People talk about the enemies to lovers trope as if it's an evolution of a relationship and not two things that can be true at the same time.

Decided that episode 8 of my novel is actually episode seven part 2 and no this isn't an Ultima reference.

This is your sign btw that you should call Mastercard
Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

I, who plan my novel in six chapter arcs, feel uneasy as I sit down to write. I take a walk listening to a playlist inspired by the book. While climbing Croix Rousse listening to Doomscroller by Metric, I throw out the entire outline and rewrite it in my head. It fucks.
