Setting the Mood

I’m slowly making my way through this difficult bit. It’ll need a lot of revision, but I can do that after I get a lot farther along. When the exact feel of what’s happening is clearer for me.

Part of my issue, I’m sad to say, is that I’ve been watching Heartstopper too much. It’s so sugary and youthful. I can’t quite get into a dark enough headspace with all that sweet romance swirling around with it. I do intend on some wholesome moments later on, but right now is not that time.

To help remedy this I started working on Carmilla. So far I still love it. The ease with which a scene is painted, the emotions enwrapping your own. The dark foreboding clear and yet mysterious.

So onward I trudge through my character’s tangled memories and how they influence his current issues. Yay for character development!
