Scribs you look sexier than usual.Also, https://www.reddit.com/r/london/comments/4llg3w/my_14_year_old_sister_has_been_missing_for_over/? anyone know how to find her?
I hope she turns up okay
Sadly, the main things I learned about missing persons having researched a lot for my novel is that if they don't come back of their own volition, very little is done officially to find them. The police care very little about cases like that, and there isn't much that people can do other than make a fuss themselves, rally people into search groups, spread the word. Generally, most missing person cases are fully resolved within one year; as a statistic, that's not exactly a great amount of help to those close to the missing party. Luckily, she's a young white girl, the media loves a missing young white girl, so she's got more going for her than most other missing persons.
Originally posted by It's xyz!Yeah, still (slowly) trying to find a publishing agent for it (I finished the first main draft over a year ago). It's a horror/thriller with some supernatural elements, although I feel terms like that kind of miss the point with what I was going for with it. It's basically just really weird.
You wrote a novel about missing people?
Idk, she doesn't look pure white.
