This is a crazy, beautiful sentence. I didn’t like it at first, but it’s growing on me. I’ve never heard of correlative conjunctions but I think I have been using them anyway, or am I imagining this?

What do you make of the two "which"s? I tend to avoid that kind of repetition in my writing. I'd probably substitute the first which with that if I this were my own sentence.

I LOVE this sentence. Just the other day in my WIP I wrote something structurally similar, a base idea, with a series of relative clauses that stretched the sentence to a monster 51 words. I don't do that often, but it's fun when it comes together organically.

Also, congrats on your book sale! I'm in! Please provide the pre-order link when it becomes available.
