very well, you're in. you have no creative input on the team name (already decided) but if we win, you get the victory-sash x

do you have a pub quiz team dezzy lad

...sorry I’m no help at all but I am thinking about you writing and sending positive energy...which you don’t need anyway because you’re a writer...you’re an exceptional writer...and that’s what will shine, your talent....

..it doesn’t need to be flourished out...that’s awful English but if it’s short, it’ll be enough because you’ll have given that glimpse of darkness with whatever that person is doing in the overall story../..their crime as it were...

..people are ‘broken’, Dezzy..people are flawed and you accept that and you accept people etc...you accept darkness and you accept light...so it’s to try not to overthink because it’s just you and who you are and that’ll transfer to the book and to it’s pages...it just will because it couldn’t not...

...and you don’t ‘bulk’ it out to do it either, Dezzy...even with a few lines, we really get the characters...

...your characters always have great depth...so a chapter would be a bit like Darkwood, when you write those stories...the depth comes from the dimensions you give people...they re not always ‘nice’ people but they always have meaning..?...and that’s the ‘great’ about it all and how you do it...

..I logged off and logged back on again because my head was a thinkin’...and you know how I do that a thinkin’ stuff...

.......

...you overthink...you want to think it won’t be good before you’ve written it...and then you won’t feel deflated or disappointed etc......but you’re not going to feel deflated or disappointed because it’s going to be good...even if it wasn’t the best-seller, it’s still going to be good and excellent and will lead to another, I think...I won’t let you not believe in yourself, I’m just not going to allow it Nd am going to get very bossy about it...
