Sometimes it isn't possible to include every single idea I have in my books. Sometimes I have to cut out hilarious or awesome scenes because they don't really fit, or they are too slow for the pace of the book. So, Skript will include random moments from ALL of my characters! It could be before or after or during when the book is taking place. Sometimes it could be a re imagining of a scene I have already written! They are just for fun, and will contain only that specific scene, and not a complete story line. Much like Ask SAJMRA, I will take submissions for Skript ideas! I'm excited for this :) Stay awesome <3
