I’m writing a revenge story. This guy or girl comes from a rich family. Their dad is a doctor and their mom is a lawyer. The kid is in their 20s and is a drug addict. Their family cut them off because of it.
The dealer kills them because they couldn’t pay the money they owed. Then a loved one goes after the dealer for revenge.
Is this good? I didn’t want to overcomplicate it by giving it a huge conspiracy, but at the same time, realistically, couldn’t they have gotten the money some other way?
I think you’re lacking the depth of experience to be much of an author yet and should focus on living for a while. Try heroin, take another crack at the novel while you’re getting clean
Lol. Don’t suggest heroin tho!
I admittedly thought something similar when I saw this post (not to suggest heroin tho!). I thought, “write what you know!” I’m all for ppl learning to write better, but in a world/economy of hyper-fictionalized junk, I would like yo see more stories about people’s actual experiences and less like unconnected fiction. To me, miscellaneous fiction is like cotton candy – it tastes sweet, but it’s empty.
PS - stay away from opiates. Addiction is a supreme waste of time.
