My friend like the rest of you reading on here has followed mi from the begining and says she liked it but the otehr day she asked me somthing.
Is it all to much? Did i have to be so graphic and could i of left out the flash back seens. The chapter she was refuring to was when Mi was describing to Esmee when she started to cut, why she did it and how. It felt strange to me out of all of the graphic chapters in my story this is the one she would pick up because i beleave there have bee worse.
This chapter was basicly a page on one of my old journals that was reworded and edited to fit, so in short this was my story and i have never considered it to much.
So i was wondering what you all thought. Iknow you all enjoy this because you wouldn't of followed me over here after it was deleated off fo RYL. (with out any PM from the mods telling me that they had done so. but that is just my own private grumble) Any way to the point though. do other people think that this is all to much. Should i try and fial it all down a bit? Make it all a little sweeter and less real?
Ahh any way private podering over on with the story.
I like it the way it is- I cant picture it any other way.
ReplyDeleteIn a way by having the flash backs, it helps the story go forward- by Mi flashing back, its a form of healing in a way- well from what I understand.
sweetness factor- I dont read it for a nice cuddly read, If i wanted that I could go to the library and pick up the princess diaries or something (first book that came to mind btw)
Real is good, yeah sometimes I get triggered- but you put suitable warnings in place. And its the character of the story.
and final point- they removed it off RYL? D: I haddnt finished copying to my computer! stupid exams stopping me keep up with things.
Sorry they didnt tell you first. Did you get all of the previous postings?
I have all the old chapters on my computer i am going through them and putting them all in one place but it is taking a log tiem. Once done every one will have it E-mailed to them
ReplyDeleteThe story is missing from RYL so i assume that means they have deleated it. though i thought the sent a PM and told you if they had done that but i receaved nothing.
I like it soo much as it is!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering why they had just suddenly deleted it
Can't wait for a copy, I love this so much as you know. Please don't make it less real, I think that's one of the most unique and amazing things about this story, it's so real. You don't get that in a lot of books- especially not about hushed up topics like self harm.
ReplyDeleteI think Ettie pretty well covered my thoughts, sure I get triggered occasionally...but I still think it helps me heal along with Mi.
i am glad you dont sweeten it, for me i have trouble with wanting to cut but i usually manage not to, things like this that help me see the real side, not the glamorised side, of SH helps me not too :)
ReplyDeleteThis story makes me feel like I have already cut, so it stops me from doing it for real. Thanks Vikki!
