thanks ashi.... like i told you. i'm unsure about the end. but i'm so glad you enjoyed it!
And thanks for the birthday wish! I'm 20 now, not a teen not yet an adult. in-between.
I'm fine though! hahahaha I expected this, that people will think I'm severely depressed or damaged because of the things I write....
Thank you for the review!
I like your idea of Brandon moving backwards... It sounds so poetic and beautiful! And life is often full of these unexpected horrors. I thoroughly enjoyed writing this story and I'm glad you enjoyed reading it.
Thank you!
thank you aditus. I'm glad that the transitions helped in translating the emotions of brandon to the reader.
And if you do get a chance to take a look at my other work, I would gladly appreciate any reviews/pointers/feedback you have
Thanks!
thanks sasha! sometimes we all need to acknowledge we're not okay. besides it's complete bullshit to be happy all the time. that's not mental health, that's crap
Thank you for the review
Thank you so much for the great review. I'm glad you enjoyed it so much!
Jared. I actually stole his name from my friend. Oh the woes of being a writer's friend. His story could very possibly take up an entire narrative of its own. So...
Thank you for reading!
Feels just like a dream when I read it, like a fluffy cloud of hope. And ancient greek mythology is so awesome so I loved the incorporation of the original myth! Lucky for me, I'm going to minor in Classical Studies.
Great story.
I can only say that I'm blessed and privileged not to have experienced the horrors that my characters have. After reading all my work though, you might tell me to consult a therapist. Thanks for the review AJ
Thank you Lisa! The past/present technique was something I was trying out when I started this story so I'm glad you enjoyed it. I thought it was a suitable medium for this story.
Aaron is probably one of my favourite characters I've written. His genuineness is just so endearing.
And Kat, is basically a tribute to my friends, who have put up with a lot of my bullshit. so thank you for noticing the friend that quietly sits there helping us pick up the broken pieces of ourselves without judgement when we break ourselves!
i sympathise with all the victims and survivors of abuse. it's horrifying and i can only imagine the cathartic state it puts you in. sometimes it has to get worse to get better i guess. i'm glad you enjoyed the transitions! thank you so much for the great review!
i'm so happy you appreciate it. i loved that line so much. one of my fave lines in the story i think and it's only in the prologue that i found the place for it.
Thank you Cia! It was great fun to write it. I was a tiny bit worried that the readers might get turned off by brandon's flatness and blinking. and i'll keep the tip in mind!
i'm glad you could connect with brandon. he does have issues though. i don't know if he's past it though. he's made some progress but i'm sure there's still a long way to go. thanks so much for the great review!
thankyou joann! i'm glad i found a way to deal with the transitions. it's been a while since i read this though. so it's kind of strange for me to come back and revisit this story.
i don't know whether to be sad or glad you could relate to it.
thanks for the great review!
