Cate's Writer Room

          I greatly enjoy drafting my books. I also greatly enjoy coming up with new book ideas while having four ongoing books I don't feel like writing, which leads me to drafting the ones I have up in favor of the new ones, and the cycle repeats itself. Every. Single. Time.

          Considering this is the new trend (thank you stilestastic & starryeyedturtle for the idea), here's a compilation of everything I have drafted/want to write in the near future. If you want to dig around my Pinterest and search for their boards, don't bother—they're all secret, except for 0K. Ssh.

          Steal something and I'll be waiting for you outside of your bedroom with a pitchfork. Don't try me. DO NOT PIN THE GIFS TO PINTEREST. DO NOT CLAIM THEM AS YOUR OWN. THANKS.

PART ONE: THE REBOOTS

ABRIDGED

genre: teen fiction/ya contemporary

main fcs: gabriella wilde (prev. teresa palmer); daniel sharman

remaining cast: jack falahee; angourie rice (prev. dianna agron); ella purnell (prev. nina dobrev); shawn mendes (prev. cory monteith); keiynan lonsdale (prev. alfie enoch); ashleigh murray (prev. amber riley); penn badgley; madelaine petsch; jordy baan (prev. drew roy)

my train of thought was basically: considering avery. got rebooted (half empty), i might as well reboot its companion novel (noel;) and actually finish it. allison & noel were very easy to fall in love with, at least for me, and it breaks my heart that i never gave their 온라인카지노게임 a proper ending (even though until the day & smells like tone spirit spoil what happens at the end). i'm not going to spoil it here for you, in case you're interested and/or haven't read those two books, but it was Hella Sad.

the plot: noel wants to jump from a bridge. allison stops him from doing so. he pretends she doesn't exist. she doesn't give up that easily, having been faced with the imminent threat of the people she loves nearly dying. it's a cruel running gag that she keeps having to be the one to find people and save their lives and that contributes to her own mental health quickly spiralling out of control I'M SORRY BABE

in this reboot, they're all a year older. considering ethan got aged up and is now in carry it home, his fc & name got changed, but he's still here. everyone else that got changed is now too old to play a seventeen-year-old (some of them still are, i.e. daniel sharman), but there were a few i refused to let go of (don't worry. jack falahee will always be grumpy pre-med jesse).

here's the (outdated) trailer i'll never redo:

TRIANGLE

genre: action

main fcs: crystal reed; ben barnes

remaining cast: christopher mason; summer bishil (prev. priyanka chopra); jr bourne; thomas mcdonell; colin donnell; daniel henney (prev. godfrey gao); matthew daddario; emeraude toubia; shailene woodley; phoebe tonkin; john boyega (prev. robert pattinson); keke palmer (prev. alycia debnam-carey)

SUPPORTING cast: eliza taylor-cotter morley; colton haynes; lindsey morgan; jim caviezel; paige turco; bae doona; rosario dawson; jennifer garner; jeffrey dean morgan

(i know it's huge I KNOW)

so. finn & dom are my ultimate faves. we all know this. these two are the sole reason why i still want to write this disgrace of a book (along with my grumpy child sawyer).

so basically: there was a civil war in the us. national security agencies disbanded + there was an insane lack of international support, so the citizens mobilized themselves and founded two new agencies—FLARE and FROST—which didn't have to be rivals by any means but finn and dom are supposed to be starcrossed & enemies to allies to friends to lovers so i did it for the sake of The Plot. finn is the adoptive daughter of FLARE's president and dom is the president of FROST following his father's (and finn's adoptive mom's) murder, which sets off a series of conflicts across the country. too many people have died, too many people keep dying, and for what? for a greater good?

when a common enemy threatens everyone's safety, including those they've sworn to protect, finn runs to dom for an alliance (not that she's too happy about it at first) and things just develop from there. things change, relationships change, people change.

i miss this book deeply. it's hella flawed, but i'm still super proud of how it came out before i took it down, so it can only get better after i edit it and put it back up. finn is a True Babe and my favorite character to this day and her development was just *chef's kiss*

here's the (outdated) trailer i'll never redo after having to edit it 50 times since 2016:

WAILING

genre: paranormal/ya

main fcs: liz gillies (prev. poppy drayton); stefanie scott

remaining cast: charles melton; drew van acker; amber rose revah; erinn westbrook; paris berelc (prev. sydney park)

ok so. this book. this book is about banshees. gay banshees. that's it, that's the plot.

(not really)

i miss o'connor Very Much Okay. she's still my favorite angsty gay.

PART TWO: THE SPIN-OFFS

A FORTIORI

genre: na

main cast: roseanne park; henry zaga

remaining cast: yoon young bae; asami zdrenka

I PROMISED AND I SHALL DELIVER. EVENTUALLY.

this is not a romance!! unlike mimeomia & carry it home!! a fortiori follows the struggles of the entire band as they try to not disband because, you know, they're all like fleetwood mac when they kept fighting with each other and breaking up and getting back together. val and journey are Babes (guess who also has a streetlight person here).

BITE THE HAND

genre: na

main cast: christian serratos; aaron tveit

supporting cast: nikolaj coster-waldau

alternatively: charles ricci truly does not care about workplace romance stop thinking he does holy crap he just wants to play golf and drink wine

i love charles ricci with my whole goddamn heart. this book follows james (commonly known as joules. not jules. joules) and miles, who's charles ricci's brother (drew's uncle). joules is a rising star. miles is her producer. they've been dating for a year behind charles' back and they think he cares (spoiler alert: he doesn't), since he's her manager and all that.

the book isn't about their relationship—it's about their careers. and, you know, plenty of CHARLES RICCI.

PART THREE: THE NEW STUFF

TIME AFTER THYME

genre: teen fiction/ya contemporary

main fcs: adeline rudolph; joshua bassett

two high school seniors get more than what they bargained for after they break up. they both just want to get out of alaska but it turns out she's pregnant and he doesn't really have the heart to leave her behind.

it's more heartbreaking than it sounds. trust me.

0K

genre: general fiction/ya contemporary

main fcs: luma grothe; delilah parillo

this is a book about my girl sabrina checking into a treatment center for eating disorders. the person who got her into engaging in such behaviors (and, therefore, greatly contributed to her getting sick) is also there, unbeknownst to her. this will never be on wattpad.

THIS IS NOT A LOVE STORY OH MY GOD

(yes it's inspired by wintergirls)

PART FOUR: TEMPORARILY ARCHIVED

WI-FIRE

genre: action/adventure/na

main fcs: sophie turner; manny jacinto

remaining cast: froy gutierrez; laura dern; jon hamm; cierra ramirez; zoey deutch; maisie richardson-sellers; natasha liu bordizzo; aubrey joseph; harry shum jr.; keanu reeves

SUPERHEROESSSSSSSS. THE GUY WHO WRITES THE COMIC BOOKS ABOUT THEM. SOPHIE TURNER. KEANU REEVES. DO YOU NEED MORE?
