LET HER COOK, I SAY! But this is fascinating! I love the thematic elements, and I think you've worked them in beautifully. My question is how do you go about building the puzzle?
I'll have to see your answer tomorrow cos it's bedtime, but I look forward to it.
Sleep well, Em!

😭😭😭 SO GOOD! Pam I totally did this with a girl when I was young and she captured it perfectly.
The hand holding, the imagery of the two stars pointing north being both of them, the crossing of the line (will they become star-crossed lovers?), and the underlying tension holding it all in place.

She really is brilliant at it, isn't she, Pam? Kay, please finish this at some point too!

You do it so well! I've done the same thing with the setting mirroring the mood, but it's never quite right.
This has been haunting me for the past week too. Lennie's thoughts about the water. How cold it is. About wading in and never leaving.
Legit chills. PLS TEACH ME HOW TO WRITE LIKE THIS. 😭

THIS. It's been months, Kayleigh, and I still think about this snip. I dunno how you do it, but I literally feel my pulse quicken as I read it. The clinking of the ring, especially. I can HEAR IT! 😶🌫️
Not the intended "sauce,” but I wrote this bit yesterday (still needs editing, not sure about last line, etc. etc.)
Anyway, cheers. 🥃

I'll figure out a way to explain it. I realise I've never REALLY thought about how I do it, and it's a good exercise for me as well. To see if I even can! 😅 Most of it comes naturally, somehow.

Omg yes please! And, Pam, please teach us how to do those incredible character moments! (And descriptions too please, those are my weak spots 😅)

The idea itself needs to be faceted. "What is truth, really?" is a good example. How do people decide what is true?
Oooh I think this would become a very long thread if I went into it. Let me think about it and try to put all of it into proper words.
I'll get back to you, I promise. 😁

... see how you tackle it! The humour part I can't really explain, that's just me trying to be funny and hoping for the best. But this was a tough chapter to write. Lots of characters, lots of plot points, lots of shenanigans, all happening at the same time. 😅

Aww thanks Pam, you're too kind! 💚 Erm, if you really wanna know, what I do is take an idea and break it up into different pieces, and have those pieces fight each other. 😅 This entire chapter comes from one idea: What is the truth? You can do this exercise too, if you'd like :). I'd love to... 🧵+

Eeeek is right! 😅 We'll have to take it one day at a time, I guess.
Editing isn't really going anywhere, because I've been procrastinating. 🥲 But I'll start soon, i promise!

Thanks, PJ! I haven't really been able to reconcile it either. I personally haven't figured out the solution to this, so I can't include it in the story. But our writer friends all gave me some insight and I feel a bit better now. :)
And now you're here so I've definitely brightened! 😁
