#syrup died before the events of tenesoir memoirs so she doesn't appear directly in the book (only in flashbacks and other memories)

one thing I will miss about Twitter is its character limit

280 characters was basically the perfect length to storyboard out the dialogue for little 2000s webcomic sorts of scenarios for my OCs, which is something I did frequently to both introduce the characters and to brainstorm new facets of their personalities

it was a writing exercise for me to sort of brainstorm what my OCs are like and what they might be doing in between chapters of my books, but it was also just enough room for me to establish a scene, set up a joke, and deliver a punchline (provided you already know who, say, Lyla is)

I’m usually a verbose and over-explaining sort of person, which is fine by me, but that character limit had me thinking in a whole new way
