I’m attempting to see how my story would turn out if I wrote it out like I was Mason. I love the idea of having it look like it was written by the child. I’m trying to determine if I should do this digitally or with actual crayons or colored pencils then scanning them in. I think the little quirky drawings would give him a little more personality.
Mason is the protagonist, right? So it makes sense to keep it in his POV? What aspects of the story will be available (to not) in this POV?
I like the child font and pictures, but you may want to choose a standard font –that has childlike qualities but is regular–for readability.
Though the hand-drawn look is convincing as a child’s work.

This is the website for the font creator! Have fun, and don’t get too sucked into it, it can be a bit addicting trying to get your letters right.
