Ay I just skipped through the early chapters of Cocoa and Vanilla and I gotta say....y’all are some troopers bc they are a whole trainwreck. There’s a whole bunch of one liners my younger self thought were witty and funny, a whole bunch of throw away info that I never touched back on, good lord, the interactions between the characters are a whole conversation in itself, and I was still using “——“ to transition scenes???? I mean I like how you can slowly see my writing morph and improve throughout the story but mannnn
