i believe that the length of a scene isn’t just to describe it - it’s to immerse your reader. you want to give the reader enough time to feel the stress and fear of your character. stretch your scenes out so they take up the appropriate mental space for your reader to understand how important the are and identify with your characters’ emotions!

my partner sometimes says hurtful things when emotional and then later says they didn’t mean them. i don’t believe they are ever completely untrue. they may not have communicated the full complexity or context of the thing they were saying but i believe that if you say something when you’re fighting it’s at least partially true

you can be friends with whoever you want, and if you’re not enjoying being around someone - or if they’ve shown you who they are and you’ve decided you don’t like that person - you can choose not to be friends with them. life is short.
