@mommysgoodgirl___ Thank you for sharing your thoughts! The lack of dialogue in the earlier chapters is intentional, as the focus is on Blake’s internal struggles and her isolation from the people around her. She’s not in a place where she has meaningful connections or conversations, and the narrative reflects her loneliness and emotional state. As the story progresses, and more characters enter her life, dialogue will naturally become more prominent. Additionally, the story will shift back and forth between first-person and third-person perspectives, allowing us to delve deeply into Blake’s personal experience while also exploring the broader dynamics and relationships with others. For now, the quieter tone and perspective choice are meant to immerse readers in Blake’s world and give insight into her character’s journey.
