So, I've said this on my Twitter, but I am completely changing Muted. Like a 180 degrees. I want it back to the way it was: a girl struggling to find comfort after a psychopath shattered her psyche. I wanted Sadie to be a strong girl, not a dependent one. I'm not cutting out Monroe, but I am going to downsize his role and turn it into the group as a whole. I want to ease her into speaking. I envisioned Sadie standing up to her attacker instead of turning to Monroe. (Side note: in my first draft, I killed her brother. He died of leukemia. I don't want to kill him). I only wrote it as a romance because I jumped on the bandwagon. Almost every book that has been published from wattpad seems to be a romance and that's what I wanted- to be published one day (You have no idea how angry it makes me to see the shittiest books with PUBLISHED underneath the title). Well, now I'm changing it to make it longer and making it the story I wanted it to be. As for publishing the book, if it's good enough that will come in time. Sadie is only a senior in high school, I feel that she isn't mature enough to deal with all of this and I want to expand the time period of this book, so hopefully, I'll finish it before the second semester of college starts. We'll see where this goes.
