I know I'm making extra pages. But technically I have a word count of 200,284 which is considered around an epic on some levels.
I explained it already but I'll say it again. One part of the story goes backwards and another part goes forward. Why is this?
I made no effort to sit down and plot because the original drafts just had Wyleisha/Mokiri has a long-lost vampire princess.
This is an iceberg-type story but why is it not like FNAF?
There are literally things in that book that do not belong. The entire point of FNAF is that the main character is guilty about the death of his child and giving himself or suffering great trauma from it.
Compared to// my own book (I'm doing it). You take the one thing being told to you constantly and that guides you out the fuck mess.
There is a theme around a subject that is being spoken off constantly. EX: Dareion and death.
The fact the obayifo, which isn't one but many, offers a lot.
Why religion? They literally do this in church and that's why we have a society of anti-Godless people willing to dismiss God. The bible is fully up for interpretation, which means, The Waorshippers is built on allegory while blending elements of common troupes + a sprinkle from street literature never brought up in the main cycle of books.
// The iceberg theory or theory of omission is a writing technique coined by American writer Ernest Hemingway. ... Hemingway believed the deeper meaning of a story should not be evident on the surface but should shine through implicitly//
Implicitly: in a way that is not directly expressed; tacitly.
YOU HAVE TO READ IT AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN.
//A book gets a view each time someone opens the novel page for it. It counts as a single view regardless of whether they read 1 chapter or 100 chapters. However, there is a time limit on that (6 hours I think?), so if a reader checks in daily, it'll count as a view each day.//
Don't come bitching at me about 'oh it's not enough description.

Most contemporary street lit focuses on African Americans and so often includes African American Vernacular English (AAVE), hip-hop slang, and American regional dialects.
Titles of these novels often have more than one meaning. Sister Souljah's The Coldest Winter Ever, for example, refers to the season of winter as well as Winter the character. Similarly, Shannon Holmes's B-More Careful can stand for "be more careful" but also refers to "B-More" as another name for the city of Baltimore.
Characteristics
Street lit looks at the lives of people living in lower-income city neighborhoods.The stories present realistic characters in realistic environments, often focusing on the characters' everyday lives and their relationships with other characters and their urban environment. This focus on realism makes the books easy for readers to understand and relate to or understand.
As the name "urban fiction" implies, the stories take place in large cities, including New York, Chicago, New Orleans, and Tokyo. Not all street lit is based in the U.S., and it includes a variety of cultural, social, political, geographical, and economic aspects. Street lit set in New Orleans will differ greatly from that based in Tokyo, but they will have similar issues.
Other common characteristics of street lit include:
fast-paced stories, often including flashbacks
vivid descriptions of the urban environment, including a lack of societal resources, poor housing, and poverty
the street itself as a place where action occurs or as a cause of action, like characters meeting on the street to conduct business
protagonists are often young adults, often in the age range 19-25
a focus on relationships, including surviving abuse, betrayal by friends, plans to take revenge
a focus on name-brand items or accumulation of tangible wealth, like with bling or name-brand shoes
surviving street life and overcoming the street lifestyle, trying to move up and out of the streets
Since street lit can blend with other genres, there may also be aspects such as:
romance or erotica
mystery
science fiction
gritty themes like drug use, domestic violence, or stereotyped gender roles
the nemesis.
The street is the thing to be conquered, to fight against, to overcome by any means necessary.
In street literature, the street itself (also called "the 'hood") is the challenge and the source of problems and drama.
I wanna expand of 'the nemesis'. Some people are homeless, about to be homeless and the fear is survival. What do I need do to get out of the struggle I'm in? That is the question in MOST street-lit novels.
A lot contains, sex, drugs, and drama from a woman getting abused to gang violence and murder.
