I honestly have no idea how I keep breaking rules lol. I honestly think I've read them all and then.. oopsies. Facepalm. Maybe my subconcious does it. In some ways I'm like my narrator... She doesn't read the whole spell before she snips her fathers shadow, and thus the consequences are his suicide, which could be seen as murder.

Oh she feels totally superior to everyone, she's so smart. And she's so pissed off with them all for believing the father, I don't think she can connect with anyone. Even when she stands accused she can't stop expressing contempt.

I swept back through and edited it for the fourth wall, as it changed the whole tone to have her speak directly to the jury. Super fun to write.

Funny you haven't read my fiction... I do have long breaks but seems the Inkwell prompts have unleashed the beast again. I've got another one ready to publish tonight lol. And another at some point in drafts 😂 Not questioning the process, just flowing with da muse! 😂

Thanks so much for your praise, means a lot!
