Fairytale

I just resurrected a book I got 22 pages into a year or so ago and have been working on it for the past two months. The writing from before is... well, I'll just go right out and admit that it's trash, but I'm hoping I can recycle it. First up: finish it. That's what I'm working on now. And typing it up.
If you want an idea of how *ahem* AWFUL my earlier writing was, here is the first paragraph of the book:

Essa spread out her wings and jumped into the wind.  She remembered the words her mother spoke to her when her wings matured, “Essa, when you are flying, you are one with the wind.  You go where it goes.”  But that was many years ago and Essa thought of herself as a practiced flyer. 

Believe me, it's a work in progress.What do you think?
