Honestly, my story's a big "I love you" note to my siblings.
My family's gone through some pretty rough times, and my brothers and sister and I have done some things, particularly to each other, that didn't need to happen. But our experiences had us grow into the adults we are today. We had to fight through the crud in order to call each other best friends by the end of it. The thing is, during all that time, I was in the middle of building a fantasy world.
So what basically resulted is a horrifying fantasy world full of monsters and ghouls, with the main characters being imperfect siblings trying their best to right their wrongs. Hopefully my novel will make it in this upcoming Writer's Camp. But I honestly don't care if it makes it big or not.
Write for your love for others, not for the numbers.
