Are you reading anything currently? If yes, how’s it?

Yes, I’m reading this psychological thriller novel called “The silent patient” by Alex Michealides. I’ve read about half of it so far. Its terrific. It’s undoubtedly a page turner. I can’t wait to finish it.

4, 14, 18, and 25.

4) favorite character you’ve written

Out of the characters I've written for fanfic, it would be either Steve Harrington or Cisco Ramon. I'm not going to get into it right now, but I love these two characters so much and I love writing them! They're both so intriguing, with hidden pasts that I love exploring!

For some of the OCs that I've made, I loved writing Cyra (an engineer with fire powers) from my MCU fic The Warehouse (which I haven't updated in forever lol), as well as Cassidy (a painter with a heart of gold) from my Encanto fanfic.

14) do you make playlists for your current wips?

I've only made one for a WIP about a mental asylum, but I really want to make more!

18) were there any works you read that affected you so much that it influenced your writing style? what were they?

I can't think of any off the top of my head that have influenced my writing style directly...I feel like most of my writing style has been influences through reading so much fanfic, but I would like to eventually have a writing style/write a story sort of like Alex Michealides The Silent Patient. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, as well as Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, both have a writing style that I love, too. Though I say this, I would love to find a super unique writing style for myself (but this may be impossible lol)

25) copy/paste a few sentences or a short paragraph that you’re particularly proud of

This section of Desperate Soldier is one of my favorite things that I have written! It's two paragraphs lol, but short ones.

The only person he saw now was a desperate soldier with a nail bat and a hope to make it through the next day, eyes wide and scared, hands covered in blood, both of the monsters he faced and his own. A soldier who had known love, who had known peace, had known friendship, but was quickly forgetting what they were. How they felt.

A clock chimed in the distance, but he didn’t have the strength to react. All he could focus on was the stranger standing in front of him, wearing the face of someone that he used to be.

Thanks so much for the ask!

🚨🚨ALERTA🚨🚨

‼️Spoiler‼️

Mais uma vez Alex Michealides me surpreendeu muito, dessa vez Com ,“As Musas”.

As musas , conta a história de Marianna uma psiquiterapeuta que teve que correr para a sua antiga universidade depois que sua sobrinha Zoe ligou anúnciando a morte de sua amiga, Tara.

Ela foi encontrada morta por esfaqueamento. Tara fazia parte de um grupo secreto formado por mulheres com o líder , o professor de tragédia grega ; Edwart Fosca , que inclusive era o principal suspeito segundo Mariana .

O livro foi muito bem trabalhado , e muito bem detalhado, com todo o drama e o “terror” , a linguagem e as reviravoltas, de fato uma arte, até o simples fato de “A paciente silenciosa” e “As musas” serem interligadas por mais pouco que seja já é bem incrível é chocante!

About fireworks?

About love. About how we often mistake love for fireworks - for drama and dysfunction. But real love is very quiet, very still. It's boring, if seen from the perspective of high drama. Love is deep and calm - and constant.

One of the worst thing is definitely reading something and being super disappointed to the point you feel empty. I just finished The Maidens by Alex Michealides and oh boy, it was so long, useless and the end is so bad. No. The end is terrible, and the epilogue is even worst. It could have been so great and I wish I could get my reading hours back

Book Review: THE SILENT PATIENT by Alex Michealides

Official synopsis: Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most desirable areas. One evening her husband Gabriel returns home late from a fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face, and then never speaks another word. Alicia’s refusal to talk, or give any kind of explanation, turns a domestic tragedy into something far grander, a mystery that captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety. The price of her art skyrockets, and she, the silent patient, is hidden away from the tabloids and spotlight at the Grove, a secure forensic unit in North London. Theo Faber is a criminal psychotherapist who has waited a long time for the opportunity to work with Alicia. His determination to get her to talk and unravel the mystery of why she shot her husband takes him down a twisting path into his own motivations—a search for the truth that threatens to consume him.... The Silent Patient is a shocking psychological thriller of a woman’s act of violence against her husband—and of the therapist obsessed with uncovering her motive.

---

I found this book to be super entertaining and well written! This is a great psychological thriller and certainly a fast-paced story. My only slight complaint might be with how the timeline(s) are presented, in what I found to be an intentionally misleading way that takes away from an otherwise phenomenal twist reframing of the narrative. But overall, I'd say especially if you're in a reading slump, this might be just what you need to snap you out of it.
