Welcome to Book 2 of the Alternate Dream Series!
I highly recommend reading Book 1 first before beginning this book.
The inspiration for this book came from a dream I had one morning. When I woke up I just couldn't stop thinking about it, so I decided to write down anything I could remember from the dream. And from there I decided to expand on it and make it into a book! Book 1 actually doesn't contain anything from my original dream but the storyline just made more sense to have all of that laid out before beginning this story. But I think Book 2 is a more fun story, since it contains crazy things I could only come up with in a dream ;)
***Warning: This book shows signs of depression, panic attacks, and thoughts of self-harm. It also mentions attempted rape but does not go into any details.
Names: Many of the character names have come from my family.
Nina (pronounced Nine-ah. Was my great aunt. That name, with that pronunciation, was common a couple generations ago where I'm from. But it won't upset me if you want to read it as Nee-nah, since that seems to be the more common pronunciation with people who are not from Southern Appalachia).
Pearl (my great great grandmother's name. In these books she hates her name and prefers to go by Pea, instead).
Fulton & Hezron (SO many men in my family have one of these names as their middle name. I'm told they were first names of great great something or others)
Meece (my grandmother's name)
Lena (a minor character in the story, but this is my aunt's name).
That's all for now, but there are plenty of unique names in the family I may pull from later. All the other names were just whatever popped into my mind.
Topics I'd particularly appreciate feedback on: This is my first time ever attempting to write a book. I appreciate constructive feedback, but please no rude unhelpful comments!
1. PLEASE send me your suggestions for a BOOK NAME! I had zero ideas so just threw something on there. (Dream because I literally dreamed a good portion of what will be book two, which is what lead to me writing this)
2. I feel like I need to throw in more quirky words, phrases, or experiences to show she's in an alternate reality, but haven't come up with more ideas yet. Do you feel that aspect is lacking as well? Or leave it as is?
3. Does the story line move too fast, too slow, or just right? Too much detail, not enough, not consistent? I did a lot of back and forth on what the pace should be, so let me know.
