the other day I realized I will need to revisit sixteen minutes again after these edits to libaw are done, mostly just to ensure everything's consistent bc there have been some significant timeline modifications to the main story, and I'm literally still coming to terms with this. 🙃

You say things like dangerous, wrong and twisted but all I say is: more.

God I've been getting so much material to "fill in the blanks" for a new Act I chapter (not actually new in concept, but it was only ever partially drafted Back In the Day) and yet I still only have the opening scene officially "on paper" (ie. in the chapter draft doc).

This chapter is very important to include in the final because there are a couple of scenes that I think are CRUCIAL to the development of Gabriel's romantic feelings for Jeff. Like, I've obviously been getting away with not including them (the chapter where Gabriel realizes he's in love with Jeff being a different chapter that's been in the book for the last few versions), but ultimately I think it would be a disservice to the story not to include them. These scenes are also super intimidating to me because they're meant to include a lot of very intricate and, at times, very subtle character work that I need to really nail in order for the scenes to come across properly and enhance the following stages of the relationship. As a result, 90% of everything I have for this chapter is currently in my notes app. 💀

I know the answer to getting past this conundrum is simple: just draft the fucking thing and go from there, like I always do. But for whatever reason, this one feels larger than life for me - maybe because it's been a part of the story in my head for SO LONG. But getting through this one is really going to be like levelling up for me, representing some kind of real growth as a writer.

Or maybe I just need to remind myself of my longtime motto when it comes to difficult (for me) scenes: "if you wrote Sixteen Minutes, you can write this."

One of my favorite sightings of the past. Spotted in October 2009 when it was nice and new. 2010 Ferrari 16M Scuderia Spider

Charles getting ready for FP3 with his special helmet commemorating 16 million Instagram followers.

Sure, it's a little silly to make a helmet for that, but at the same time, also a little endearing. Charles and his number 16 obsession, thanking his followers, I think it's cute.

Also, he only reached 15 million a month and a half ago at about the same time as Ferrari. And then Monaco happened and he gained a whopping 800,000 new followers just like that. Ferrari, meanwhile, is only at 15.3M followers.
