If someone sat down and watched everything you’ve written back-to-back, what pattern do you think they’d notice?
Are you telling the same story in different ways?
Same themes, same character types, same conflicts?
I’m starting to realize I might be doing that more than I thought.

They would see me. The more you write, the more visible you become, irrespective of what you write and my stuff is quite diverse.

I think they’d definitely notice my growth from high school to college to university and finally now, as well as the fact that my writing flows much better when it’s surreal. They’d notice I have a “type” when it comes to characters, that there’s several key things missing that are ubiquitous elsewhere (for example lack of geographical location and dearth of external conflict). That I like to spend the first half being sorta lost in the world and then locking in about halfway through so the climax is clear. That I like to be stuck in the past and ignore reality as best I can.
So basically said reader would be confused as all hell lmao

Someone trying to become, or hold onto, who they think they are, while time or circumstance quietly proves they don’t have full control over that.
That tension keeps showing up whether I plan it or not.

Woody Allen is a master at essentially putting the same characters and themes in different movies. It doesn't always work, but when the right characters meet the right concept, magic can happen again and again. He proved it.
