So as someone of you probably know, one of my interests and passions is writing, specifically screen writing, writing for the stage so plays alongside writing regular stories.
As of lately I had a weird dream involving an all boys Catholic boarding school, a boy who wants to travel the world and a ghost trying to figure out what happened to them. So originally it was going to be a musical set in modern times (think Heathers but J.D is a ghost) but then I liked the idea of it being a period drama better. It's technically set during the end of WWII going into the early 1950s. The main character loves poetry and wants to see the world but his father wants him to follow in his and his brothers footsteps to become a doctor to eventually inherit the hospital they run. One day an incident happens putting said main characters life at risk when they are saved by an unknown spirit. Another encounter in a bathroom finally introduces him to a fellow boy, a blossoming relationship occurs eventually leading to something much more deeper and possibly sinister at bay.
The book deals with themes of its time and I am worries certain themes could be problematic a bit but my book is meant to be about changing the status quo and doing your own thing. It also deals with coming of age as well as being an LGBTQIA+ novella.
Let me know what you think and if you have any ideas or suggestions I can add to my book ☺.
