Behind the scenes: Day 19 Section 1 (writing)
🕑 Added 2020-06-17 19:27:07 +0000 UTCEarly preview of the writing for day 19 section 1.
The section focuses on Juliet.
It begins with Brandon still having the recent events stuck in his head about Heather, knowing he can't just go speak with Heather any further about the events without prying too far for details that she isn't willing to share right now. He instead decides to track down Juliet who he finds is hiding out at the gymnastic club practicing, which we learn is helpful for her to relax and ease her recent thoughts about the matter.
He begins to ask if she's okay and try bringing up the recent events without sounding like he's only interested in those and not her personal feelings about everything. He doesn't end up learning a lot, as sadly Juliet was only 5-6 years old during the events that seem to have taken place in their past together before the split of their parents.
There is some details that he learns and pieces together with Heather's side of things to get a little vague idea, but he promises to help the two girls learn to slowly become sisters once again and not let the recent news ruin what relationship they had before it.
The section ends with Brandon getting a text from his buddy Nathan about something that sounds pretty urgent to meet up with him.
-Writer notes-
-This section is much like day 18's section focused on Heather, word count is about 1700+ and it offers some more insight into their relationship together and how she sees things from her point of view about the events of day 17.
-It was a pretty hard section to write about without it trying to sound too similar to Heather's in the terms of details, plus having to cut back on information. Not because I need to, but from Juliet's side of the story. She's the younger sister of the two by quite a few years, making her pretty young when some major events happened in their past when they were all together still.
-Oddly enough I was actually going to make this section something completely different originally, but it just didn't feel right for the mood in days 18 & 19 with recent events. The general idea originally would've been a event where due to the recent festival days, it would seem a teacher left one of the bathrooms unlocked. Brandon taking notice of the door creaked open and choices to see who was in there, etc. It's something that could still pop up in the future, just that it didn't feel right in overall pacing of story events to introduce Heather's side of things and not fit Juliet in here about her side of everything going on from day 17's events.
