Last Week of Preptober


It’s the last week of Preptober… Oh my…  I ain’t even ready.

I did work on some Preptober items.  I did come research on my cover…  I may have to change it.

I ain’t gone be ready.  Yes, I used Ebonics.

Preptober Prompt: Emotions of the Novel


This one was hard for me.  For the most part, the novel is quite sad and melancholy.  There are moments of brightness, but overall, it’s miserable.  But, that’s the key… Gossip makes everyone miserable.

It’s TENSE for most of the story.  It’s also MISERABLE.  There’s quite a bit of RESENTFULNESS, HURT, ANGUISH, and DECEIT.

I would say…
It’s a tense miserable novel with a lot of hurt and resentment.

There is some relief and hopefulness towards the end.
But, misery and hurt are the key emotions in the whole IDLE TALK SERIES.

I guess “Emotions” by H-Town can be added to the soundtrack of the novel… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ymj35w2hsCQ


Preptober Prompt: What Worries Me About My World


I’m a little worried that I only planned out four specific places in the story, but there are several other places that I mention in the story and I’ve given no concrete thought to them.

There is Helen’s house, Mary’s house, Mary’s school, Angela’s, Tammy’s, and Karen’s job.  In my mind, they are only there, but the reader doesn’t need to “know” about these places in any detail.  I’m hoping that holds true for the whole story.
