Hello! Welcome to my thread! I truly have no idea what I'm doing, but here I am, hoping for the best!

The title is a Work in Progress, for sure, but it's what came to mind when thinking of what I'm planning...

Image
(AI generated image... sorry for any imperfections)

Plan: plot, plan, and begin to write a novella (not a full novel because i already know i don't have that in me)

    Goals
  • Write at least a little everyday
  • Develop some sort of basis for the plot
  • Come up with some characters
  • Try to enjoy myself :D

PLOT (still to be determined)
A murder mystery/thriller that almost directly follows the murderer and the chaos he's creating. The murderer in question is Dr. Fritz White, a psychiatrist. He's highly regarded by his friends, patients, and colleagues as he's a graduate of a very prestigious school. But, nonetheless, he has a secret none of them know: he's planning to intentionally take advantage of his clients and force them into the ground. (more to be released at some point...)

CHARACTERS
Dr. Fritz White
  • Gender: Male
  • Birthday: August 12, 1981 (42 yrs)
  • Appearance: About 6' 1" with short gray hair that has white streaks and a rectangular face with few wrinkles, a long torso with long arms and long legs to match, deep blue eyes that almost appear black, teeth that are almost unnaturally white, and a smile that haunts the room
  • Hobbies: Reading psychology journals, dabbling in experimental medicine
Other Facts:
  • The main character, but also the main antagonist
  • Psychiatrist with a medical degree from Cornell University
  • Serial killer who is mildly insane, as most are

Abbey Hayes

  • Birthday: January 22, 2002 (22 yrs)
  • Appearance: 5' 6" with straight black hair and a more cone-shaped head, a rather petite body, dark brown, large eyes with a rounded nose and thin lips, slightly crooked teeth but perfectly white
  • Hobbies: Hiking, puzzles, ice sculpting
Other Facts:
  • A patient of Dr. White's who has been diagnosed with Bipolar I disorder
  • Young and very naive - willing to believe anything Dr. White says
  • The first victim of Dr. White

Wes Grant
  • Gender: Male
  • Birthday: November 3, 1988 (35 yrs)
  • Appearance: 5' 10" with dark curly brown hair and a shorter, rounder face, gray eyes and a very triangular nose, neat facial hair that is mostly controlled stubble, dark pink lips with slightly off white teeth, and an average build
  • Hobbies: Studying criminal justice, taking care of sick animals
Other Facts:
