Funny thing is I'm working on a book sort of like this except most of the book is narrated by the pro/antagonist and then the last chapter or two is narrated by the friend. I don't have much more than a few chapters actually written out yet though and I'm struggling with exactly how to do the part from the friend's point of view.

You can make the friend is like the last thing of clarity in the main character is broken life. The first chapter the best narrates their calm and collected. But as the main character falls deeper and deeper into what they’re doing the friends, natural nonchalant energy about things becomes more pleading. The best friend ends up ruining their lives, trying to save somebody who can’t be saved.

It doesn't work with my story.

The basic ending is that the main character confesses to his friend about all of the terrible things he's been doing. The chapter ends in black.

The next chapter starts with a little misdirection but it turns out that all the preceeding chapters have been a more thorough and nuanced confession to his friend but when he verbally confessed his friend murders him.The remaining text is about the friend coming to terms over some years with why it all happened and understanding that the confession was a way to help prevent others from following in the same path.

This actually sounds like a super interesting read

Thnx.

It's going to be on a super touchy subject that I won't get into here so I'm hoping that the execution will be the thing to carry the ready through.

I think I have a fair idea of how to handle most issues I'll run into during the writing process but the biggest hurdle is actually sitting down and getting the writing done.

Right now I kind of want to focus on this sub just doing some prompts to get my muscles working and maybe build some confidence. I just posted my first public piece of creative writing ever. I don't think it's my best work but I don't think it's bad either. It's been up for 16 hours and has 55 upvotes; so far so good.
