lgbt+ representation in my current WIP:

>mc is gay
>love interest is pansexual
>major friend is nonbinary
>friend has transfemme girlfriend
>mc's cousin comes out as a lesbian

honestly, this is the most I've put in a single book, but at 28 characters so far, it's also the longest character list period.

can't tell if I'm stuck at trying to name a burger restaurant or stuck because it's finally hit me this WIP is probably going to be 100k+ and the immensity of the task is hitting me like a punch to the face.

it's happened with almost every book of that size so far.

inflicting misery on charcters in writing be like "hmmm, the cat's already dealing with depression now, do I add in alcoholism before the otherworldy guardian angel drops or after?"

and yes, this type of weird question IS my writing "brand".
