  • Although I would love to, I am not. I feel like it's a dream job, sure, but an unreliable one. Sometimes a book can take ten years to write and for others two, and just because you've also written a book doesn't gurantee you're automatically going to be the next Suzanne Collins or John Green. I am planning on majoring in International Business and from there working in the business side for a fashion company that promotes a vegan and ethical side, fast fashion is a nightmare. I have also been toying around with going into environmental science or political science to become a lobbyist, specifically for rainforests within Brazil; it's highly needed but dangerous due to large companies there hiring hitmen to kill popular activists and lobbyists inorder to protect business.

    Part One
    I hope so :0: My overall goal though is just to generate conversation about these issues. Like sure I can write a sick dystopian novel, they are my favorite and I kinda already have one thats a twist on The Jungle and The Most Dangerous Game; the point is though that although it would be a fun novel to write and have a good chance at getting popular, I feel like that novel could wait. The topics of mental health, poc representation and police brutality are topics that NEED to be addressed now. I mean that novel is going to have an underlying meaning that adresses animal agriculture in a radical way, not just a series that is made to have a love triangle, but still. ((Sorry I kinda lost track in my rambles as to where I was going with that xD))
    Yeah thats exactly what I meant. I mean if you look at alot of police brutality cases, many happen to poc men in lower class families. I feel like also though if I did it in a viewpoint of someone who lived in a cushiony lifestyle, that it will highlight the fall of someone who was well respected within the comm; giving the message that it can happen to anyone, regardless of social standings.
    I understand though exactly what you mean regarding poc in contemporary literature. Usually the only poc i've read are not the main character and are background people, or it's a book that revolves around gangs; thats kinda why I wanted to do the upperclass route, to avoid that stereotype. I know though if I were to take that route, i'm merely filtering it to the way society would rather read it, not sticking true to the many unfortunate cases where this has happened in the past. Idk, does that make sense?

    PS you're too kind for offering help ;O;

    END ((I wrote too much to fit in one message))
    What i've been doing is annotating famous books that have written in a unreliable narrative viewpoint successfully, so I can understand what tools I need to execute it properly. I also have talked to numerous people with paranoia schizophrenia to get first hand experiences on whats it like, what can I do to help the comm, and what not to do that portrays them in a negative light. Idk maybe I should read some autobiographies or talk to some of my friends who lived in Baltimore. They know alot of people who have experienced life in that position. ((I live in northern MD so you're good ^^))

    PART 2
    I want it to actually happen. I would like it for it to have happened to a close friend of his, and he is the last person to have seen him alive. The hallucinations however will come into affect by altering his perception as interegating goes on. It will crack him and make reality and what people expect his answers to be, blend. I think the main issue i'm having for it feeling off is, I primarily write in the viewpoint of women, so its obviously a stylistic change. Another is that I would like for the main character to be in a family with low income, but it would be hard for me to write about considering i've lived a pretty cushiony life. Like although I am a poc, I know people who are poc's and live in a low income family have a much harder life than I. I just haven't been expose to that perception of life so I need to do more research.

    PART 1
    Ah, good to know
    I previously didn't realize the spots for humans were full : o
    So those two will be the remaining humans, and the reserves will be robots
    Sorry, reservers! XD
    Awww, thanks ;0; I'm really excited about the concept since there aren't many unreliable narratives around currently. Plus I wanted to tackle the subject of schizophrenia and put a spotlight on how it affects someone through a first person viewpoint, as well as, how others treat those with mental illnesses. My only issue i'm having is the overall plot, like where does it go. I was thinking of initially having a murder take place within the small town he lives in and he ends up being pinpointed with the murder; he's going to be a poc as well. I was hoping by doing this, it shows the prejudice people with mental illnesses receive, specifically in poc. I'm still not sold on that though, something seems off.
    screaming. pleasantly screaming.

    I'm hella picky about it and legit have multiple chapters, just for different scenario's as to how I want to start it off, since i'm trashhh~~~~ To give a brief, very brief summary ((since im too lazy to do it all in one go)) it's written in an unreliable narrative viewpoint of a senior year teenage athlete who starts slowly developing paranoia schizophrenia and it's up to the reader to decipher between what's actually happening and what are his delusions.

    ((excuse my grammar, I just wrote a huge ass essay for a college app and am brain dead))
    Sure, I'll go ahead and send the 200btb, please send the 40k t next time you're online. My usernames is the same on FR.
