Journal Date: 12/9

Today, I started on what will probably be my most serious romance to date. It's somber. But I want to write it because I feel it has a lot of potential for me as a writer to explore modes of thought and methods of delivery that I've only used briefly before.

Journal entry 12/1/18:

Have you ever had a story fly out of your fingers? Not literally, I mean, that would be bloody messy.

So, as I continue to work on a couple of different stories, I thought I'd share some tidbits that don't reveal the plot or spoiler the story. They're just character informative or world informative bits that I thought might be interesting. Keep in mind these are less my notes about them (Because for some of it, it's less note taking than just pantsed writing), and more my thoughts about the concepts as they'll appear in the story. The actual history won't be in the story, because it's

Spoilers for the story will probably be spilled below, so beware if you haven't read the whole and don't want to spoil the ending. It is a mystery after all

Possible spoilers for Cake Thief below, so ...
