My name is Eloise. What you are about to read is a diary of events in my life. A year ago I was forbidden from seeing my best friend, Ben, and I fell into depression. I decided to start writing a diary to him so he wouldn't miss out on everything I...
Today I ended up splitting my sides laughing, all because me and Ben keep having the same brain. Here:

He said we're just too similar. xD
It's kinda sweet really, like we're sharing one brain. We've been doing this for yeeears now haha. Every time it happens I always end up crying with laughter. xD
And then when I've finally stopped laughing something else happens. Like a few nights ago, Ben was falling off his bed, and then a really loud van made him jump, and THEN when he threw Russ's ball, it hit the wall, bounced back and hit Ben in the head. xD
That all happened one after the next hahaha. I was dying with laughter.
Today I've begun writing my first draft to my Victorian novel, since I've been planning and developing the idea I had for a year. It all started when I was delivering a parcel. The bell tower in the square began to chime, and I was like...what if that means someone's gonna die. And then I was like WOAHH STORY IDEA. It all hit me at once! Whenever the bell tolls, a person is selected at random to be tortured for a few days and then hanged as punishment for the uprising against the government. When Amity's brother gets chosen, she begs for them to take her instead. While she is spending her time in the tower, she falls in love with her to-be-murderer.
It all kinda just came at me at once, and I was repeating it inside my head so I would remember when I got home to write it down. Then I got more and more ideas, and I was completely overflowing with inspiration and ideas haha.
So yeah I've spent a year developing the plot, the characters and even the town! I've read as many books as I can by Jane Austen, Charles Dickens and the Brontë's, and I've made a glossary with words and phrases common in the Victorian era. Perhaps I can give you a little teaser in the form of screenshots. They aren't in order, but it's still a little bit of what I have here and there:

I am really excited to be writing this, and I hope when it's done you will get to enjoy it too!
