i feel like one of the things that makes my new project so intriguing to me is just how childish and friendly it all feels. like. it's a partially-illustrated chapter book you pick up in your third-grade elementary library and never really forget nor remember. it doesn't have as much depth as some other things that i've worked on but it's so warm and that makes up for it all.

#like. if i do end up going forward with this project #i do really just wanna make it a short chapter book #with illustrations and whatnot #like. i don't think i've really gone over the plot much (because i just solidified it out today lol) but #a young girl (mila) goes missing from her royal family . she doesn't quite remember how but doesn't necessarily appose the idea either #she's autistic and still a child so royal life is unappealing to her #eventually- around 30 miles from her hometown- she ends up in a small village where she's befriended by the locals #and the creatures alike #i've forgotten to mention this but it's a high fantasy story mostly involving silly little flying fish and dragons and birds and the like #mila finds solace in these creatures as they don't expect her to follow rules that she doesn't understand #and learns all about all different types of people #when the royal family finally comes searching for her- almost 3 years later #she doesn't want to go back #as she's finally found a family of her own #that treats her with respect and cares about her own needs #like. that's about it but it all feels so childish and i'm getting used to the idea in many ways #but it deals with identity and growing up and. that's what i tend to write about #so i guess it's nothing out of the ordinary!#it's just me writing a concept that's a bit difficult to discuss for me because it seems like it'd be frowned upon by my current friends #but. i'm trying to get more comfortable with it #mila silliest ever
