Because I admire you, enjoy your writing, and assuming this piece is reflective of who you really are, Kiki, why explain who you are, rather than have your writing allow you to be without explanation? Is the story better for the prior explanation? Or might the story suffice to show who hides in the writing?
Harry -- This is a really good note, thank you! The purpose of these is for them to be fictional monologues, although you're right--most of them are based in reality. Some from my personal reality, and some from my perception of other people from throughout my life. That said, I think you're right. I believe this would be stronger without explaining that she's an introvert up front and instead have the writing show who she is. Thank you!
