Searching for the second line's first word. All my choices create mixed metaphor, but though I tend to work my best in mixed metaphors.
Some other words suggested: planted (orginial), grounded....
Mixed metaphor referring to "Her life was run on oil..." in first line machine runs by oil. Life being a machine or machination of synchronicity to second line her life is grounded or planted. I want something the opposite of running on smooth oil even if it's chaos (synchronicity) Something that complicates the smooth chaos of her tossled life.
Ideas? Does it read that? I like this newest word,seduced, but it still doesn't imply a the lack of choice in her pell mell world.
Speaking of Pell mell, I vividly remember being taught that word in school. Thinking what a cool word. Why is she making such a big deal over it, lol. It was probably the first word I recognized that described an underlying current.
I doubt I every spell it right.
new word is thought: chained,complicated (duh too obvious)
