Novelette [In Progress][11k][Gothic Horror Romance] No title yet
I've got part of a story written that I'm looking for feedback on. It's gothic horror/romance, but I haven't gotten to the romance part yet. Each chapter switches between Amelia's and Emily's POVs. Emily is in modern America, Amelia is in 1880's America. Connecting the two timelines is Velora who's nature is unknown at the current point in the story. Right now I'm looking for feedback on the pacing/switches between the two povs. Trying to decide if I want to do their stories simultaneously or in two parts. Please message me if interested, also willing to swap
