*I am aware that this is short but it is just a prologue so I assumed it would be okay.*

Prologue:

Delicate crystals of frost embraced the bottom of the window. The warm rain ran over them, turning them into puddles of water. As the drops slid down they left streaks of smaller drops behind them, leaving it to be collected by another.

You could say that the rain and the frost are just like life. You could say that the rain is the tears from so many. You could say that people who think this are crazy. But who knows? Maybe I am.

Very nice starter i can see lots of potential coming from this piece. However your last line when you say

When you say "Maybe I am" are you refering to the crazy part. A good thing about this piece is that its vague which is good in a prologue but maybe a little too vague. There are several different styles of Prologues you could go Shakespeare and do a poem for a prologue or you could do Frank Beddor (The Looking glass wars fantastic book i suggest you read it) and start with a scene in the middle. If you need any help PM me. this looks great and i can see a lot of great stuff coming from it!

You're new? Great seas! Why haven't you gone to the Buddy System yet?



You're dealing with writers. The words "normal" and "usual occurrence" do not compute.

I'm aware that it doesn't reveal too much but that was kind of the point. You'll see what I mean later one. I start explaining more into the story.

And I have read the Looking Glass Wars and while I agree that they are fanatstic it's not my style of writing.

This is actually pretty good despite its shortness. I hope you continue writing, it seems very intiguing.

I like how you describe the rain melting the frost and then tie it together with the girl thinking she could be crazy.

Your choice of words were really good too.
