About this Website
This website is created for a capstone at Science Leadership Academy. A capstone is a senior project that all seniors must finish to graduate. You work on the project all year long. My idea originated a few years back, and I decided that I wanted to write a book about mermaids. I had always liked mythology and fantasy novels. I decided that I wanted to be an author a while ago, but never completed any kind of book or gone through the process of writing and coming up with the story. Originally, I wanted my capstone to be to write the book. However, I realized fairly soon into the process that I needed to spend more time developing the characters and stories. If I took that time and also tried to finish writing an entire book, I knew the book wouldn't turn out very good because of lack of time. This gave me the idea to do a "website for the book." On this website, I would have fully developed characters complete with drawings, real history and mythology, a prologue, and photography (that would eventually become part of the book).
In the book, the main character, Nerida, finds an ancient book full of everything about mermaids. This website contains it's contents and more.
