4. Share a sentence or paragraph from your writing that you’re really proud of (explain why, if you like)
The thing about debris after a natural disaster is that they can be cleaned away, but the scars are always visible to those familiar with how the landscape looked before.
Having Kara crash-land on her couch every night for a week straight feels very similar.
It’s like that between them now, a ruin with a new coat of pain to hide the cracks. And just the way it happens with a city after an earthquake, how one can tell where the collapsed buildings used to stand years after the fact, Lena can point out the gaping holes in their relationship that the important things between them left behind. For her it’s not the highschool or the coffee corner shop, but linking arms while on a walk, the whispered conversations in the dark. The mutual unburdening, which had been to them as natural as breathing.
There’s nothing left but dust.
I’m just happy of how this one turned out - I think it’s one of the best paragraphs I ever wrote - I like the comparison between the debris and ghosts of places past an earthquake leaves behind and the debris of a friendship.
6. What character do you have the most fun writing?
Lena Luthor. The rage, the grief, the gay pining. I feel I have her characterization down pretty good.
Which is harder: titles or summaries (or tags)?
Fucking summaries mate. I HATE THEM
