You've already written an entire novel at 15? Could you at least share a chapter?

[Jimmy Page]

yes i have written a novel,Christopher Paolini wrote Eragon when he was 15 so im not the first lol .Its 452 pages,it took me 6 months to write it.its in norwegian but ill try to translate the first chapter and post it here a little later :)

[Jimmy Page]

ok here is the first chapter in my new book,im sorry if there is some spelling and grammar errors,i usually write in norwegian.
1.
It was a rainy day, the rain poured down and the clouds were grey as a pencils tip, it was a perfect fit to Erik’s mood. At this day 16 years ago his son had taken his sister and mother out for a trip in his new car, he had just gotten his licence and had gotten the car for his birthday. It was a black Hyundai with brown seats which was a production error, Erik still remembered everything about that car as if he had seen it five minutes ago, he even remember its registration, RH 30017. But for some reason Daniel had not been happy for getting the car, or finally turning eighteen, he was in fact a very depressed boy but only two people in the world knew why. His father and sister, he should never have been there; he should have gone back to sleep when his father told him to. But instead he came into the bathroom while Erik was in the middle of raping his daughter, Daniels sister. After that Daniel had been mute for months, his teacher started to ask questions but Erik had killed her curiousness by saying “That’s how children act these days”. Nobody ever suspected that Daniel was so traumatized that during the trip he pulled over on the other file and hit a trailer coming from the opposite direction. Killing himself, his sister and his mother. The thought of it made Erik shed a tear that joined the raindrops when it hit the ground. He had visited the graves of his family every year on the day of the suicide. Now he had to stop, he was going to move to Bergen with his new family and wasn’t able to do this anymore. He was saying his last goodbyes to his former wife, the only grave he ever talked to of the three. He stood there for a few minutes as a silent parting with his children, and started walking towards his car. The way down to the car had never taken that long for him, when he finally got down to the car and started driving down the road he noticed a car coming towards him in the other file, it was nothing strange about it, but for some reason he just noticed it. As it passed him he glanced down on the registration and on the driver out of habit, what he saw made his heart skip a beat and almost drive into the mountain wall. The car had no driver, all the brown seats in the Hyundai were empty, and the registration was RH 30017 with 1995 stickers on.

It's good, I like the way you built suspense in the end. Yeah there are grammatical errors, but I can still read it without problems. You planning to publish?

[Jimmy Page]

Thanks!I don't plan to publish it,but i really want to publish a book some time.When school starts ill ask my teacher to read through it and hear what he thinks of it cuz he is in the middle of publishing a book so he can might give me some good tips.

[Charlotte93]
