for the most part, i had the order pretty set, but things have moved around a bit for sure! i knew i wanted to start it in 2025 and then immediately go back to 2017 and go more or less chronologically from there, with snapshots of the "future" woven in. i felt like it was important for me to start chapters with a look at what's to come, and then fill in how they got there. i've had a notes file going since i started planning writing it, with the overall framework and the events that take place - it's helped me keep track, especially when i've moved things and can see the overall flow from a distance.

the last chapter has moved pieces around a lot! there's something i've been playing with that i'm hoping will hit home by the end. i really hope you enjoy it 💙 this was a really great question, thank you!!
