Hello everyone! I haven't been on in like a year, but I thought I'd answer the questions I missed anyway, because... well, why not? Welcome to the new people! What has everyone been working on? Has the crazy world affected your creative/writing processes at all? How is everyone?
Without further ado:
Describe the plot of the story you're currently working on as terribly as you can:
Two characters go for a walk to answer a question
What are the greatest fears of your main characters?
Optional: Are they forced, by the plot, to face their fears?
Myyy character is an adopted child trying to find her birth parents, so really everything about the entire situation is full of messy feelings and fear C: *basks in the angst*
Does your story have underlying themes or morals? What are they?
Optional: Why did you choose them?
It's (supposed to be) infused with themes of trust and friendship, and it's kind of supposed to be about relationships between people? I didn't pick them on purpose, that's kind of just what ended up happening xD

I don't usually find myself getting super attached to what's happening in the story - because I know that's what happens, you know, so it doesn't strike me like it would if I were reading it --
but I got overwhelmed with pity for a character while writing something & I'm just happy to have felt that way. I'm really connected to this project and that's a big deal - because I've been working on it for a solid seven years now.
Has anyone else had this happen?
I'm glad you're connecting with it, and enjoying that connection! I definitely grow attached to my characters c:

anyway I have a scene where a guy chases a girl and he starts singing to her to gain her attention. it has a few verses but what would be a good way to incorporate him singing the lyrics while describing what he's doing, what the girl is doing and what other people around them are doing? i hope this question makes sense? XD
(You've probably already written it, but I'd like to answer anyway.) If I had been online earlier, I would have suggested alternating lines of lyrics with lines/paragraphs of action, and weaving them together in a pattern, if that makes sense. What did you end up doing?
