Ambiguity is when something has multiple meanings at the same time. It’s not either/or, its and/with.
Ambiguity is present in almost all great art. It’s deeply satisfying, and an acknowledgement of the real world we live in where so rarely we get a definitive yes or no answer on anything.
I got my pages done today. I’m feeling burnout. At least I did today. Tomorrow, hopefully, I’ll be back in the groove, but we’ll see. It’s the “easy push” I need. Less trudging through, and more just going with the flow. It’s hard, because the words need to get done. But that’s the business. That’s what makes it all hard. It has to be both “done” and “enjoyed.” I know at least part of it was a challenging POV. A lot of the POVs in this book are challenging because I haven’t written them before. New characters, or at least new POVs. I have to fill them with words, thoughts and feelings, you know? Not just their actions from the outside. It’s fun…but it’s also work. Ambiguity, right there. Boom.
On that note, I’m out. Night night.
