LAST CENTURY'S WRITING STYLES

Naturalism is writing about forces greater than humans. Nature is so much bigger than people that people are never going to matter. Any force bigger than the protagonist is unchangeable.

Everyday would be better than the last and everything would upgrade. Liminal refers to a state of being. It's what you are when you are no longer what you used to be but not yet what you're gonna be.
