There are certain tropes, or scene types or concepts that have been done a million times, and will be done a million times more.

Watching a Hank Green video about the word 'chai' over my morning coffee, and I immediately spiral out to thoughts about SVO, fantasy, conlang, and how to write characters with a language gap. Ask me how to know when storytelling becomes an instinct.
I really like writing a character who doesn't understand something. Or doesn't have the words to describe a thing.
Is this whole scene worded strangely? That's not me writing awkwardly, that's writing in-character. Yes. That's it. That's what's going on.
I don't know if it's worrying or a good sign that I'm resorting to consult, read and quote the Bard himself for the next chapter of We're classically-trained Shakespearean actors, you idiot!

Rereading my own drafts as a cure for the dregs of a stomach flu.
