So, I have been messing around with formatting and styling for my forgotten notebook style novel. What do you think? Is this something you'd read? The font was recommended because it's one of the more readable "handwritten" fonts.

I'm starting a new project. It shouldn't take too long, but it's something that's special to me. Would anyone read this as a YA based on the first few paragraphs?

TW: Depression. Please don't read if you're not in a good headspace.

Not a lot done yesterday, but every word is a step forward!

Slow day yesterday. I have pretty bad depression and the characters feel like they don't want to tell the story to me.

Yesterday's word could was bad yesterday, but it was saved by the work I did past midnight the night before.

I have been slightly depressed today, which is good because I had to write a chapter where the Female MC was depressed. Life works in funny ways.

Today is slightly skewed in the add/remove count. I had to rewrite the last 2 chapters since I switched the MC weapon from bow to sword.

Like I said, today's stats will be skewed since I transferred the last 4 chapter into the new editing software I'm using.

Excited to be almost 70% done with it!

I edit as I go, so I hopefully when I give it a final read everything will fall into place!

It's so frustrating trying to write for a character I never intended to have major dialogue. I have to find their voice...

This is my first book, but I have went over the chapters so many times that I think my self edits will be pretty minimum.
