Thank you, especially for what you wrote about things being "in-character," because the subjectivity aspect of it is so true. You're making me feel a lot better about writing this!
Ah yeah I feel like I owe so much to my plot bunny as it's been nagging at me for quite some time. I'm still working on the heavily detailed outline because I feel like it's really good for me to know where I want the story to go. Thank you for your encouragement!
