You just revealed my personal hell so, story first is absolutely the more sane option 😂

Yep, similar struggles with my story’s rule by despots…“Come and see the violence inherent in the system” 😅
A nasty twist might be that the big baddie is the one manipulating the translation through magic? 🤷‍♀️
Sort of what I have going

I like your ideas for addressing it, or at least it’s a nice explanation if someone ever asked. Do you imagine playing with the language barrier in your writing? I do, although it’s more of a sci-fi version. It’s fun to dig into the misunderstandings.

For speedy cooking, we spatchcocked ours which is way less filthy than it sounds

I can’t imagine writing dialogue without knowing what someone is thinking. Plus, I think it’s more fun for the reader to see a character’s thought expressing ‘no way because I’m super afraid’ ideally through actions like fidgeting or whatever, and then they say yes 🤣

This has notes of the movie High Fidelity ✨

A bit of everything? I definitely visualize everything. That’s not really a choice, it just happens.
Much of my time is spent considering what a character is thinking versus what they say. To me, those differences are the best place to put my thought energy🤷‍♀️

Yeah you do!

Feeling this. When I’m writing or playing music, I feel like I’m disconnecting from everything else. Otherwise… Yeah.

I’m hoping it’s more spiritual. Be the rabbit.

Funny timing, two days ago, I had to look up what a “postcard“ stamp was worth so I could use the ones I had to send a letter out 😹
