Young Writers discussion

Sooooo I finished Maps To Nowhere over a week ago, and decided to get right to work on the novel I'd been outlining for a while. I was pretty sure I was going to combust if I didn't have some sort of project going, so, here we are.

I've described this novel to my friends as: beaches! running! death! new york! wow!

But if you need more information than that:

Norah Peters is not ready to move on, despite what everybody around her keeps telling her. If anything, she wants to put on a smile and act like everything is perfectly fine.
Two months after her former best friend's death and six years after her parent's painful divorce, Norah finds herself living with her mom and brother in the Hamptons, with running as her only escape. Everything should be fine; she has a nice boyfriend, tons of cross-country records, and great friends. But recently, with Grace's death still looming over her head, she finds running harder than ever, and feels herself drifting from her friends and boyfriend. She's supposed to be heading to New York City for college, but how can she face the city when all of her worst memories lie there?
But when everything goes wrong, and she has no choice but to take a weekend in Manhattan, Norah is forced to go back to where everything went wrong.

I ACTUALLY HATE THAT DESCRIPTION OH MY GOODNESS

basically once upon a time norah was good at running, and now because of many many sad things, she is not

idk wow what the heckie. it's my general style of "lots of stuff that doesn't really belong together but here we are."
