What do you think of the opening of my book/story? Obviously I JUST started. But I want to make sure I’m off to the right start.
I gazed out the fingerprinted windows of my mother’s old BMW as the miles of trees and grass flew by. I never knew three hours could go by so slow. Next to me, driving, my mom was making numerous calls not paying any attention to my sighs of boredom. Finally I saw the giant "VSA" sign on the side of the road. My mom pulled in, right as my heart started racing. I’d seen the pictures on the website, but I’m sure my eyes have never seen reality so beautiful. Vermont Summer of the Arts. Just as I’d dreamed. When the car had been parked, I hopped out and grabbed a few of my bags, while my mom grabbed a few as well. We headed into what looked like a very large cabin, as hundreds of other artists filed in with their families to hear the informational meeting. Inside, it felt as if the building had grown ten times in size. Teens from wall to wall, some already taking out their cameras and canvases. A lively old woman draped in a tie dye wrap stepped up onto the stage in the front of the auditorium.
"Welcome to VSA. All of you were accepted because of your artistic talents. I hope you let your creative minds flow here more than ever, this is, of course, our purpose."
By then my mind had started wandering, as it normally did during speeches, while I peered out the window near me to the gorgeous hills full of tall trees and wildflowers. I couldn’t wait to get my sketchpad and sit there for hours drawing the nature around me. I looked back into the auditorium scanning the faces, to see if I knew anyone other than my mom. Suddenly a boy sitting near the back of the room caught my eye. I knew him. Art classes? No. School? That’s it. I wasn’t the kind of person who knew everyone’s name in our grade, but I was pretty sure he was part of our class. Transfered in, maybe last year?
Thanks, Emma.

I think this book has some real possiblility.
But–what’s up with a bunch of books starting w/ the main character in a car or moving or something ever since Twilight came out?
Still. It’s good.
it wasnt the best story bcz i would want more to it and be even more descriptive at the end and begining. It was overall very professional.
