Especially now?!?! I gasped. We’re in the labyrinth now, with no choice but to keep following the twists and turns until we emerge back into the light. This image is another perfect description of the creative process: “It must have been like the line was there all along, hidden beneath the white surface, and the tip of her pen was just summoning it into the visible world for others to see.” 👏
I was sure I Liked and commented this chapter last week already ... this is odd!
Anyway... again: Great chapter, Ben! So many great lines, but I guess like everyone else in the comments, I have to say "Especially now"!??? What a way to end the chapter!
This part about bringing art from the unseen into the material world gave me goose bumps:

Thank you, Julie. We have indeed entered the labyrinth.
Yeh, that line grabbed me too! What future circumstances inspire the narrator to make that claim!?
Next week’s chapter is one I’m very proud of. The first big turn is coming.
Finally getting back to reading. What a great chapter, Ben! Unravelling the mysteries of the process and some metafiction. Quite suspenseful too!
Thanks so much, Kate. Glad you’re enjoying the story.

Who is this narrator? :)
It’s nagging not to know, right!? Thanks for reading Sara!

Thank you, Rose. 🙏
Holy smokes, it's been a long day. Delighted to have made it here.
And ESPECIALLY NOW!
Brilliant.
You made my day, Holly. I was just having one of those, why am I doing thing kind of days. Thank you. 🙏
