Needless to say, there will be some minor tweaking in the final revision. 😂

Isaac: So one could have a yellow corona and the other could have a blue one.

Me, after googling some: Baby, did you know that some binary stars are different colors? Right here it give the example that one can be yellow and one can be blue!

Me: Well, It's not really like good and bad. They think it is, but it's more like Joy and Sadness from Inside Out. It's a part of my dragon metaphor. You have to have both.

Isaac: Not anger?

Me: Not really.

Isaac: Anxiety?

Me: ABSOLUTELY!

Me: They just do. I don't know how. They just do.

Isaac: You should make one have flames since its evil.

Me: Can I shift your thinking a bit?

Isaac: Sure.

Me: Well, the two suns orbit each other. They eclipse each other once every 5 days. The people in my story believe that they are twins fighting over the same solar system. They think that one, Cin, is good and the other, Olc, is bad.

Isaac: How can they tell the difference between them?

Me: 🤨

For a big planner, this kind of decision is new to me. It’s a strange feeling to have a scene growing and needing to decide where to place it.

I let it simmer. Now, 113k words into the story, I know how I want it to be. Now I need to decide who I want to be a part of the conversation and where in the story I want to place it.

Now I go back to writing whenever I'm able to, inching along to the finish line. 🐢

One led Dri’s brother to death and another has sunk its talons into her mother. Now, she’s on a mission to discover how to finish them off once and for all. But, can one ever really slay their dragons?

In Dri’s world, dragons existed so long ago that nobody believes they were ever real, but Dri can see them. Shifted incorporeal, they coexist with the people of Cretala and feed off of their emotion, disease, and pain.

Meanwhile I’m over here evil laughing because that particular character may become pretty important to the plot (and some fun!)
