Gowaniios

Gowaniios is a personal writing and storytelling project that publishes original fiction, short narratives, and flash pieces. It features a main work-in-progress novel titled 'Washie & The Wall,' set in 1981 Belfast, along with supporting materials like story bibles, lore sheets, character profiles, and worldbuilding notes. The site also includes a commonplace book containing poetry, writing prompts, scattered thoughts, and reflections on the craft of writing.

The main project on the site is a novel titled 'Washie & The Wall,' which is currently in a drafting status. The story takes place in 1981 Belfast and follows the eldest son of a prominent Provisional IRA commander who risks his family's safety to protect a stealth Protestant trans woman. The narrative explores themes of identity and independence while building an illegal, paper fortress against a polarized city.

Visitors can explore the site through a section called 'The Library,' which is organized into three distinct corners of a garden. These corners include 'Stories' for original fiction and flash pieces, 'Story bibles' for lore sheets and character profiles, and a 'Commonplace Book' for poetry and writing prompts. This structure allows readers to navigate different types of content easily.

The author lives and writes in Pennsylvania, where most of their work deals with small-town folklore and the complex nature of relationships. When not working on a messy first draft, the author spends time digging through old records and keeping a meticulous commonplace book. Their current fixations include music like Supertramp and folk music, as well as aesthetics like cryptids and weighted blankets.

The author describes their desk as messy and states that they do not keep a clean work space. They are currently dealing with crippling insomnia and prefer oversized hoodies. These personal details provide insight into the environment where the writing takes place.

The author identifies as a fan of Supertramp but has recently become really into folk music. They also have a strong interest in cryptids, particularly the Mothman. These specific interests are listed under their current fixations on the about page.
