Is your MC good at relationships in general?
No. Not really.
She had a very good, loving relationship with her mother. Her father died when she was very little, so her mom raised her on her own.
But her mom died when she was ten. And then four years bouncing around the foster system, mostly with pretty crappy foster families got her a bit jaded on relationships with others.
Her aunt and uncle took her in when she was fourteen. They were nice, but she never really got close to them.
When she got her dog when she was fifteen, that became the first relationship she'd really had since her mother's death.
A lot of the story is about her learning to build relationships with others, and overcoming her fear of getting close to people.
Is your MC good at romantic relationships?
It's not really a thing she's ever prioritized in her life. She's been on a few dates, but she's never really had a boy- or girlfriend.
She's always had other things in her life that were more important to her.
I need the Internet to settle an argument.

One benefit of working remotely:
I had a meeting this afternoon with my boss and the CTO. Right before the meeting started, I opened up a soda, that sprayed everywhere, but mostly on my pants.
Since the meeting was just on video chat, I was able to just remove my pants, and nobody noticed.

When you see trouble on the road ahead, you may falter, you may lose heart. But take a moment to look at the road you've taken so far, at all the other times of trouble you have left in the distance. You will face the challenge before you, and soon it too will be behind you, fading into the distance.
Dan Jones shared 2 years agoA true warrior may roar and laugh in the face of a challenge, but inside harbor doubts and fears. Sometimes you must act brave until you become brave, even if you never truly feel brave. There is no shame in this, for true courage, and true glory, is about overcoming.

Leonard Nimoy & Nichelle Nichols striking in support of #WGA, May 14, 1981.
Pictures via https://nitter.qwik.space/hesbianspock/status/1653567947258953728#m Hesbianspock. Comments also note #ReneAuberjonois supported the 2007 strikes in kind.
Caption
A bearded Leonard Nimoy with a 1981 style haircut holding a sign on his left shoulder, right index finger up and pointing to our left. He's wearing a light blue shirt and a grey, patterned, sweater vest over it. His sign says SAG AFL-CIO or CIC and the text ACTORS SUPPORT partially blocked, THE WRITERS GUILD at the bottom behind his head. Another sign like his is carried by someone behind him, and a THE WRITERS GUILD STRIKE text is written on a third sign.
Caption
Here Nimoy is at the bottom right corner while the sign is in the middle. He has a big grinning smile. Text was: SAG AFL-CIO ACTORS SUPPORT THE WRITERS GUILD with a stylized drawing of a lightning that has the nib or 'quill' of a pen at the end.
Caption
A white haired Nichelle Nichols looking into the distance out of the picture, to our right. She looks very stylish with a black jacket and a blue paisley (?) silk scarf and great earrings. Given the hair colour, this may be from 2007 instead of 1981 as claimed at the source. She has one of the signs or placards but the text cannot be seen due to the angle. Another white sign like it in the back reads: SCREEN ACTORS GUILD SUPPORTS WGA ACTING TOGETHER FOR A BETTER (text obscured). 4 other protesters carry red & black signs with WRITERS GUILD OF AMERICA ON STRIKE texts. The Paramount Pictures gate is seen behind them.
Caption
A black and white picture of Nimoy from the first event, with his sign and another picketer's both visible. The text is now THE WRITERS GUILD STRIKES. A stylized, jagged lightning drawing strikes down with the same pen nib at the end, with a drop of ink below it. He has his arms folded in front of him while he talks to a blonde woman protestor we only see from the back & side, her right hand up on her hip. Background has a BUS station sign + a gas station or something on the other side of a road, one car coming into the picture from the right.

Photography. A color film shot of a gnarled tree with green fern-like leaves, on a beach in Maui. The tree stands just before the blue water and has grown completely crooked due to the wind. Its roots are above the sand and it looks like it is running hurriedly to the sea.

Dan Jones shared 2 years ago@fribbledom I got a bunch of floppy disks from my grandpa recently. Had some family history files on a few of them that I wanted.
Plugged in the external floppy drive, inserted the disk. No problem at all. Disk is automatically mounted, just as I’d expect. I can open the files no problem.
Crazy that a floppy drive still works exactly as you’d exptect it to when who knows how long anybody has needed to use a floppy disk.

What does your MC look like?
The second picture is an AI-generated photo that's pretty close to how she looks.
In my mind, she mostly looks like my wife (third picture), with a bit of Marvel's Ironheart, Riri Williams (first picture).

Dan Jones shared 2 years agoMuch of my job is basically algebra.
I occasionally have to do some geometry or trigonometry.
One day for work, I spent about an hour or so figuring out how to determine the sunrise and sunset time for any location on the globe on any particular day. Lots of math there.
No problem with any of that.
But today I was having trouble counting to four.
Apparently I need some help from Sesame Street.

Post Malone answers question on Quora, "How do people come up with a rap name?": "If you have a smart brain, you can use that to think of names that work. Think of something you think is cool, and then make it cool to other people."
Dan Jones shared 2 years agoFear is natural. It is the product of millions of years of evolution that helped our ancestors survive. To face fear, to conquer it, is to assert our agency over an unthinking, unfeeling process. Cherish this ability, for it makes us special in the universe, and glorious.
If your opening scene had a theme song, what would it be?
The first three lines are actually the lyrics to Stand By Me.
Our hero's mother sang it to her as a child, and it comforts her when she's worried.
It's particularly appropriate because much of the theme of the story is about standing by your family, whether that family is biological, your found/chosen family, or your time clones.
