Inspirations

 My inspirations for this piece of work are as follows:

• Last of Us
• Bojack Horseman 
• Moonlight 
• South Park
• Attack on Titan (the foreshadowing obviously) 
• Room 

Hilarious that none of these are actual books (Except Room started off as a book but I actually enjoyed the movie more) and this work will more than likely be a book. Of course I have a small dream of writing a movie, but I figured one thing at a time. I should continue to practice my writing before I strive for more ambitious goals. For now anyway. 

All of these titles have something in common. Complex storytelling yes, but the emotion each piece conveys, South Park included. These titles are nothing short of incredible in my very humble opinion. This is what I want my story's strength to be. To beautifully describe both happy and ugly emotions, complex nuanced emotions that can only be understood if the reader has experienced it themselves. I want to bring the reader through an emotional journey like all good stories do, but I also want it to speak loudly and comment on current issues like Bojack Horseman and South Park does. I want the complexity of my characters that Bojack Horsman has achieved. My characters will neither be good nor bad, there will be no enemy. They will simply just be people. 

I want the tragedy of Moonlight, Room, and the Last of Us. The "happy ending" that is just far too complicated to ever be described as "Happy." 

We'll see as this continues to develop, but nonetheless, writing this all out helps a lot.
