I've had Allaire on my mind again, with this scene being the one that kicks off some flashback scenes to her losing the weight (which just means we can get to see how big she used to be). I already have done some stuff with that, but I'm going to wait until I'm a bit more certain with where I want to go/do with it.
In general I've had to reconsider how much I really want to keep writing for my characters. Somehow I've built this urgency to keep writing for characters that started with one, like Allaire here and Millie, to name another example. But those stories ended up being quite an anomaly for how great they turned out (great as in how quickly it flowed out of my fingers and the fun, not necessarily the quality). So to keep on waiting until that moment returns... yeah that's exactly why Millie has been benched for so long. Hopefully I'll be able to let go of that urge, because if I do I believe I'll be able to create with more freedom and have prior characters return. :>
What that means for Allaire is most likely shorter stories (and much more leaning on short snippets) but the quantity will be higher too. Hopefully, that is. This is all just theory that I have yet to put in practice. π€
