@intrepidusink.bsky.social Well, I’ve given birth, and there’s nothing like that mix of pain, emotion, and instincts to concentrate the mind! I did draw on my own experience. Doing it in few words is largely due to repeated rewrites, I’m a compulsive culler of words.

@intrepidusink.bsky.social I discover the tension, but initially I have placed a complex character in a challenging position, so the tautness is not hard to find. It’s a question of ushering the story along using careful pacing and those shift moments.
