Same. Sometimes after work or at the hotel I'll just write one sentence when I've had a super long day or am on a min rest just to keep the streak up. Finds it helps keep my mind in it for the days that I do have more time

Hey, to each ones own. I just find I like narrating from inside the head directly, if that makes sense.

I'll leave it up to any who read it to figure out if that was a good idea lol

It was a bit of an experiment and I admit I was a little torn about that. I debated making it a bit simpler or adding some more explanation. I settled on keeping it as is because I wondered if it might immerse people in the confusion or lack of sense that Tim was feeling.

thanks for saying that 🙂. rationally I know no one cares, still feels oddly vulnerable. I think the main fear is since Im in my uniform theyll think I have some delusions of great talent and a career swap even though i just do it for fun lol. Idk. But yeah, gotta learn theyre minding their business!

Thanks! My go to is often something like the heart skips a beat and i fall into repeating that a lot. I also have trouble keeping it distinct when i have multiple POVs. Most of the book is one, but it occasionally dives into others, and this one being a child was definitely a challenge lol.

i definitely can't focus on that, just because the plot moves on pretty quick, but it is an interesting idea i could use later, maybe as i explore at the end when a certain event vastly reduces the opposition to the chiefs policies and show others are coming around. 🤔 now im wondering lol

I mean, the SWAT officers arent meant to be bad people, as you see with that one officer, but in the broader context I'm trying to avoid the sort of glorify and thrill you gen on TV and show a more realistic light if that makes sense

Thanks! The problem is, this is the only scene hes in. A major theme of my story is that as the chief seeks to reform the police, he's hesitant at calling in SWAT as he sees the risk of escalation, but eventually has to when he cant trust other officers. I wanted to show it still had consequences
