An hour of work and a thousand words later, I diagnosed the writing problem that kept me from typing all day as me wanting to see Yves's friends responding to the conversation with his co-parents rather than the conversation itself.
But I may ALSO be coming down with a virus.
Do you ever go back to read your own writing and you're like, "Damn...I WROTE that?!" But then other times you're like, "Damn...I wrote THAT?!"

It's infinitely easier for me to 'reverse engineer' characters I create. I come up with interesting dynamics, and then I find an explanation why it's possible. Questions for characters like 'what food they like', 'what hobbies they have' are absolutely unusable for me somehow. First I know the vibe, and only then I reverse engineer all those small details if I ever need them at all
That moment when one of your characters tells you something and completely shuffles your plans.
I've created two characters intended to end up with Yaetherim. Neither of them are interested. One's ace. The other's his soulmate, but in a 'sister-he-never-had' way.

So, second novella (novellette? <20K words, so I'm not sure where it really lands) is about to get published to KDP. I'm at the point where the writing no longer fits the working title that well. It probably still works, but, I'm uncertain now.
While I started the work with a tone in mind, the harshness intended in the original title softened as I wrote, and the main character changed her stance in the midpoint. So… 🤷🏻♂️
