Writing for those adults who've been most of there, done a lot of that, and come to the conclusion adulthood is overrated. Except for the kids. #amwriting
#PitDark#R#F#A#NA In an Alt-Austenian London brimming w/ magical fights and political intrigue, a jaded electricity mage & his estranged ex-pupil fight for her child, each other, and mankind’s electric future. SPARKS: a Dark gaslamp w/ a love triangle. Carnival Row*Mistborn.
@AuthorJEJack It would definitely change the kind of stories I write, seeing how much hell I put my characters through. Also, got a few issues IRL that I'd write daaarn long stories about
@PenseeCorner Actually I pursued a "real job" career b/c I never thought I'd make enough from writing, and conversely I didn't give it my all b/c I wanted time for writing. So perhaps I'm a looser on both fronts. But what about getting a following from... fanfic, per example?
@PSLiterary@carlywatters Motherhood as core of a political fantasy? A Queen and a rebel fight for the son the rebel gave the King before killing him. The winner shall determine whether mankind discovers electricity, or stays in the dark forever. And there's a brooding anti-hero becoming a father, too.
@adamkauthor @PenseeCorner Absolutely! And I say it a the well-off child of Holocaust survivors. They took us all over, as a revenge on their childhoods I think, but from childhood we saw how their generation was "richer" than ours.
@PenseeCorner Most of the great classical author. No, all of them, had way less experience than you. No TV, no internet, limited access to books. Also, shallowness doesn't disappear with miles. Your librarian is your best friend, and two literature textbooks. Wishing you success!
@jenichappelle A Victorian dark romantic fantasy about Spark electricity wizards, centered on an idealistic rebel fighting her Queen to allow humans to discover electricity. Between them the Royal baby Adele Bred but kept, a fearsome Sparklord of unknown allegiance, and mankind's future.
