People could at least pretend to care

[cafe-pal-alma]

Querido Planeta

Perdón por hacerte tanto daño. Perdón porque, por nuestra ignorancia, te consumes día con día. Perdón, porque nuestro egoísmo, nuestro ego y nuestra falta de conciencia nos han llevado a un consumismo desmedido que acabará con tu belleza. Perdón, por no hacer que todos cambien para salvarte. Porque me sigo equivocando y te sigo lastimando. Pero, te prometo que dedicaré lo que me queda de vida a seguir mejorando mis hábitos, a alzar la voz por ti, a cuidar cada uno de tus rincones. Porque vales la pena, porque eres hermoso, porque nos has dado todo y nosotros te hemos quitado de más.

I had to teach myself to fall in love with the right people. The more I learnt about myself, the more I realized my eyes were a lost empty sky. So I clung to any burning star that could fill me. They were unapologetic to what fire destroyed. Their presence in a room took up the space within my own beating heart. Their touch was a thief who left me homeless in my own body. The fire they burnt was a weapon they disguised as love. So I took my night sky of eyes, to painters and poets. People who know art is a woken memory. People who believe war is a river we all drink from. But have learnt to stay with a thirst cradled in their throat. I've never meet a perfect person. But I've meet people who would rather be a rose then the winter. Who know how much a galaxy weighs , from years of holding burning stars.

WIP Prep Tag

@silknscribbles tagged me to do this, so why not!

FIRST LOOK

1. Describe your novel in 1-2 sentences (elevator pitch).

Large families tend to have dark secrets, some greater than others. Most are heavily aged, while this one is fully alive and continuing to unravel.

2. How long do you plan for your novel to be? (Is it a novella, single book, book series, etc.)

I’m not really sure yet, but I’d assume it would be a single book.

3. What is your novel’s aesthetic?

V.C. Andrews

Suburbia

The American dream

Shadows

Gloomy days

4. What other stories inspire your novel?

Anything by V.C. Andrews, she’s the queen of everything f*cked up. Plus she knows how to write about a family extremely well. As well as Haunting of Hill House.

5. Share 3+ images that give a good feel for your novel.

None of this photos are mine :)

6. Who is your protagonist?

Betty Miller, she’s around seventeen years old, with an eight year old brother. She’s very witty, smart, and hardworking. She has morals and is very willing to stand up for herself and her little brother.

7. Who is their closest ally?

Her closest ally is of course her little brother, and her future partner ;)

8. Who is their enemy?

Her enemy is probably her father, he’s an alcoholic and after some tragic events he’s come to betray in more ways than imagined.

9. What do they want more than anything?

Freedom, and justice is all she wants from life.

10. Why can’t they have it?

Life just hasn’t been treating her favorably, she was never given the upper hand.

11. What do they wrongly believe about themselves?

She believes that she knows all there is to know about her hell-of-a-family, little does she know there’s a lot more to every story she’s heard.

12. Draw your protagonist (or share a description)!

I don’t want to draw her because then I’d be forced to have a solid image, so here’s a description!

She has tanned skin, about 5′6, pretty muscular, shoulder length brown/black hair and brown eyes. Her outfits look pretty average, just sweaters, jeans, and boots.

PLOT POINTS

13. What is the internal conflict?

Life and Society v. Man

14. What is the external conflict?

History v. Time

15. What is the worst thing that could happen to your protagonist?

CPS come and take her brother away, or she gets caught leaving the house.

16. What secret will be revealed that changes the course of the story?

Well I think it’s become pretty clear it’s something about her family, isn’t it?

17. Do you know how it ends?

Not really, I write as I go or else I get bored.

BITS AND BOBS

18. What is the theme?

All is possible with hard work and perseverance, and that the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.

19. What is a recurring symbol?

Dripping water

20. Where is the story set? (Share a description!)

I would say 80′s suburbia, in the average little town in the household of a once rich lineage. It’s always foggy there, and it rains often, mud is bottled and sold at the wiccan stores, and gardens are great there.

21. Do you have any images or scenes in your mind already?

Of course! It’s good to have an idea of what’s going to happen later on.

22. What excites you about this story?

The mystery! I’ve recently discovered some new writing genres that I’m in awe about.

23. Tell us about your usual writing method.

It’s usually at the end of the day, I get in comfortable clothes, tie my hair out and whip out my trusty laptop. Sometimes I keep books on my bed that I want to use to refer to for writing techniques. If nothing flows, I write it anyway and go back to delete rather than not write anything.

I’m not going to tag anybody because I don’t know who to tag :/ But you’re so welcome to do it!!

ته د خیالونو مېلمه یې، خو د ژوند په کوڅو کې دې ځای نه غواړم.

ستا احساس راسره وي، خو حضور دې زړه نه مني.

یاد دې راځي، خو سترګې دې نه غواړم ووینم.

خوشحاله یم چې پېژندلې مې، خو یوازې د یوې خوږې خاطرې په بڼه.

دا تر ټولو خوږه لحظه وه، تر اوسه یې د خوب رنګ لرم،

هیله مې دا ده، چې هماغه خوب، تل خوب پاتې شي.

تل او تل
