I will be attempting to finish a novel!!! My first intro and chapter has been uploaded, and the plot follows a young princess who wants to be a knight, and to grow strong and be powerful, rather than sit still, be pretty, and wed some stupid prince. However, she grows a strong friendship with a commoner girl, the orphaned Iza who is tasked with looking after her younger brother Seth. It will be a forbidden romance, with the fantasy world they live in not looking kindly to women breaking out of their normal "feminine" roles, and LGBTQ people are not accepted. I'm so excited, but fair warning, I am planning on including some mature themes such as eating disorders, selective mutism, and abuse. It will be around 16+. Please wish me luck!!! Hopefully it will be around 50,000 words, like the challenge says.
Edna began to feel like one who awakens gradually out of a dream, a delicious, grotesque, impossible dream, to feel again the realities pressing into her soul. — Kate Chopin, The Awakening
