"Apart from this, the Manor was a towering masterpiece. It was constructed by men passed long ago, generations past, and they had done so much good for the world that it was impossible to forget all the good memories that had been made from the cement-hard truth of the past. Tears had been shed, blood had been spilled and families had been torn apart but people stayed strong with the bulging muscles of what made them them, what made their soul so strong and so capable of doing what was possible. Friends had been ripped apart from each other, their bonds broken, their hearts forever lost in a pit of misery and despair—yet so life went on, so the circle spun like they do and so legends were weaved from lies and deception. From this came acceptance and punishing fear, the end of stories and the beginning of killers’ impostor-like vigilante ways of life. The Manor was overshadowing and intimidating, it was the cause of so many stones on so many stones on so many tears that had been wiped away by strong forearms."

the story I'm writing currently came to me in a dream and that has made it 100000x easier to write because I already have my plotline and names and personalities and it's awesome

I posted by accident, not realizing that the first page wasn't necessarily the last page. Whoops!
I'm glad we can edit our posts. I am REALLY REALLY REEEEAAALY relieved.

One and one

We are one

We are dark we are light we are shadow we are day

But five but four but three but two?

No no no they are but the lost numbers

The lost entities of mathematician's impostor minds

Diabolically gifted vials of shattered hope deceased from the moment they were born

From the moment we were born

And darkness

And fading

And shattered and nothing

We are one

But we are nothing

And so we fade with the gift of life that is lifelessness.

tfw ur new pitch is just "dgm's alma arc meets no.6 except with space scifi lesbians"

for those of u that don't know, the alma arc is basically Pain Arc of Gay
and. all of no.6 is pain arc of gay tbh.
scifi, dysfunction, ANGST ANGST AND ANGST, and shipping
and suffering
And shipping.

I'm so mad at slightly younger me because i'm trying to type up the written manuscript for this book and I figured that if I pushed it Incould be done typing it all up in two weeks. But no, instead I discovered that theRE's nO pLOt ArgHhH. So I've now been slogging through 200+ pages of useless filler blabbering scraping it apart for useful material and pinning that material together with plot threads for about a month.
THEN I had the bright idea to go consult my plotting notebook, where I had previously written down the plot for this messy stew of words. Do you know what I found?!
I wrote down the plot for 3/4's of this book as, I kid you not;
-they get away from the people working for the badguys
-they get out of the bad place, using a special rock
-they decide to go against the badguys
-they formulate a plan to defeat the badguys.
That's basically it. WhAT thE heLllLL aM i SUppoSEd to Do wITh ThAT?!
Also this book is the second in a series and I wrote the first one before I even knew what plot was, so now I have to re-write both of them and I just...ugGHHhhH i'm sO AnGRy rIGhT nOw =^=

On the bright side though, i'm super invested in these characters b/c I started this series when I was, like, 12, and it's actually really awesome to finally be able to do these figments in my head a little bit of justice.
Plus, I'm super excited because I've found the perfect song for this couple and it's called Pieces by Rob Thomas and now i'm playing it on loop and shipping my own characters ^w^
