Bottle Trees and Broken Dreams - Synopsis and Character Sheets
An inside look at my novel. Part 3 of the "I wrote a book" series.
I haven't talked about my book in a few months, and I feel like talking about it might get me motivated to finally finish my edits. I'm very close to the finish line, and I'm almost ready to start querying for agents. I'm also fortunate enough that there have been a number of you curious to learn more about the actual content of the book, so that's what I'm bringing to the table this evening.

I think about writing more than I write, but call myself a writer as opposed to a thinker.

I Iike it, as maybe if I used this as a template I would have finished those few short stories I started a few years ago. Maybe one day. I’m so excited you’ve finished a fifth draft! Go get at it! ☺️
I'm confused by the he/she descriptions. Going by the names and characteristics, the characters are one or the other. Maybe it's a generational thing but I think the characters need to be grounded for the reader to know what to expect from them. Everything else looks interesting.
Did you have inspiration by real life circumstances or did you think this up
Ooo I’m very intrigued by your novel. The spookiness really came through effortlessly. I hope the main character ends out okay and fights those demons haunting her!
