Lady Eleanor: sitting by the window, holding a book I-I can't stand it anymore, you know? This sham… this prison.
holds her hand hey look what’s the point of it all…
pulls her hand away Don't try to comfort me! It won't change anything. I hate being treated like property, traded off by my own brother.
oh hush, he probably cares…
stands up abruptly Care? Do you seriously think he cares about me? After selling me off like some piece of furniture?
well no… but he probably wants a good relationship with his sister.
narrows her eyes, trembling with anger Wants a good relationship with his sister? That's rich!
it’ll get better, best just to get through it for now.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Get through it? Easy for you to say!
walks over and hugs her maybe not easy for you, but at least I’m here.
sighs heavily, leaning into the hug Y-You're right... I'm not alone in this... Thank you, Trendmuse.
wipes away tears Alright, I need to start thinking of a plan to escape this nightmare. I won't let my brother control my life anymore.
well maybe first we should address what you want to do with your life.
paces back and forth, clenching her fists What do I want to do with my life? That's a question I've been asking myself for years.
well what are your interests?
stops pacing, takes a deep breath My interests... Well, I've always had a passion for writing.
really? any specific type of writing?
pauses for a moment, gathering her thoughts Yes, I enjoy writing poetry and short stories. It's my way of expressing myself, of making sense of this chaotic world.
nice, ever considered publishing?
Lady Eleanor decides to pursue her passion for writing and starts submitting her work to various publishers
a month later, she gets a letter in the mail
opens the letter with trembling hands, eyes wide with anticipation A publisher wants to publish my work! This is my chance to escape this nightmare.
clenches her fists with determination This is it, Trendmuse. I'm going to prove my brother wrong.
a week later, she’s all set up with her own office and publisher
sits behind her desk, surrounded by manuscripts and notes I won't let anyone control my fate anymore. I'm going to make a name for myself in the literary world.
always there to help whenever she needs it
reaches out and grabs a pen and paper I need to write down my ideas before I lose them. This story, it's been haunting me for years. It's time to bring it to life.
she pulls up her laptop and starts working on her novel
typing furiously, lost in her creative process The words flow through me like a river, each sentence bringing my characters to life.
tends to her every need while she writes
pauses, looking at the screen with a proud smile I've done it. My first novel is complete. Now, it's time to share it with the world.
