Final Project – Nate R

https://www.worldanvil.com/w/sadie-natereid

I made some adjustments based on the feedback I received in class. I aimed to make the events that took place in Ch.1 more of a surprise to the reader. Rather than blatantly stating the issues, I wanted the audience to be as surprised as Sadie was when she was betrayed. Which makes much more sense considering the story is solely focused on her life. I tried to write the story of Sadie in a way where it seemed confusing and unusual but something that the reader can follow along with. The main goal is to always have the reader wondering what will happen next. The full story of Sadie is very long so I included the essential parts in this project.

I took a unique approach to the character arcs in this story. Sadie’s husband doesn’t have a name in this story for a reason. Giving him a name would establish him as a character, which I didn’t want to happen. This was written in such a way to where a sequel would be focused on Sadie’s husband, which I would then present him with a name and make him a more substantial character. As a strongly character based story, I had a plan to make this as much about Sadie as I could. I considered writing it in a first person perspective from Sadie, but I wanted the audience to be just a tiny step ahead of Sadie in the story. It’s not really until towards the end of the story when Sadie finds out who her true enemies are.
