Because I Have A Few Minutes...

...I shall blog.

You might have noticed that lately on goodreads there's been a different story in the works. It's incredibly different from Diary of an Agent's Sister, and in my mind, it's more...possible? Diary is fiction, pure and simple. We Never Knew is more a work of realistic fiction.

We have Lucy, the good girl who just graduated high school and is trying to figure out where her life is going. Balancing between the religion she was raised in, her parents, and her own personal feelings, she must make some choices that will change her life forever.
We have Ryan. At about two years older than Lucy, he never had the opportunity to attend college, and thanks to some choices made on graduation night, he's now a single father. With his mom and three brothers for support he makes it work, but he can't help but feel like something is missing from his daughter's life.
Then there's Melodie. At fifteen months old, she's at a fun stage of growing and exploring the world around her. Should Ryan be concerned that she hasn't started talking yet? Why does Lucy find herself missing the baby after spending only a day with her? Why does she feel like she's meant to be a part of Melodie's world...forever?

Unlike Diary, I plan on making this a work of LDS fiction. If you have questions about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, you can go to this site. Or you can ask me, and I'll do my best to help. Why am I choosing to make this story with religious themes? Because there are good works out there that everyone's read about Catholic girls, Muslim girls, Jewish girls, and Atheist girls. I want my story about a Mormon girl to have a chance to be mainstream, too.

There are three chapters up right now, and hopefully more on the way.

For those of you who follow me because of Diary of an Agent's Sister, Diary 2 is still there in my mind. I'm simply waiting until I have more written of that one before I post it on GR.

Peace, love, and wishes that your weather is better than mine,
Jordy
