I'm working on that Victorian fantasy I talked about forever ago. Well, I guess I can't say I'm working on it so much as I'm toying with it. 

Here's the opening paragraph:

Ellie rubbed the curse mark on the underside of her wrist. It appeared on her thirteenth birthday, a sure sign she’d inherited the curse through family lineage. It wasn’t her fault, but people looked at her like she deserved the curse, like it was a punishment for some terrible deed. When in fact, she had no idea where the curse had come from. Neither did her parents.

Curses are always fun! I'm glad you're still working on this, since, I like Victorian fantasy (I might be biased...^_^).

Ooo, what sort of curse?

Umm...I'm not really sure yet. I haven't quite figured out all the details! But I know it has something to do with treasure and ships.
