Hello. New to the server. Writer of fiction, about 60% into my new novel about a programmer/punk guitarist having a mid-life crisis. Part wish-fulfilment part autobiography 😁 Looking to connect with other writers. #amwriting@amwriting
@alhatch@amwriting Heyooo! I write basically for mental health reasons to give fictional characters happy lives together. Getying back in after a bit of a dry spell. Welcome.
@pelielios@amwriting That sounds like the best reason to write I've ever heard!
I basically need an outlet for the stuff in my head, i write poetry and songs, and it's beyond time to get my novel finished 🤣
@alhatch@amwriting Thank you! It sounds much nicer the way you put it, vs me being like "oh, I'm not safe alone with my own thoughts."
Even my "villains" are good people dealt a bad hand. Camille is a prolific poisoner-assassin. But... he's also a jubilant, exuberant fun-loving guy! He has a job, that's all. It's an avenue to restore his family's good name and he tries not to think about it.
His cousin Merveille really DOES love Phon, who constantly trashes her to all who will listen.
@pelielios@amwriting hey whatever works! My MC is partly wish fulfilment, he's cooler than me and plays in a band which I was never extrovert enough to do!
