like Katie sort of, and Steve is sort of like how I act when I am playing single player survival mode or the Hunger Games in Minecraft. I actually think Book 5 could be the best, but I have not got around to writing it yet. Well, I'll be signing off here, but be ready for tomorrow's post!
