Prolouge to The Pending Plot Line of Zander Vale

INCOMPLETE,This section is just a bit of the prologue. Zander Vale, Age 18, Status:Full of himself.

In my life I have always found two things to be true. Number one, no matter how much you feel like arguing about it a mans shirt will always be more comfortable than a woman's. Secondly not to burst anyone's bubble fantasies or anything, but hope it will either make or break you. The sad thing about my second little truth is that hope -The a*****e it is- tends to favor breaking you. Now, I know what you’re thinking “That’s so pessimistic” and you dear reader are completely right. And yet, if experience speaks for itself than my experiences scream “SCREW HOPE AND THE F****R WHO MADE ME ME HAVE IT”. Now to just get the “Who the hell are you anyway, you pessimistic a*s?!” well, that’s simple my name is Alexander Kenneth Vale. Call me Kenny or Call me Zander, but call me Valentine and I will probably cry. Unless, you know it’s discount candy day and it's just after the dreaded V and you are like “Dude, if you let me call you Valentine I will buy you all the candy I see with that word on it”. Then sure have at it hell I will gladly let you throw chocolate at me at the expense of your wallet and a little bit of discomfort. Now for the sake of this little “pow-wow” let’s stick with Zander alright? Ha, it’s like I was going to give you a say! That’s good I crack me up I mean *Coughs* hmmm anyway… So I know that everything needs a “plot” and every story has to have those “The hell?” moments but at this moment in the “prologue” I am just going to go with “Screw that I’ll write what I want and if it entertains you well then go me”. Deal with it. Now lets begin the whole “Story”. I’m about 18 years old give or take a number, no number that I’ll say but A number. Now, I think that the whole giving the whole world a real representation of who you are is a good thing but I also think it’s cliche. So I’m just going to tell you how I feel it is. I mean everyone lies about their age, but I don’t think I’m lying at this point in time I just may or may not be stretching the truth to fit my needs. Next my gender well, I think that gender is kind of a useless thing. I mean, if you really need to know I’m a guy, but I think that I am free to be thought of as whatever. I am hopelessly in love with this guy too, so if you are a homophobic d****e nozzle please check yourself at the door. His name Sebastian and he’s so unattainable that just putting his first name in here is probably grounds for a trip to social Siberia. Which I think is sort of stupid I mean it’s the 2000’s, people let the hatred go. I get it everyone needs to know who has the bigger stick, but it shouldn’t be an “I’ve got the bigger stick so now I’m going to beat you with it” mentality. Seriously grow up and learn a little compassion. I feel like I’ve gone off topic again.. Oh wait there is no real topic, so never mind, I’m golden. What was I saying, oh yeah, I was doing that book cliche where I describe myself and talk about how “I am like totally such a babe” *shivers* I’m not that shallow. I mean I think I’m attractive, I mean I have hair, two eyes, a mouth, a nose, and well you know a head. I look like everyone else does I mean I’m human and that’s honestly all I care about. However, if you are so curious that every second you go without knowing your hair falls out there’ll be a picture of me on the last page of the book. So, no need to worry your follicle count will stay in tact. Sebastian, however, I will TOTALLY describe him in detail he’s gorgeous, blonde hair, blue eyes, a smile that makes you want to scream. You know, totally mmmmm material. If it ever got out that I wrote about him in here, I guess I would probably either get lynched or in the very least beaten with a sock full of ice. I say this, because revenge is a dish best served cold. Trust me on this one his fan club cronies would take it way too personally. Why, you may ask, does he have a fan club. Well, how’s this over talented artist and girls dig the artsy type. Don’t ask me why, I’m not really sure, however, I do have this one theory which is that girls dig artists because artists can make them look prettier than they really are. But, hey, that’s just a theory don’t quote me on it. Music, music has the ability to bring a whole room full of people to their knees with its beauty and elegance. I think that’s why I’ve always wanted to be a musician. I sing a bit I mean not like hard core epics but I dabble. I think if it weren’t for the fact that I’m quiet and I don’t particularly like most people I would totally have a following. I mean I like to keep to myself, but on the inside I am just dying to stand out. I want to capture an emotion in my music for each song and let the audience feel how I felt writing it. Or, well at least that’s my goal anyway. Hey, you know what they say dream big and do all you can do and good things will come to you. If I’m being completely honest with you here, it took every ounce of willpower I have not to quote The Jungle Book. I feel like this prologue went way off topic. I mean seriously, where the heck was I heading with this. Oh well, it is what it is and I mean if you dear reader are enjoying the ride than I feel obligated to give myself a celebratory pat on the back. Go me! I am totally rocking this writing thing. Well, now that my one sided banter with no one has progressed to a sadistically slow pace. Let's get on to the show. Hope to see you there!

Author's Note

I'm looking for honest helpful feedback, the character is meant to be very full of himself and a tad bit pessimistic. However, as the story develops so will he.

I love the voice that you develop in this piece! It is appropriately snarky for your character. Grammar appears to need some work in this story. For instance. I don't think that you mean a man's shirt is more comfortable than a woman. I think you mean a man's shirt is more comfortable than a woman's.
I think it is difficult to write as though you are talking at your reader, but you seem to have it under your command--I'd like to see how this progresses with the story. Is he going to continue talking to the reader throughout, or will he tell his story, and then provide commentary after---things to consider.

The whole basis for his story is it is told as he talks and learns and lives it. So it's basically a step by step go on how his life is and how he grows and copes with it. Like a diary but without the letter aspect.
