Okay so the very obvious trend is that I start with dialogue a LOT. or I describe the weather, a lot, too. I definitely have crutches haha.
I think my favorite is 13 (bc i think its funny) or 18 (because yes, yes he does)
I'm not tagging anyone because I don't know anyone on this platform anymore, but everyone who sees it is welcome to do it!!
