Writerly Ways
Aug. 10th, 2022 08:38 pmAnd Love & THunder. Finally saw Thor Love & Thunder. It was a lot of fun. Taika Waititi did something very hard, balancing a very dark plot with enough humor to make it not feel like a dirge. Mom and I really enjoyed it.
Thanks for everyone who chimed in on my question. It's much appreciated. I did forget to mention a few things that you hit on, like Covid putting a time stamp on it which was one of my thoughts. Aaronlisa's storm suggestion reminded me my dumb ass fell in Winter so ice/snow could definitely lend to isolation. I think I'll leave Covid out. At some point I'll have to reread my own journal to outline a little. I'm not an outliner and but I will need some help here as I have oxycontin holes in my memory.
