Archetypes | The Wild Ingenue

When she wakes: she wakes heavy with renewed purpose, the world is not ready for the alley cat's soft feet, or the pinched, Rorschach marks her nails bite into her supple bruised thighs. 

She's fooled them all with her Versace mother of pearls, she had herself fooled too--but now the gauntlet's run, the clock strikes twelve and she finally knows the answer, she knows which way the wretched garden lawn of her wayward heart lies.

The cast of her skin clatters to the floor like spilled, pearlescent pennies, her nails run rivers through the fine vestal gossamer worn for her husband and out flies the heavy gilded collar.

She unwinds the Good Housewife teachings from her bones and lays bare her truth:

I am my mother's daughter and no cage can hold me. I was born of a wild thing and there I will return.

Knives Out (2019)

me reading back my own writing

[thewritingumbrellas]

Writing advice from my uni teachers:

If your dialog feels flat, rewrite the scene pretending the characters cannot at any cost say exactly what they mean. No one says “I’m mad” but they can say it in 100 other ways.

Wrote a chapter but you dislike it? Rewrite it again from memory. That way you’re only remembering the main parts and can fill in extra details. My teacher who was a playwright literally writes every single script twice because of this.

Don’t overuse metaphors, or they lose their potency. Limit yourself.

Before you write your novel, write a page of anything from your characters POV so you can get their voice right. Do this for every main character introduced.
