CathyTea's answers
1) Ron is at his wit's end with Connor. He doesn't understand the shift in his friend's personality from the person he knows. I wouldn't call it abusive, more him not understanding. I've discussed the reasons for Connor's attitude with someone before but I'll explain now.
2) Dani is one of my favourite characters because they're probably one of the characters I've thought the most about. I've thought a lot about them all (I still need to find a way to show everything I know) but Dani is the one I know the most history about. A rough entire story of their life. (Which I'm actually going to show later because I want to.)
As for Claire, she keeps some of her feelings to herself. Mostly all the negative ones. I'm not entirely sure why yet as its something I need to figure out about her. (There's things even I don't know about them)
3) Connor and Dani (or as I've nicknamed them Cani to simplify it) are best friends before they're partners. Which is true to their history. They met when they were kids and it was Connor's birthday but also Dani's so he shared his class party with them because no one remembered it was also Dani's.
I think Ron and Claire's relationship is complicated. Ron is very open with his emotions while Claire tends not to share. Not because of Ron as its always been a part of her since before she met him. So, Ron doesn't really know anything is ever going on with her until its pointed out because she hides it well.
Although, thanks for pointing out how you think Claire feels suffocated because I think I need to re-evaluate Claire's story once I finish the current part of it. Mainly because that's not the intent of what I'm trying to show.
The two options most people would have, she didn't think she had. She was raised catholic (and still is) and so she couldn't bring herself to go with one option (you can guess what I'm talking about) and she's with Ron so giving up the baby to someone else also wasn't an option. So she felt backed into a corner with no option but to have the baby she didn't want in the first place.
As for questions for me:
How far out have you planned the story?
I have planned vaguely until the end. More nearer the end and now I'm filling in the middle.
Do you have a definite ending in mind?
I have an idea of when I want to end it but this is going to be a long one.
What issues and themes are you aware of exploring as you write this?
I haven't quite decided exactly what but I have plans and so I won't reveal those because they'll be important later on.
What do you feel most rewarding about writing this story?
I get to share the characters who have come to life in my mind. There's other stuff but I've been typing this for what feels like an hour now.

I have read your pictureless works and there are still great. Do what makes your story feel like it's being told best.
