My brain keeps telling me to rewrite "Black and White" as one of those novels that are more like a collection of documents (whatever tf it's called) and I'm like!! Bestie, writing a novel as a series of documents is exactly what made me write the second draft as third person in the first place!!!!

(ok technically it was just Darius's normal POV + Diedrich's diary for some reason, but still!!)

#did i accidentally jinx myself months ago when i made it canon that Johann writes an autobiography?#i never mentioned it. i just think he'd do that ya know?#ok no but the idea of a series of documents #leaving behind a trail detailing the life of this magician #sounds really cool #he's gonna die. we know he's gonna die from the beginning. he's always been a memory #maybe THIS will be the thing that makes Darius's existence make sense #he's never been a very proactive guy #feel very un-protagonist-y of him #ok now i'm actually excited for this #wtf #i can NOT keep rewriting this wip in different formats!!!#writeblr #writing #my wips #black & wip #if anyone is in any way knowledgeable about literacy levels in the 1900-1910s hmu please #i'm gonna need it
