#WritersCoffeeClub May 13: Does alienation feature in your work? Give an example.

My main characters are kids and teens abducted into a paramilitary cult, so the first thing that happens is they're plunged into an education system built on obedience and stark good/evil divide. School used to be a space of support and learning, but it turns into the opposite--ignorance and judgment--so they recoil from it.

Another 1000+ words today. I feel myself getting less excited about writing more, so I'm going to leave it for the day.

They're good words! I'm building towards an ending I have planned in my head. Big climax, swords fights, but mostly emotions. I may be leaning into familiar tropes, but I'll find ways to personalize it. I'm freshly confident I can do that.

Feels good.
