I'm currently writing a third person limited short story (main character is an 11 year old girl named Ada). The vibe I'm trying to go for has more of a serene tone, but still very creepy. It makes the reader feel uncomfortable but still curious as to what happens next.
What I need help with:
- How to show, not tell.
- How to write an entire story with no spoken dialogue (like, Ada might see someone talking, but the actual quotes are never present)
- How to write a character completely resigned to her reality, no matter how dark it may be.
