My First Novel- Chapter 1

Chapter-1

Writing had always been my biggest hobby. I started writing at the age of six. It started when I was asked to write about a pet cat in my composition book. Though I did not have any pets, yet I wrote about a furry white kitten. This was my first attempt at poetry.

Writing had always been a great source of happiness. Through it, writers express their feelings and thoughts about the world and society. But I preferred to write mostly fictional articles dealing with happy topics.

 As time passed, I started writing short stories. I was always fascinated by the way authors create and take us to a new world through their stories. Thus the desire to join them in their creation of happiness bloomed in me. That was when I decided to write a short novel.

My First Novel

My First Novel
'I wrote my first novel, when I was twelve years old. I completed it within six months. According to Microsoft Word, it had 338 pages.
          It was an age when I watched a lot of American T.V shows, and thus the story was set in the U.S.A . It was about a little girl who adopted two little kittens,and about incidents that followed it. It was one of my biggest dreams ....Shirley and her Angel Kittens'
    This is a short novel about how a juvenilia, written to find a place in every bibliophile's hearts ended up as a pile of papers in the author's shelf alone
