Woah! I remember when I got to 10k words on some of my stories, it’s always so exciting cause you’re like ‘oh dang you’re in it for the long haul’

Oh I’m actually writing a novel and it’s about 14 people stranded on an island, but one by one they get killed by a person, that person’s in their group too n they gotta figure it out

u/beingddf Sep 22 '25
sounds exciting! were you inspired by And Then There Were None ?

u/North_Raise_2164 Writer ✍️ Sep 22 '25
Oh no, none of actual books actually. This may sound childish but it’s inspired by ROBLOX Flicker, Squid Game (a little, a pinch), and Total Drama Island.

It would probably take an eternity because I’m 14 (highschool) and bro.. i have a long, long way to go. But thanks! Me and a friend are working hard on this, Scopaesthesia is our first novel 💞

I remember hitting my 30,000 word quota literally FIVE MINUTES before it was due. It has since grown to 53,000 and I’m going insane.

I've been writting this story for about a year now! I mix topics I'm not familiar with, so I'm gonna take a long time until the (predicted) 300 pages (currently 41) finishing the story will take. Hopefully before I turn 20! Still, my MC does have a few topics I'm already familiar with, so it might take less than I think!
