Despair is a chemical reaction to an unhealthy lifestyle that actually makes you less qualified to write.

What books did you guys get for Christmas?

/lit/, we need our best and worst writers on the job. We're writing a new novel to insult and pander to YA literature. Working title: And Every Bomb Drops

The story so far:

An unnamed US president who will obviously be Trump has sent the world into catastrophic war

17 years later, our hero (who was born on the day the wars started) lives in a society in which novels are currency, and being a writer is the most highly regarded profession in the country.

Only white men are allowed to be writers, but writing in secret with the help of her aunt (she's orphaned) our young latina protagonist begins to harness her writing skills and begins to show exceptional promise.

The writers have always talked of a prophecy foretelling an author so perfect at his job, he ends the turmoil the world is in through his writing.

Our young protagonist realizes she is the writer the prophecy told of (she has a birthmark in the shape on a pen, just like in the prophecy) and has to overcome adversity to establish herself as the greatest writer in the country and save the world.

Talk and discuss the story here, write here:
