I hope no one minds me posting this on the Chit Chat part of the forum.
As I've mentioned before, I'm trying to get back into writing. A mental health organisation I visit have been asking me to write factual articles recently to get me practicing again after an eight year gap. Now, they're trying to get me to write fiction, which I used to do but have avoided for a long time due to my mental illness crushing all creativity.
I'm going to pick up on a story I've wanted to develop and finish for ten years and wondered if anyone here would be able to help me with something. It's not related to mental illness, I just don't have anywhere else to ask at the moment.
I know we prefer to avoid labels where possible, but hopefully you won't mind in this case.
I'm not too familiar with terms such as goth, punk, emo, etc. as these all came in after I dropped off the face of the Earth, but I think the term alternative covers all of them.
The main character in my story is a teenage girl who wears dark clothes, I'm thinking possibly dark purple lipstick and has dark hair with a dark, metallic purple streak in it.
The term for these people isn't important, but as I don't know anyone who likes this kind of style, I wondered if anyone knew anyone who does as I have some questions I'd like to ask to help shape the character.
If no one here can help, no problem at all, I just thought I'd ask.
Also remember, if people are interested, that Kim wanted help with her book about mental illness. I'm not personally able to help, but I thought I'd bump it in my post anyway as it'd be kind of selfish to ask about my story and further bury theres.
