i have tried and tried to write about the processes that i have gone through in the last month over the fictional journey entry for June..... i have written and edited.. erased and started again so many times that i have totally lost the train of thought i had......it was so clear before.. honest it was..........
But the words won't flow....... not properly... i hear my mom whispering in my ear "me thinks she protests too much"...... and so for today.. i will not rationalize the writing of the story.. i will also not allow anyone to manipulate the story.. either to push my buttons to get me to continue it...... or to push the direction of the story ..........
Funny thing is.... i am still adjusting to the writing of that story.. of the writing of something so foreign to my nature....... i am not sure folks if there is a sequel in me.. for now.. it is what it is.. a task set down by Sir.. a task completed.... nothing more .. nothing less.
I fail to see why you feel either troubled or the need to explain either yourself or the story. It was a well written, good read.
ReplyDeleteI was uncomfortable with the humiliation aspect of it, but that is borne of my being the object of humiliation when I was a fat little kid and enduring the taunts of my peers. Humiliation, recounted in any genre, makes me uncomfortable.
A reader's reaction, again regardless of the genre, his on him or her.
I agree with buffalo it was an excellent story and should not be be-laboured more than it was fictional. So you should not either. remember we are not supposed to be witting to please others just ourselves are we not.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with Buffalo.
ReplyDeleteYes, I said I would love to read more, but I understand that sometimes, THAT is all there is.
Of course, my want for more was truly because YOU wrote a damn fine story!
thank you blazngfyre and buffalo... and cloud...
ReplyDeletei just have to say.. one quick thing... the story this time unnerved me ( i guess that is the best way of putting it) .. i couldn't figure out where that darkness came from .. like opening Pandora's box and being shocked at what came out..
but i am better today..and even have a thread of an idea.. a faint glimmer of an idea for part 2.. so who knows.. (cheeky grin)..
