Back At It Again | My Newest Novel

"I write from real life," -Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

I'm so flipping excited!  I have finally started a new novel!

After over a year of not consistently having a novel to work on, I've finally found a dart that's stuck. 

This novel is something that's been especially brewing within the last five months. It's young adult contemporary. 

This story is copyright 2016 by Olivia J - plagiarism will be prosecuted. 

This story has no cover. Or title, since it is such so underdeveloped. 

However, I have definitely made an aesthetic collage for it. Enjoy it. Love it.

The basic idea behind this novel is that life is always good, and it always can be good.

Plot: Six high school seniors have to complete a project for their psychology class, and they discover the beauties of their small town and of eachother. It is best summed up in this quote:

"This project is aimed to demonstrate the theories of psychology and sociology while improving upon the students' lives."

-By the legendary Mr. Artus, the eccentric psychology teacher who stands behind the kids no matter what. 

As with many of my novels, it's told through dual points of view: Amelia, a passionate girl stuck in her deadbeat life, and Roman, a quirky boy dealing with a family death. They bond with Elliot, a boy struggling with his sexuality, Bailey, a girl struggling with mental illness, Alice, a girl who jumps from guy to guy, and Nick, a football boy who faces immense pressure from his family.

Truthfully, it reflects my life over the past five months, because even though shit happens, and shit will always happen, I've always been able to say: "God is still good - which means life is still good."

Enjoy my few and golden nugget-like updates on the progress of this novel. I will definitely update you all with an official back cover synopsis, title, and cover reveal.
