Just getting back into writing for the first time since I dropped everything for my chosen career, and really enjoying it now I'm at home preparing to squeeze out a baby.
Actually was wondering if this is a place to bring up an idea for a YA novel and see what people think; I like the idea of releasing for free the first installment of a would-be drama series that'd gently introduce teens to an increasingly dissident worldview as the main character grows up. Plot based around a high school girl who gets a development deal with a record company (Lorde-style), exploring her premature entry into an adult world, and slowly introducing (among other things) shit like predatory male feminists, professional victims in entertainment criticism/journalism, the anti-intellectual nonsense in modern humanities departments, etc. etc.
Besides that, I've got a lot of my own coming-of-age experiences to draw on now I'm old enough to reflect, and I like the idea of writing the kind of stuff I wish I'd come across as a lost teenager.
Wonder if it'd get any traction in online circles, as the kind of thing that wouldn't see the light of day in mainstream publishing?
Tend to think the problem with growing dissident political movements is that we have so little cultural output in spite of a growing audience for it and an urgent need for it.
