Everything else seems fine, but you can't be completely realistic at the same time because realistically most people would die in this scenario. Just keep doing what you've been doing and I think the story will be alright

And I read your, like, two new posts. She had a dream. Maybe her dream will guide her.

Speaking of eating oversized bugs, you can hear some crazy stories about survival, such as people biting their arms off, so maybe eating a scorpion isn't as far-fetched as it would seem, though I don't think raw scorpions are so edible for most people, unless you're Chinese or Les Stroud.

Written the first post of chapter 2. I can't believe I wrote a full post out of what is said in my plans:

"She finds herself in a cave which is basically rubble. She takes some time to rest and drink etc, put water on her painful wound which has been grazed. Thinks more about her dream. She finds some crossroads and then" Can't tell you the next bit, that'll give away the next part. :)

Two and a half lines turned into a full post. Wow. :)

Written a bit more. I have got tons of ideas. There's something for the ancient writings, there's still something for the dates, there's the current situation that they have now, there's some more thinking, and there are some other ideas that I can't tell you about because they're spoilers. This will surely make out to a chapter at the very least. :)

I've written technically one post more (1.5 posts complete to 2.5 posts complete), but I like to say that I've written a post and a half more. :P

I'm planning to write a little bit each day, whether it's as little as 1000 characters or as much as 4000. :D

EDIT: Roughly written a post more today. :)

Just read the few new posts. I like how the story is unfolding, I always liked dream worlds and adventures through them, though why is it that whenever I read a story, every main character has to be under the age of twenty? I suppose the coming of age theme has never died.

Anyways, as a suggestion, I think the story would become more interesting if the fantasy elements were expanded a bit, but only if you want to do that, or maybe you were already planning that. You know, the kind of fantasy that deals with the 'out of this world' things. Maybe her dreams and travel will end up in her walking into a parallel universe, or that's what popped in my head for some reason. Certainly wouldn't make much sense, but I had to think of a suggestion so that I don't feel useless.

Kudos for the gradual 'I typed a bit more' attitude, my own has basically plummeted.

I was actually sort-of planning the out-of-the-world things already, I was actually going to include it in the cave, but I was finding it a little unrealistic as I don't think all that would fit into a tunnel. However, if she gets lost and goes through another tunnel somehow (don't want to give spoilers) then maybe I'll include more fantasy. :)

EDIT: In The Hunger Games Katnis* (the main female character) was 16-17. Just thought this would help in the whole age thing. :P

Written a bit more. :3 Half-way through writing this I had a sudden idea which made the end of the current piece. And I also think that this will make for a nice chapter. The whole monster thing will be probably included in chapter 3, because that's probably what the chapter's going to be based upon. At the end of chapter 2, she's just going to be resting, I think. So many ideas. XD
