#WordWeavers 2404.26 — In your story, who’s hiding (literally or metaphorically?)
In one story, the MC spent the entire story hiding her identity. As a runaway, she feared being found and carted back to fulfill a role she felt unearned and onerous. Identified as who she was, she'd cease to be judged on her merits but on her station in life; she'd cease to exist because being praised for her real accomplishments is the only thing that gives her pure joy. Only once does she confess, gambling everything to win over a teacher she really needs. I won't say how that works out!
