“It will be fun,” they said, “it’s such a fresh idea!”
Four thousand seven hundred miles apart, with a six-hour difference in time zones.

Exchanges of random historical and academic documents while researching obscure Scots history and mythology.
(NB: this includes Ruthann trying to understand Natasha, and her native slang, under these circumstances)
Time-sucking photo searches, mood boards, and inspirations based solely on imaginations.
Creating original atmosphere, unique characters, and settings from the ground up.
Commiserating on the effects of Covid, as we manage to contract the virus simultaneously.
Building a foundation, then laying down roots and bones of a story that’s taking on a life of its’ own.
Brazen I tell you…Brazen.
