Week Twelve: reflection
These final two chapters, I am both proud of and disappointed by.
I am happy with the way I tied everything back together, and that I showed how they had to work through things before they could start a healthy relationship. I didn't want them to spend all that time apart and then act like it never happened, as time apart in that situation does a lot of damage. I wanted them to have to work through those problems and then work on their relationship. I feel like I touched on this, however I don't think I went into it enough.
Another thing I was disappointed in was the way I wrote the fight scene. I wanted them to cut deep into each other and pick each other apart, however I feel that I maybe didn't develop them enough to be able to do this enough. All I could draw on was Alex's inability to get out of his own head and Mark's inability to communicate. In my second draft I will be looking for things to draw from in regards to this scene, as it is an important one in terms of building up to the breaking point.
I am very happy with the resolution. I like how I drew parallels to the scene that broke them apart and used it to bring them back together again. I also liked the idea of domesticity that I created by describing their habits that they shared as a couple. Even if after the story ends they don't stay together forever, I'm happy that they got to have this pocket of happiness together.
