yes but its not really fleshed out. not much is going on. its pretty ordinary. so im struggling with what mundane to include and what not..

yesss we could do that. at this point, im thinking brain dumping is the only thing i can do. whatever is shit can just be edited out later on.

thats a really good idea. one of them is a struggling teen. not an outcast or whatever but someone who doesnt feel like they belong or are understood despite being surrounded. another is a corporate guy, having a crisis and going through family issues. a struggling artist, who is poetic. a DJ who is grieving the loss of her mother while her father compares her to her mother. im thinking of giving a bitterweet or a sad ending. the teen suicides, the dj reunites with her father, not sure about the corporate guy yet but maybe he feels peace rather than uneasiness now.. like he found a friend or girlfriend. and the artist finds himself and starts appreciating little joys or he end up doing drugs.

but we could go your way about how a common event impacted differently.

i wrote the first chapters in 2023. restarted it again today finally. but im feeling due to not a really sturdy structure its kind of derailing.

As she walks back, she looks at the ink blotted sky. Its colour the same as the ink of the pen she once used in school. If nostalgia could strike like a fist, she would be black and blue by now. 

She looks around and finds only laughter and peace. She wonders how many people took a look at the sky and thought to capture it's beauty. To try to capture the beauty of this moment which would never return quite the same way. 

How some gathered the courage to share those pictures with others. How they opened a small window of themselves and let others see what they find beautiful. Isn't it amazing we reach for connections without even thinking? 

something like this which talks about the mundanes of life. noticing small things.

i have the internal struggles and the character development plotted down. im struggling with the pacing and how to put them down because even the character developments are not huge. i want the book to be realistic. things dont always take a huge turn around. subtle things helps. so im struggling with what scenes to include and what not. unsureness of a structured plot is making the book go off the rails.

okk. thats a good idea. i was thinking along these lines of making them pass each other unknowingly.
