The Fearless Girl statue is very touching; I get a little teary eyed when I look at it, which???? Is an odd reaction, at least for me. I really, really love her. ♥
I mentioned in a previous post that I'm currently working on a "man vs society/culture" story. I kind of summed it up as lesbians in Catholic school but it's going to end up being quite a bit more then that. It's more that they're individuals trapped in a conservative, constricting environment that both pushes conformity but also breaks its own rules when convenient. For example, if you bring prestige to the school through sports competitions or science fairs, you get to flaunt the rules. It's playing into the system but it's really the only way to survive the system.
It sounds heavy but there's still going to be a fair amount of comedy. Also romance, because lesbians, because I'm me. XD This is going to end up being quite a bit bigger than the original prompt for class so I'm planning on working on this for Camp NaNoWriMo. The July go-round, not the April one. I'll be way too busy in April for NaNo, hahahaha.
This is probably the first thing I've written that doesn't have even a secondary male character. There are authority figures that are male, obviously, but those are certainly not going to be the focus of the story. I'm not sure if recent political activity is kind of directing what I'm writing but you know, if so, that's fine.
