Status Updates From The Dream-Quest of Vellitt Boe

Were these people born in the dream world? How does this exist? Am confused. Will hopefully sort it out eventually.

Not particularly a fan of the tell don't show aspect of this. It's reading like one long list of things done on a journey rather than taking the reader on an emotional journey itself. It would be better in first person so we could feel what the MC was feeling first hand, as everything feels like a letter being written by someone who was vaguely told about the MC's quest from someone else.

This is not what I expected, but I am enjoying it. I like that it follows an older woman, a much underrepresented character type, especially in journey tales.
More importantly, I should have realized it was an homage to Lovecraft and MAYBE have read his Dream-Quest first? 🤷🏻‍♀️
