πNaNo Day Two: How did your WIP evolve from its first concept to what it is now?π
"Has-Been" evolved from the concept of meeting your favorite celebrity. That itself is terrifying; not knowing if that person is what you think they are, or if they're the opposite.
#NaNoWriMo #FirstDraftFall #WIP
πNaNo Day One: What inspired the original idea for your WIP novel?π
"Has-Been" is heavily inspired by the movie "The Ugly Stepsister", 1980's nostalgia, and the "what ifs" of a hyper-fixation that crosses the line.

#WIP #horrornovel #author #indieauthor #FirstDraftFall
"HAS-BEEN" is as standalone work, featuring a parasocial relationship, an obsession, and the effects nasty words can have on the human psyche when mixed with both.
If you enjoyed "The Ugly Stepsister" and "The Substance", you'll enjoy "HAS-BEEN"!
#WeeknightWriters #FirstDraftFall #WIP
Yeah, this one's a heavy hitter π It's meant to be a commentary about the unrealistic expectations placed on women's bodies and appearances by society in an extreme way (along the lines of "The Substance" and "The Ugly Stepsister").
20.10.2025 14:49 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0"HAS-BEEN" takes place in the modern day world - which (as we all know) can be very unkind. It deep dives into the true horror of the human psyche, and how something as basic as words mixed with the imagination can totally destroy a person's life. π

I'm not too great at building up societies or creating super in-depth things when it comes to worldbuilding. Specifically fantasy world building - can't do it lol.
This is why I stick to horror and romance π€£
#WeeknightWriters #FirstDraftFall #Author
I loove lore building and creating stories within the story. Local town legends, inside jokes between friends, etc. I enjoy physical world-building as well (town layouts, scenery, etc).

Exactly lol. Even my villains aren't THAT heartless π€£π€£

I typically create stories from characters that end up living rent free in my head π€£ Very rarely is it the opposite way around.

Hi, #WeeknightWriters! I'm T.L. Beeding, and I'm hitting the ground running with this new WIP - my first, full-length novel!
It's titled "Has-Been" - a cautionary tale of becoming obsessed with the past.
If you enjoyed "The Ugly Stepsister", "Has-Been" is right up your alley! π
