          I like it! I like how you’re beginning to integrate action on Sef’s part. I definitely want to see an explanation for why she is stronger than other people the pythonos use. I’d guess her strength comes from hope, but she doesn’t seem to have any up until this point.

            I’m confused…what gave you the impression that Sef is stronger than most people the Pythonos use? that wasn’t my intent at all…

            The whole point of the chapter was to show more of her weaknesses and now I’m confused XDXD

              I should have been clearer. XD I was talking about this chapter but also recent events in the book. One of the last chapters had this:

              “Thisss one, Iver?” he slapped his knee, shaking his head. “You sssay your power comesss from this weakling?”

              Iver stared at him. “She isss not as weak as she appearsss.”

              Sef blinked hard.

              And then Iver proves himself right. On the one hand, maybe this just means Sef believes the lies more than other people would. But I got the sense that Iver was referring to how long she has lasted without dying. If that’s true, Sef would have to possess more strength than a normal Pythonos’ slave.

              As for the latest chapter. Maybe I was focusing more on Sef’s actions than her thoughts – because we have seen her in the same mindset throughout the entire book – but she did get up and spend time outside. That’s a step in the right direction. Before, she just stayed put.

              I realize you’re thinking about Sef’s emotions, but as the reader, I guess I’m paying attention for any change or development.

                Ohhhh that makes more sense.

                And then Iver proves himself right. On the one hand, maybe this just means Sef believes the lies more than other people would. But I got the sense that Iver was referring to how long she has lasted without dying. If that’s true, Sef would have to possess more strength than a normal Pythonos’ slave.

                Sef doesn’t possess more strength, she believes the lies way more than anyone else. Because she believes the lies, she doesn’t die. So in a way, her severe weakness is what Iver calls “strong” because she gives him power and doesn’t die. So both things you said are right, but the only reason she doesn’t die is because of how much she believes the lies.

                That does make sense, I think….

                  If there’s any way I can help, let me know. Regarding the chapter, I’ll try to look at it as soon as possible. Btw, if you’re stuck, take a day or two to let your work sit and come back to it with fresh eyes and let your mind wander. That usually helps me when I don’t know what to do with a story.

                    Ack, sorry I disappeared! It was garage sale weekend in our neighborhood.

                    First of all, girl, I love you so much ????

                    You’re the best and your personality is actually such a vibe hahaha

                    I appreciate you so much, you make me smile <3

                    Thank you!???

                    The thing is, if I make myself write as a routine, it will seem like a chore. Plus life is very crazy and uncertain because of all the stuff with my mom and I don’t want to overstress myself XD

                    Fair enough. The fun factor of a thing immediately decreases when you feel forced to do something.

                    Good chapter! I love that Sef is finally feeling some hope, even if it did come crashing down like that.? It’s good to see a glimmer of light in the darkness. I eagerly await the next one!
