About Abstracting Realism - New Writing Genre

  I'm Bella Parker, and I've spent the last six years developing something I call Abstracting Realism (AR) - a storytelling technique that puts readers directly inside characters' minds. Instead of just reading about what characters think, you actually experience their consciousness through fragmented thought patterns.

"Five Minutes" is my debut psychological thriller using this technique. It follows Sofia Stone, a struggling artist, and Ethan Kellerton, a powerful CEO, as their relationship unfolds against dangerous hidden threats. The story emerged from my personal journey to capture authentic human experience on the page.

My writing began with a simple question: "How do I describe the intangible so others will know what it feels like?" After years of organic development, AR became my answer. The technique can be integrated at different levels - from 30% to 90% - depending on what each scene needs.

I also create digital art and am developing teaching methods for AR. My goal is to push storytelling boundaries and create deeper connections between readers and characters. Some beta readers say it feels like "being in a movie inside your head" or "more real than regular books."

I'm excited to share this new approach to storytelling and would love your honest feedback.

Welcome to the Beta Reading Experience for Abstructing Realism™.

After six years in development, Abstracting Realism™ is ready to debut. This new genre breaks from traditional storytelling by blending raw emotional realism with layered, intuitive abstraction. Readers don’t just follow a plot — they feel, sense, and interpret the story from the inside out.

This isn’t just about reading — it’s about becoming part of something new. You’ll read one high-impact chapter or excerpt that blends emotion, abstraction, and realism — then answer five (5) short reflection questions. Your insights will directly influence the final development of this genre.

What you'll do:

• Read 1 powerful chapter or excerpt
• Answer 8 short questions (mandatory) 

• Write a Comment (not mandatory)

What you're part of:

Your feedback helps shape the next wave of fiction. You’re not just reading — you’re helping redefine modern storytelling.

This is not a “test of your editing skills.” This is an invitation to engage as a real person, not a critic — to respond to a story built from lived experience, emotional layers, and human intuition.

Thank you for your participation. I sincerely appreciate your insight.
