I think the book that is actually going to get finished is the one I say fuck you to publishing rules. like why can't I write a 300k literary romance that just follows on woman for eight years of her life? 19th century writers can do that but I can't? exactly, I can do that, and I will.
#maybe I'll share some on here#if anyone remembers Imogene and townes which I'm honestly not sure I talked about much on here#they have found their ways back to me#and in a very weird form!#woah Tumblr is so advanced now#anyway I'm nearly finished with part one#I'm really in love with this story#I've finally figured out what I want to be writing#it feels so wonderful

WIP Intro: Morbid Curiosity #1 - Funfair.
Genre: Paranormal horror
Rating: M (17+) for now
Content Warnings: Murder, kidnapping, suicide
Grady's Fun Land. Turner Point, Pennsylvania.
The rubble of a once beloved family attraction, harboring sinister secrets. Aside from the scandal and misfortune that drove the park to its demise, it seems there's something else at unrest.
CHARACTERS
Macy Paige
"Well yeah, it's technically trespassing, but it's not like anyone's gonna prosecute us for it."
19. A college sophomore and budding photojournalist. When her professor told the class to "follow up on an unsolved mystery" for their latest assignment, he was expecting the kids to fake a bigfoot sighting, or write a tongue-in-cheek exposé about socks getting lost in the washing machine. But Macy has something else in mind, and she'll go to any length necessary to get her scoop.
---
Devin Montpelier
"Like the new coat? The pom poms only cost me fifteen bucks."
25. Childhood best friend of Macy's brother, and an annoyance she's grown long accustomed to. An adrenaline junkie who'd never turn down the opportunity to "go sleuthing." Crafty and creative, wisecracking and reckless, he keeps Macy on her toes, and offers up new perspectives when she can't quite find her angle.
EXTRAS:
Moodboard + teaser post
My Spotify Playlist for this project <3
CREDITS:

(also lol forgive the "concept sketch" of Devin's jacket, AKA the sloppy little colorful circles. I do not claim to be an artist by any means but whatever, it's fun.)
TAGLIST:
Lmk if anyone would be interested!

Hey writers! Everyone has their own style and yours is great. Some people’s writing is lush and descriptive and emotional, others are sparse and sleek and powerful, and others still are fast-paced and immediate and visceral. They all have their merits. No style is better than another. It’s all fine.

btw you should absolutely read stuff you don't agree with. you should think critically about it. you should reflect and find different stimuli and maybe even form your own thought based on or opposed to it. ideas aren't contagious and reading words someone else has told you are "bad" won't infect you like a virus and make you "evil". read with your own brain.

i think writing is so hard for me right now also is because i just don’t know where i am—like genre wise but also in my life. i haven’t done anything and i’m only 19 and i just haven’t lived much at all, or i’m in the middle of things happening and i need to be farther away from it maybe? and i do not want to write ya and i feel incapable of writing about college while i’m in it but i feel so ridiculous writing about people so much older than me so just. what do i do?
#i know all writing is useful and it’s practice but#i’m someone who wants to get published and it is sort of terrible to work so hard at something that you know won’t be seen my another soul#and that it probably shouldn’t too
