The Painter Next Door - Tumblr Posts

The first version of the cover of the novel that i am working on called: The Painter Next Door. 

The red stuff is definately paint... (Sarcasm)

Yes, i know its simplistic, but thats the point. I wanted one weird paint/art related item in the middle and a whitish room, somewhat resembling that of an asylum cell. 

Just why is there “paint” everywhere, tho... I’ll never know... 

Hmmm,,,

Charlie: 0U0 ;D

Writing help?

Hey, writers of tumblr, i need some help in writing a scene. 

So, i am writing my next novel, called The Painter Next Door, and i am having trouble balancing something that is mysterious, while still trying to keep the flow away from going too fast. 

So, lets just call him “Mysterious Individual”, or MI for short, keeps dodging out of rooms at the last second, whenever the MC comes into the room and “sees” him. 

How do I write this happening in which it isn't obvious that this guy is actively trying to hide, for malicious or not reasons, but also definitely never showing his face? Or at least, not clearly? 

The MC must think its a little odd, but not think it is some kind of criminally insane individual rummaging around the building yet. 

This is beginning to occur in only the second chapter, which is why i need to make sure that it isn't going too fast. 

If any of the writers of tumblr, or ANYONE for that matter, has any tips or tricks on writing this kind of thing, pls let me know. 

I am really wanting to publish this book in the end, and for it being the first one, i want to have it be a good start to everything. 

Thanks so much in advance! 

All and any suggestions and tips are welcome!

A scene that happens in my novel The Painter Next Door. 

Lets just call him, The Painter, for now, but he has been messing with the MC, and at such a late hour that he has accidentally fallen asleep on top of her. 

One of the many silly things to come from a psychopath such as he...

^U^

Kinda cute to be honest, but is most likely putting a lot of weight on her wrists. Kinda looks like it would hurt. 

XC...

So cute that it hurts i guess.  

And what would the painter be if he was in my Mythological AU?

Why, a Jackalope of course!

Well, not exactly an “of course” statement, it just felt right to say. 

And yes, he is very floofy. And he is proud of it. 

VERY PROUD OF IT... and he will cuddle with others to show and prove just how floofy he is.... 

PLS Help with Dialogue!?

Ok, i need some help here.

I am at a small standstill in my novel, “The Painter Next Door”, and i have got to a point where i realized, that i didnt keep one of the most important aspects to my villain that i needed: He is a quirky, insane, asylum escapee. 

I kinda forgot about the insane part. Sure, i gave him the evil painter aspects, using painting and art related weapons, using paint and art related terms and nicknames, and even killing those who claims his paintings are bad.

But i didnt give him his insanity.

So, i am planning to go back through and add some things, but i am only going to do that once i am “done” with the storyline, meaning, the end chapter is done. 

However, the insane lacking part is still giving me active trouble as of now.

So, i am trying to find dialogue for this scene, more or less Charlie’s rant, i am having trouble finding proper dialogue. 

So, the scene is this:

The villain is using the MC as his canvas, and the cops have recently just figured out that the car that the villain stole has a GPS in it, so they track it.

They DONT tell the news people about this, but the newspeople still evesdrop on the police station, and get the information anyway, and stupidly decide to broadcast the news, and the villain now knows. 

He does into a frenzied rant, breaks the radio, and goes all insane. Kinda broken angry insane, but still capable of speech. 

I need some help with the dialogue. 

Do note some things here:

He is an evil painter, and he uses art/paint related terms

Whenever he talks about people who want to stop him, or his typical victims, he terms them as “Art hating critics” or something along those lines. He might use “rescuers” or “cops” in certain situations, but i think in this rant he would term them as “art hating critics” or something along those lines. 

He is angry, he is pissed off. But he is also kinda frantic. 

Why is he frantic? There is too much snow outside for the car to run.

I need help with DIALOGUE! Pls help!
