 ConfectusPapilio 2005-07-19 . chapter 1Is this a multi-part story or a chapter one? Seems like room to develop, but, also has a complete nature to it (except for the hair thing which pulls along a bit)
Nice story though, though lots of it is 'show not tell', (I know, tis annoying, isn't it?) All the same, I think this could have a much stronger dramatic touch if the past events were shown through scenes, flashbacks, or at least conversations. Thats really my ownly suggestion, but I think it would aid this story a bit.
Nice job, I look foward to more.Khenna |
 Ballerina with a Gun 2005-07-18 . chapter 1Why do you always write sad stories?? No happy weddings or pink bunnies? But I'm not complaining...even if it is good...
One complaint: I think the way you worded it was confusing. All I know was that Jack died...he was murdered I suppose. You lacked a detailed and vividly clear picture on the first scene.
Nevertheless, I love this story already. You always seem to make characters very alive, very real.
I can't help but wonder...and this is strictly psychiatric...do you write stories involving dead loved ones because you have a deep, inner - maybe even unconscious - fear that your husband might die one day and leave you alone, grief-stricken and floundering?
I think your strongest point is the emotion you clearly emit. The raw agony, the aching loss, really gets to me.
Keep writing - I look forward to the next update! |
