I’m working on my first novel after a long dry spell (thank you, writer’s block). I’ve taken inspiration from Stephen King’s “Dark Tower” series, Lord of the Rings, Gangs of New York, Anne Rice’s “Beauty” series, the movie Moulin Rouge… There’s a lot going on in my head, but here’s the basic plot:
Backstory:
Main character is seeking revenge for the massacre of her home some years back. (Think Fable 1 and Gangs of New York).
Plot:
She moves to the capitol city where the king lives. It’s kind of a big brother society, medeivel in a way but in no way conforming to history. After some planning, she meets the king (a known lecher) and he tries to seduce her, but she won’t give in. He invites her to live at court, and so she does, all the while planning to murder him in the most public way possible.
She ends up getting to know him very well and sees the duality in his personality. He used to be a tyrant, but now that he’s conquered the lands he wanted he has mellowed out and become somewhat soft, although he is merciless when opposed by an underground faction of rebels who oppose his right to his crown.
She becomes active with the group of rebels in the meanwhile in her attempt to assassinate him. They eventually all come to rely on her conviction that he should be put down and help her plan to murder him and replace him with the king’s first son born of the marriage his parents arranged before he had his parents and former wife murdered in his campaign for uncontested control.
In the end, she decides that she will convince the king to formally make an edict that his son should be his successor. He insists that she become queen so they may both adopt him, and she agrees having truly fallen for him.
Shortly after he makes the edict and they are married, he begins to get word of the underground resistance group the main character and his son are still affiliated with. He begins to go mad with paranoia and sets up a group of inquisitors to find out the group so that he may have them all killed.
The main character, given the choice to betray the resistance group or be killed along with the king’s son, makes the decision to kill the king and then herself, leaving the good-hearted son to rule.
And that’s essentially it. Sorry for the length. Opinions? Thanks!

Not to seem full of myself, but I’m the kind of person who’s really kind and loyal and trustworthy to everyone. If a friend needed me to come pick them up somewhere at 3 in the morning, I’d more than likely be there for them.
To make a long story short, I have a group of friends who I’ve had sort of an on and off relationship since my junior year of high school. We’re sophomore in college now, but with time these issues (for me) have only gotten worse.
I stopped hanging out with them because I didn’t feel like I belonged in their “niche.” The things that made them laugh, barely made me giggle.
I guess because of this they’ve never bothered to invite me places outside of school, even up to now. Three of my good friends belong to this group, and even though I’m not close with the others, I still wanted to see them and hang out with them every once in a while.
I’d make attempts, asking what was going on and when, and they’d always say they didn’t know but that they’d let me know, come Monday to find that they’d been to the beach that weekend, or they’d been to so and so house and had a party.
When I told my friend how much it hurt that they never invited me places, she told me that it was a two way street if you want to hang out with people, and wondered why I waited for her to invite me…
…but I guess I was being silly by assuming that asking what the group is going to be doing was the reasonable thing to do if you want to hang out with someone.
She finally admitted that because we don’t hang out/talk as often, she never thinks to invite me to the places they go. And she doesn’t feel like just inviting me somewhere with them will change anything.
I pretty much ended my friendship with her and my two close others friends, because I am certain they feel the same way that she does.
Was/Is this the right thing to do? Do I need to move on and find new friends? Am I expecting too much out of people?

By no means am I contemplating suicide. I just want to clear that up before I begin.
I always feel as though I’m just in life for the ride, and maybe that’s the point of life, but I always feel like I’m just there, never really serving any particular purpose except to be a not-so-worthy competition to other people. I wouldn’t call myself gorgeous, but I wouldn’t call myself ugly, either, but my friends get all the attention from girls and boys, and I’m the one who sits in the corner and holds the drinks. I consider myself average-looking, and I’ve been told many times that I’m really nice, but people would only want to know me as a friend, and nothing more, which makes me believe that I have to be rude and reckless to get a boy to like me and acknowledge me.
I know my niche is writing, but whenever I try to be as best as I can be at writing, there’s always somebody there to cut me down like a tree, to make me feel like writing isn’t my niche, to make me question whether or not it’s what I’m destined to do. Maybe I try too hard to be number one — I always submit my pieces to writing competitions, like one at my school, for example, where I came out in the bottom of the barrel, losing the top prizes to people who don’t even like writing, while it’s the one thing I can see myself doing for the rest of my life.
I have never really won anything, either. I don’t really expect to win things, because I’m not a competitive person, but I always feel like I want to be recognized for my writing or for some other attributes I have, and I always strive to get something that I really, truly want, but there’s always somebody better than me, always someone who wants it more, always something standing in the way of being recognized or getting what I want. I tried out to be a peer leader at my school for my last year, and I lost the position to kids in my class who are, in my opinion, the worst role models, to people who get everything they want handed to them on a silver platter, to people who bullied me and my friends, to people who drink until they’re so drunk that they pass out or hook up — or worse — with anybody on whom they can get their hands.
Maybe I’m looking way too deep into this, but I always feel like whenever I want to be recognized, there’s something or someone standing in the way and inhibiting my drive to be recognized, and it hurts me. Sometimes, like in the case of peer leaders, I found myself so upset by the decision that I began listing reasons why I’d be a better peer leader than the twelve who were chosen, and I’m not the kind of person to list the bads in people. I try to see the good in people, and sometimes I just get so upset by them doing better than me that I tend to do this.
I’m seventeen, and I have my future ahead of me, and maybe what I’m feeling is a part of growing up, or maybe I’m just being self-absorbed and selfish, but this is all really bothering me. How can I get out of feeling this way? How do I get used to the fact that there will always be people better than me? Is this normal, or am I being selfish? If I’m being selfish, how can I get over this, because I hate feeling like I’m being selfish, but I don’t know whether or not I’m being selfish?
Does all this even make sense?
Thanks
