abuseYour last paragraph is just gorgeous. I'm glad you didn't end with anything final but spoke of the continuing learning process.

You have a beautiful writing style, one that I can see has evolved from your Sailor Moon days to this essay (and Chained, which I've yet to review). I've always been a fan of your stories, with their wonderful adventurous romantic plots, and your writing, always solid to begin with, has improved even more through the years.

This was beautifully recounted. :)

abuseI like this story, because each writer has that moment without readers who devote themselves to the story. You caught the feeling of the destruction it causes in ones heart well, and this story reminds me of what J.K. Rowling had to go through until she finally got Harry Potter recognized, which makes me realize there's hope for all writers. (Yes, I'm a big Harry Potter fan, sorry, I had to put it in there.)You're a great writer!Confused Yellow Stallion

abuseI loved this memoir.Designate me the unusual reader/reviewer, but I read your profile as well.There was one line that stood out at me, that screamed at me like a sirene wailing in the stillness of night."I will fall in love one day and forget the world. And I will have my heart broken, because it is too weak."

It's a beautiful, innocent turn of phrase, profound. Yet you have it a little wrong. See, one's heart is broken not when it is weak, but when one has an unfathomable amount of love to give, and it is denied. Hearts do not break because they are weak. When one's heart is weak, they feel little pain at all ... it is when one's heart is large and strong and willing to give, and give, and continue to give despite treachery and disillusionment, that one feels most intensely the pain of heartache. And heartbreak.If your writings are anything akin to your memoir and your rambling intro, I know I will love you! :)Just wanted to share.
