Sylvara & DaliaMire

I always find myself tightening the script to a fine point, but your work with the forest feels like an open, breathing poem. How do you keep the deeper meaning from slipping away when you let the trees and animals guide the story?
Sylvara
It’s a quiet listening, not a forced telling. I sit with the forest, feel the wind in the leaves and hear the animals’ rhythms, and let those sounds shape the tale. When I write, I pause whenever something feels too tight or too vague, and ask the forest if it can show me a better way. The deeper meaning stays because it’s not being pushed, it’s being coaxed out. Keep your heart open, let the trees whisper, and the story will breathe.

That’s… elegant, really. Still, even the quietest forest can be a little too soft. Do you set any hard boundaries, like a cue card, to keep the story from slipping into vague reverie?

I plant a few small markers in my mind— a quiet drumbeat, a line of fireflies in the sky, a ripple in a pond—those are the cue cards. They’re not hard walls, just gentle reminders to keep the story moving while still listening to the forest’s voice. If I feel the narrative drifting, I whisper a prompt back to the trees and let them guide me forward again.

Sounds disciplined, like a rehearsal plan. Keep the markers close, and never let the forest’s voice turn into a solo performance. And remember, a cue card is only as good as the timing you set with it.
