Daron's Guitar Chronicles: Vols 1-3

Daron’s Guitar Chronicles tells the story of Daron Marks, a young gay guitar player, from about the time he is eighteen onward. He arrives at RIMCon (Rhode Island Musical Conservatory) in the mid-1980s, desperate to leave behind a dysfunctional family in New Jersey’s suburbs and discover himself. It’s the advent of MTV, AIDS, and punk versus metal, all of which will affect his journey searching for fame, artistic expression, and the courage to seek out the love he needs. Daron struggles with staying in the closet as much as he struggles to get his music heard. 

Daron’s Guitar Chronicles is a "bildungsroman," which is a fancy word for a novel where the coming of age process is long and gradual. It runs as a twice-a-week web serial at http://daron.ceciliatan.com where there are extras like liner notes, song lyrics, art, fan art, and more.

Great story ! I'm also writing my own The girl who touched the moon. Maybe you could check it out. ✌🏼

This is a reread for me too. I feel like I know Daron now, and this is a home movie of when we met. Trust me, this story is super absorbing. Cecelia is such an awesome writer that she makes these chapters come alive.

i can relate to the fake weed smoking. as someone who's played in a band before I can't say we ever really cared what we wore

Yay, re-read! So how exactly is this supposed to be working? Is it a chapter a day or something?
                              
                              That being said, wow, Daron really has no backbone in the beginning, does he?

@Emoxxprincess I'm going to update more on Wattpad, too. I just haven't had the chance!

@Emoxxprincess Cool! When you get to the end of what's here, there's more at the Daron's Guitar Chronicles website, too!
