Jane lies in her bed, alone.

Alone, but not lonely.

She's feeling something she can't put into words, but if she articulates the sensation it makes it real, and Jane desperately doesn't want it to be real.

She rolls over to stare at her alarm clock. In four hours it will be morning and she can go to work like nothing's wrong.

Nothing's wrong.

She gives up and pads to the fridge on restless bare feet, glad the boiler in the basement is working again. She rubs her face and yawns and looks through her fridge.

It's as empty as she feels.

She pours herself a glass of water and looks out the window. The city lights, the swishing traffic on the street below, the nearby harbour loud on quiet nights.

Alone, but not lonely.

She goes back to the bedroom. She looks out the window.

There's a shooting star, and she makes a wish.

A moment later, her phone pings.

It's Maura, and she's awake and she's out in her courtyard looking up at the same night sky.

And Maura says she's lonely, so Jane stuffs her feet into shoes and grabs Jo's lead and she drives over to Beacon Hill.

She's not alone any more.

Different POVs In Writing

POV - Short for Point Of View, meaning that the audience is experiencing a story from the perspective of a specific person or outside entity; they are part of the story in one way or another

• 1st Person POV - Experiencing a story from the perspective of the main character. Pronouns will be I, me, my, mine, etc

• 2nd Person POV - Experiencing a story from your own perspective as if you were a character within the story. Pronouns will be you, your, yours, etc. Stories are rarely written from this perspective outside of Choose Your Own Adventure style stories

• 3rd Person POV - Experiencing a story from an outside perspective. No personal pronouns will be used for you, but other characters will be referred to as he, she, they, it, etc

• 4th Person POV - Experiencing a story through a collective perspective. Pronouns include we, us, someone, anyone, etc. I’ve never seen a story written from this perspective. Fourth person perspective is mostly used in livestreams, in which the chat forms a non-specific collective presence that are all addressed as one

Made a helpful little infographic.

According to a recent report published by the Aargauer Zeitung (h/t Golem.de), around three million smart toothbrushes have been infected by hackers and enslaved into botnets.

The most cyberpunk thing on your dash today.

i really believe that discussing the character with someone who shares ur interpretation is the closest u can get to modern day philosophy. we are like plato and aristotle but talking about a fictional guys trauma

"How can you write romance if you're asexual?" The same way I write fight scenes despite never having elbowed some dude in the small intestine: Really badly and I don't know what I'm talking about pls I'm sorry-
