An excerpt of "Good v. Bad"

Once there was a girl who lived on a nation called Artea. It was peaceful and everyone was happy. It was a nation of art and technology. Swordaria, a friend nation of Artea, is a nation of weapons. Solaria is a nation of the sun which is also friend nation to Artea. They help each other like Swordaria needs technology to make weapons from Artea and Artea gets weapons from Swordaria. Solaria powers up or gives energy to each nation with the power of the sun. Solaria get weapons and technology in return for powering up the two other nations. They also have nature like wild animals like foxes and deer, fantasy animals like dragons and fairies, and tall trees and exotic plants. But then a nation called Darkeria attacked and war was emerged upon the 3 nations. Darkeria wanted power and conquer every nation. The war started about 6 years ago.

Now 6 years later, war is still going on, that girl’s name was Arta and she’s the princess of Artea. She has black, long, shiny, yellow highlighted hair, sparkly blue eyes, and a love for art. She is artsy and playful. Her little twin half sister, Musa has brown eyes, red highlighted, dark blue, shoulder length hair and love for music. She loves having headphones around her neck and resents her father. They have same father, born at the same time but different mothers. They both are now 16 years old and are sophomores. While there is war going on, she and her half sister attend school called Art Tech Academy; it’s a boarding school, where it is away from the war zone. The palace is a 10 miles away from school (her family is there). Her favorite things to do are drawing, horse back riding, and hanging out with friends. Her friends are Stella and Lacus. Stella has blonde hair and brown eyes. She is the princess of Solaria. She cares about fashion more than school and is preppy and cheerful. Lacus has light brown hair and blue eyes. She is kind and friendly. She is Swordaria’s prime minister’s daughter. Arta, Musa, Stella, and Lacus are in the same class and are best of friends. Lacus and Stella moved temporally to Artea because of chaos and battles on Swordaria and Solaria.

Is this a good beginning to the story? If not, how can I improve it?

  2. I like all the detail you have here in these two paragraphs. They bring in a lot of information and help introduce what is going on in the story. Though you may not want to place so much so soon. Try spreading this out a little more, you can put all this information about Arta while having her doing something that relates to the plot.
