HELLO I am set loose from the writing sideblog to ask mutuals if they would be willing to read a short summary of my novel? It's part of what I'll be submitting to agents and I'd love to get some feedback! I'm looking for what questions it leaves you with/if there's any confusion as to wording, etc. There's a lot I need to leave out based on the format and I want to see what someone who hasn't read the actual story thinks!

maybe a crash out the likes of which this town has never seen is the spiritual equivalent to thinking a bake sale to save the theatre department is better than, say, applying for actual grant funding

The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark

"Now cracks a noble heart. Good night, sweet prince; and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest." -Horatio, Act V Scene ii.

{prints}

The behemoth is done! Many hours, digital ink in Procreate on the iPad. This is my favorite thing I've made this year. I wanted to create a Hamlet piece that featured multiple scenes and characters in a more 'classic' style than my other Hamlet art, but it was definitely informed by my earlier pieces. I go into detail on this with a trip through memory lane on my P@treon. Including my versions of the characters while still having them be recognizable was also really fun! If you saw my earlier Hamlet posts on my blog, I think you can really see the evolution of my Hamlet (and his costume!) and Ophelia most.

How many references to scenes and characters can you spot?
