This is old and I'll obviously never finish it so please do yourself a favor and don't waste your time (how tf did you even find this?). Also why did I say twenty-one and then fresh out of high school? That is literally 3 years after graduation. 😐
Twenty-one year old Blossom Cage is fresh out of high school and living in her new duplex. Thrown into a monotonous office job, she feels her chance of following her dream is over (not to mention the fact she'd go bankrupt attempting it).
You see, all her life Blossom Cage has had a knack for writing. Actually, knack is an understatement. Blossom can take a simple sentence and transform it.. with her own special type of magic.
So one weekend, when Blossom is having an existential crisis, she decides to pull on some gloves and get to work on her flowers, which have unfortunately died after 3 weeks of being uncared for. Oops!
That Monday a thought occurs to her at work, "What is she doing with her life?" She sets a goal to write once a day, and that's exactly what she does.
Inside this stand-alone novel is a journey full of self-doubt, stress, perseverance, lesson-learning, failure and success, and most importantly, remembering to water ones plants.
Elliot's partner was his whole world, but after Allan's death, his ghost haunts Elliot's dreams. Everyone tells Elliot to move on, but he isn't sure he can.
*****
It's been a year since the love of Elliot's life, Allan, passed away. Everyone thinks he should have recovered after that much time, but Allan still haunts Elliot every night. He struggles to maintain relationships with his family, and despite a coworkers interest he can't summon up the courage to date. Elliot is living for the past, because to live for the present means he'll have to live with a hole in his heart. But the question Elliot has to face chases him through his monotonous days: is mourning Allan with everything he has truly living?
