Powerful scene building, Katharine! You wrote the birth beautifully and didn't spare us the dangers and unknowns of the time. Wonderful writing. Thank you.
Wonderful! You made a scene of rearing a child flow so wonderfully like it was easy to write, when I know it is not. I sunk when she took notice to a shadow in the corner and I teared up when encouraging Dafni to 'push her baby out now!' and I enjoyed the lonely walk home in the morning too. It was nice. It was a good chapter Katherine.
Thank you so much! This was actually based pretty closely on one of my daughters’ births (except there was no goddess present, just an awesome consultant called Dr Varras who I will never forget!) So, easy to write in one way, I guess … I’m glad you liked the last part. I’m very nervous about those introspective moments - I think dialogue is my strong point, and I’m worried about waffling on in the reflective parts of the story, or stating the obvious to the reader too much.
No , it was good! If you dont write, I wont imagine it. For her to walk home and in a quiet world where no one and nothing interacted with her, a moment of calm after an eventful night- 🤌 it was so good.
