Thank you, Nadia. I think some of us writers can worry about coming across as unsubtle when making those differences between characters quite stark (or giving one a wooden leg), but I also think most readers just accept with those differences without thinking about it, and (like you say) that offers possibilities for generating moments of tension and tenderness.
I haven’t seen the film but I love the way you’re talking about Story Energies. I’m hooked!
It's great to hear that they're resonating with you, Kathleen. Stay tuned for more!
