Wonderful bts! I love to hear what sparks peopleβs creativity and about their writing process. I havenβt read your story yet but will be traveling later today and will dive into the stories then. Meanwhile, I wrote a story from the POV of a maple tree last year. And a post about that process. π Maybe our two stories will find their way into an anthology of tree-POV stories.
The em dash was a brilliant tool for setting the tree apart.
Thanks to Joe Wilkins for opening this as a possibility for me!
