oh jesus CHRIST catherine. how do you do these things to me. this was - jesus - i can't even explain it. your writing is as ever brilliant and there's something about the little details and revelations you leave all over this piece that just cut to the core. like this:

John suddenly realized why he was so fascinated with her. In some way she reminded him of his own mother.i just - can't, sigh. it's so good

[sonofon]

T-THIS IS SUCH A KIND COMMENT I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO RESPOND FKSDL;DAK

Sometimes a lot of my writing becomes a matter of observing details; meaning, instead of anything happening I decide to describe objects. Through this, I want to try to gain character perspective. Free indirect discourse, if you want an intellectual label. So some details don't seem very important but maybe for that character it was worthwhile noting of.

.......I'm not too sure what saying this is going to prove but in any case, thank you!! I'm really glad that you like my original characters, because writing these characters, I've found, is much more difficult than staying in-character for already established ones like John. I'm in the midst of trying to write some of my own original stuff......it's quite a mess but your encouragement is something I'll remember for always ♥

"the existential crises of Godard’s male leads"

bro. BRO. BRO. WHAT IS THIS "SONOFON CANNOT WRITE" TAG WHERE IS THE "SONOFON IS SO FUCKING GOOD AT WRITING THAT SHE MAKES EVERYBODY LOSE THE ABILITY TO CAN" BC THATS WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME RN

this is really fucking perfect bro, omg ;_______;. i especially loved the elderly couple and this: The alluring aroma of the oven, the hum in the refrigerators; these sensory details held more appeal than the absolute certainty of reality. really good, really fucking good. and also the part where he just watches the altercation outside, and being in fredinand's apartment and, oh, wait, the whole fucking fic

I ALWAYS FEEL LIKE MY WRITING IS FULL OF CHEESE. LIKE THIS WIBBLY WOBBLY PIECE OF BLURGH AND DID YOU KNOW I SAVED THE WORD DOCUMENT FOR THIS AS "CHEESE" BECAUSE THAT IS REALLY WHAT
I
THOUGHT

so like, it honestly means a lot what you guys say about it. it helps me realize what works, what doesn't, what i want to work on, and that is is why "sonofon cannot write" because everything is a process in experimentation. and so forth.

ah thank you qathryn!! cries
