Update: I just made some changes to my Rapunzel story. The Rapunzel character is still a heart transplant patient, but I left out the telepathic spies and the authoritarian president and just have her be a member of a verbally abusive cult, though she changes her mind about staying in the cult. Oh, and her uncle and primary caregiver is the cult’s high priest, adding to the drama.
Hi, Noah. Nice to meet you.
So I didn’t get really into writing until I think around 2016. Before it was very much on-and-off. I wrote a book I initially thought would be a YA, but when I posted the beginning of it for my online critique group, somebody thought it was more for a younger audience. So rather than change it into a more YA appropriate story, I decided to make it middle grade. That book isn’t finished yet; it’s one of my many unfinished works. 😛
I think with kids’ stories, I’m free to create all sorts of crazy stuff. Like with one of my WIPs, I have a colorful, husky-like sled dog run across water as well as change the snow’s color with her sneezes. Recently, though, I am writing YA stories, including a Rapunzel retelling involving a girl waiting for a heart transplant and living in a community of telepathic spies working for an authoritarian president. So it’s “1984 meets Lurlene McDaniel.” 🙂
