This is an actual note I made on my outline

@the-platypus-writes

@emeralddodge i was honestly so sure one of them would end up dead at the end of Sentinel

One of the main team actually was slated to die, but I’m not telling you which one.

And I’m also not going to tell you what I did instead in Mercury.

Yeah I could have sworn you said one of the main five was going to die and I spent the whole time I was reading Sentinel wondering who it was and then none of them died. I need Mercury… October, right?

For a long time, up until I was about halfway through Sentinel, I’d planned a specific death, but changed my mind. That’s all I’m going to say. It doesn’t mean there won’t be deaths, but that particular character was saved.

PART 1 when i read sentinel, i felt really sad and depressed and angry, almost to the point where i felt like crying. and it wasn’t because anything was wrong with my life; it’s just that you wrote so well that i empathised with your characters so strongly. one other author besides you has managed to do that to me and that’s melina marchetta, so i’d say you’re in good company :)

PART 2 and i really appreciated how jill called marco out because what he kept saying to her was SO NOT COOL. and ember is my new fave now (along jill ofc). looking forward to mercury!!

Oh my goodness, I’m so flattered! I can count on one hand the authors that make me feel something along with the characters, so thank you so much!
