Untitled Novel Writing-Introduction

So today I wrote the introduction to a novel that I am making. It is based around the writing I did a little while ago I named 'The Quest'. So I suppose here is a teaser of sorts for the novel I will be writing. If you have any ideas for titles or plots I would be happy to hear them, because I have a general idea but am partially in the dark as to where to go with this. If you would like to read 'The Quest' first here is the link right here. Without a further a do, here is my introduction...


I wake to the glistening rays of sunlight making my curtains luminescent as they struggle to withhold the intense light. Groggily I sit up, mornings aren’t my thing. My hair, wild and knotted, straightens itself as if an invisible hair brush just swept through it. I still don’t understand how it does it. I wipe the sleep out of my eyes, as I stumble my way through to the pristine kitchen. Car horns honk noisily many floors below. A still warm plate of waffles and blueberries waits for me on the long dining table. Our butler always knows how to cheer me up on a Monday.

As I contentedly munch on my breakfast, I gaze down upon the city.  Miniature figures stride purposefully on the sidewalk below. Others commute to work in the long traffic jams. I wonder what each of their stories are. After all everyone has stories. Big or small. Isn’t it interesting how you might be a chapter in someone else's and yet they might be a mere sentence in yours? I find it that way at least. Sometimes I think that I would trade everything to just have someone else’s story, no matter how big. Because my story isn’t quite so simple or straightforward. I suppose it never could be in the life of a mind reader.

    I am so excited by the beginning of your novel. You have me well and truly hooked with your rich vocabulary, vivid images and wonderful personal voice coming through in your writing.
    You have done an amazing job of introducing the character and setting the scene...I can't wait to read what comes next!...
