Lillian is used to the danger she knows. The danger she doesn’t? It’s literally debilitating for her. Due to her disorder, change causes extreme stress that her body just can’t handle. But when a quantum rift swallows her best friend, can she save him without losing herself? #DVpit #GN #YA #SF #DIS

I think this might be me???? 👀👀
P10: With graphic novel scripts, be aware that you can give the artist some freedom. For example, you don't have to specify every single detail or the colour of an object unless those things are important to the plot. I am enjoying this. Well thought-out panels and characters.

Meet our protagonist: Lillian Dangerfield! #DVparty

Freshly thirteen, one year into her diagnosis of Functional Neurological Disorder, and apparently the hinge point for a quantum disaster. 😅🙃

Hey, hey, hey #DVparty and #writersky!

This year, I'm pitching my young adult graphic novel set in Porto Velho, Rondônia featuring a gutsy protagonist with Functional Neurological Disorder and a quantum rift that snatches her best friend.

I really loved The Oracle Code by Marieke Nijkamp @mariekeyn.bsky.social! And there is a side character in The Whispering Dark who takes the same meds as me - which both took me by surprise and made me emotional 💛 #PitchDis
