And it is true that we need to know what your protagonist's life looks like before the big change.

This is true.

But that doesn't mean that any scene before the change fits the bill and delivers the promise that we need.

And in this case, it, in my opinion, doesn't because it's a little too mundane, a little too on the nose.

literally the first two paragraphs and you guys know i'm a fan of interiority but it's essentially her going through her situation you know like she's in debt she has nothing to show for her life jordan is her stable boyfriend he she makes a lot more money than than he does she loves to say that whenever they fight he does more things around the house they're a modern couple she needs time to post on tiktok she aims to post three times a day even though her

Views aren't getting, like, this is all like two paragraphs.

So my definition of interiority, and this is where it depends on the jargon you use, is access to your protagonist's psyche as they process information in an interesting way.

So anything that's not neutral, like you walk into a room and you go, there is a green couch, that's not interiority.

A CCTV camera could capture that.

But if you say it's an ugly green couch, that's an opinion.

Therefore, it's interiority.

So I agree with you that a lot of people wouldn't consider this.

It's like a CC thing.

It's exposition, but interiority can be exposition.

Interiority can also not be.

Does that answer your question?

The interesting part, no.

It is access to her psyche as she processes information.

Yeah.

But it's not doing the interesting part.
