Publishing My Story

(The link to my story is to the right in Links)

Title: Two Different Worlds or The Lady of Thieves. The reason why there are two titles is because after thinking about the title, I thought it would be better to call it by something else because the story is about a girl who is a thief and a prince who is to be married to some princess , and they both (the theif and the prince) start that liking each other, but cant be together because of the difference in their ranks.

Author: Ahsaki Hawkins (DeviouslyDeviant on fictionpress.com)

Genre: Romance/Adventure/Fantasy??? There are a little bit of each in my story.

Pages: 8 (3 on fiction press)

Mentor Texts: Robin Hood: The Prince of Thieves

I don't exactly know if I got my idea for my story for Two Different Worlds/The Lady of Thieves from Robin Hood, but I notice that the names of are very similar. For Robin Hood its The Prince of Thieves, and for my story, Raven is the Lady of Thieves. Raven doesn't really steal from the rich and gives to the poor. She mainly just steals from the rich. My story takes place in medieval/renaissance times and like in Robin Hood, there is a place in the middle of a forest where outcasts live.

Audience: Maybe around 7 graders through 9th graders. I was going to add some parts in my story where a person dies, and there is a part in my story that talks about the main characters family being killed...

Writing Process: After getting an idea of what I was going to write about, I did a fretag pyramid on how I wanted my story to go. Then I started writing the story. I had my first draft peer edited and then I went back and revised and edited my story to get my second draft that would be looked at by Ms. Staff. I then edited my story again to get my final draft which I posted up on Fiction Press. com

Publishing Process: When I got my story ready to publish, instead of publishing it on paper, I decided to publish it on the internet on a website called Fictionpress.com I had to create an account, and then for some reason wait three days before I could publish it.
