Finished writing a 1200-word-ish bonus scene to flesh out two of the antagonists in my book, which I'll probably adapt into the actual manuscript as some video footage of an altercation the main cast reviews. It may not end up being useful at all but it was fun to write, which is all that...
yeah this would probably be formatted like a transcript, with whatever heading to specify what the purpose of the correspondence is and some kind of back and forth like:
Person 1:
Person 2:
My efforts have been concentrated in trying to learn more about Jamaican Creole/Patois, because I think it's a really interesting language but my family doesn't really speak it [they've been in the US since the 70s give or take]
All of my stories tend to have some elements of found/chosen family! Also usually unpleasant truths/withheld information/secrets that drive the narrative
my current WIP is a coming of age story that also has some elements of legal drama worked in due to the POVs [one MC is a detective and the other is the teenage victim in the case he's working turned witness]
The characters have been bouncing around in my head forever and I've been recreating...
I was active here about two years ago but dropped off for whatever reason, I revisited the old site to find there was a new one! Good to be back though :]
