#WordWeavers 10/3. If your antagonist had to live a week of your MC’s life, how would it affect them?
In Lies: they would hate it. Their life is very circumscribed, with few choices and a narrow set of possible goals — but it’s also very straightforward: do this, be rewarded (and if no reward, you must have Done The Thing wrong.)
Casey and Livia have more freedom but must make a lot of decisions and have much more nebulous goals. This particular antagonist would be completely lost.

#WordWeavers In Sunset Grill: the antagonists in the current storyline would also be horrified. As a group they are Aesop’s dog — the one who dropped his bone in the river because he thought he saw another dog in the water with a bigger, better bone. They have quite a lot; but there are those with *more*, and they can’t stand it. They’re aware there’s also people with less, but they’ve constructed a scenario where Those People Deserve It.
My protagonists are largely Those People, so.
