I have writing projects I want to work on but I’ve also started really wanting to make friends outside of work and roommates.

I imagine it would be nice to meet up with someone here and there around town(I live in north Austin so preferably in that area) and chit chat for a bit to chill and then when we’re ready lock in and get some writing done. I feel like it would be motivational for me to work alongside someone casually and perhaps developing a friendship alongside.

A sort of pressure free casual hang where we also get work done in a relaxed environment.

I wonder if anybody would be interested in this dynamic?

Does anybody else absolutely despair when they have to walk through the snowy mountains in DAI after in your hearts shall burn?

I can’t help but disasociate trudging through, it’s so tedious.

I usually smoke in my house but sometimes I find a beautiful spot like this that deserves a special toke. What were your favorite outdoor sessions?

My story is centered on a single pov but nearly equally revolves around a second character.

My question is on the point I should begin the narrative given that the story doesn’t truly begin until the two characters meet, But giving the readers a chance to experience the nature of the pov character prior to the meeting could contextualize the extreme shift the pov character undergoes.

So I have two options in my mind.

Begin the story when character A arrives in city prior to meeting character B to ground the reader in who this character is.

Or (my intuitive compelling) to begin the story in the immediate events leading up to characters A and B meeting since this is the catalyst to the overarching plot.

But potentially losing that chance at a wider understanding of character As motivations.

Anyway. I’m torn. Was wondering what yall think.
