I would "grab a tailwind" from my WIP, which is like flying but pretty hazardous. I'd make sure I had a parachute in handy just in case, no plane required, or airfare, or TSA! I would go visit my family, aaand probably break something on the way down... Q: Would you ride a dragon bareback, or...

Nice to meet you, sleepwriter, welcome to the gang!

Welcome! Welcome! Nice to meet you Anthony! I too am a fan of the grittier grit, happy to have another dark horseman here on the forums! As others have said, don't be shy! Jump into the fray!

For me, character development is just as important as the story. Characters are what make the story interesting, they breathe life into it...Sub-plots are great, if you can tie them to the main plot. Yes, I do prefer stories like this. My own WIP has weak/damaged characters facing trials and...
