Since I obviously lack the motivation to write about books after I've read them, I'm going to stop trying to do so. I have, however, been nagged into using the space to put up the beginnings of a novel I'm attempting to write myself. Perhaps that will motivate me to actually write it. Or perhaps not - we'll see.
It has as yet no title, because I'm useless at titles. A preliminary synopsis:
In the city of Greyminster, an underground community lives called the Westgate Clan, who have taken over a collection of half-ruined houses. This community consists of abandoned children, mostly illigitimate or 'defective' newborns unwanted by their parents. After being run for over 30 years, the community is fairly large and still growing. The hero, Shadow, is chosen to take the job of messenger, bringing her out into the city of Greyminster. She attempts to find her parents and uncover the mystery of her birth, and is also noticed by a high-up government official as having potential as an assassin.
Any thoughts or ideas would be very welcome. Prologue and draft chapters will follow!
