To be fair, changing your mind about where a story’s going based on reader predictions isn’t always bad. Sure, it’s not great if you’re all “oh, no, they figured it out, now I have to change everything because my readers aren’t allowed to be cleverer than me” – but on the other hand, sometimes a reader will be like “okay, here’s the dumbest possible way I can imagine this playing out”, and then their dumbest possible prediction is exactly what you’re planning, and you realise that yeah, now that you’ve seen it laid out by someone who isn’t the voice in your head, that’s actually super dumb.

someone remind me after work today to write up an obnoxious essay about the invisibility of “recovery” and the special kind of isolation you have once you’re considered “recovered” and how painful it is to be met with contempt and assumed to know nothing because you dare to look at life positively and have grown as a person past being a receptacle for trauma <3
