    Chapter 17

    Thank you!! And I'm so glad you're noticing this shift in Jesse. He's fortunately changing things around and being the friend Stefan and Devan need him to be. Hopefully his drinking doesn't bite him in the back later. He has a bit of healing to do :/. I'm glad you enjoyed :D!

    Chapter 16

    Thank you! Dialogue can be really difficult to write, so I love to hear when I've done it well :). It's been great telling a story about three different characters battling against the odds and working together to get through their issues. Thanks so much for your comments !

    Haha, this chapter has much more jam-packed in there than most! It's good to know the events I've written have left an impression on you. I hope that's a good thing at least!

    Chapter 18

    From getting Jesse a place to live to supporting Stefan through his break-up, Devan was stretched thin. He needed some time away from James Street. This would lead him to make an unexpected call to his Aunt Gladys and Uncle Charles. When Aunt Gladys answered, she had been surprised to hear from him, having not spoken to Devan since his brother’s funeral. But, she took no time in saying, “I would love to have you over, dear.” So Devan took his car and he headed down south. Devan’s last visit
  7. No! My heart hurts when I hear of other authors who've lost stories they've written in the past :(. I'm sorry to hear that happened to you. I would like to have a digital copy of them. I've been carrying this box around for seven years now. If I lost them, I don't know what I'd do. I love what you said in your last sentence: a deeper explanation and not so much a recreation. Like fleshing out the story with my current abilities? I think this would be a helpful way to approach it, that way I'm not making the story into something that it wasn't (or worse, making it into a story I no longer enjoy). Thank you for your advice Comicality :).
  8. What an interesting mind you had ! I will check those out, thank you for your examples! And you're right about the interesting ideas you think up when you're a teen. I may have to do a bit of editing to take away some of the more...vivid imagery I had written back then .
  9. Hey all, Have any of you written a story in the past that you wanted to redo/recreate? I have a box full of old novels I wrote back when I was in elementary and middle school. I had great ideas, dabbling into sc-fi, medieval, even paranormal, but they were written from a child/teenage perspective. I thought of trying to re-create them and make them for a more of an adult and YA audience. Has anyone had any experience with this and can give me pointers on where to begin? Story examples? Let me know! Your assistance is appreciated ^_^. Bryant

    Chapter 17

    The air was cool. Tranquil. The sky was at its clearest with the sun bearing down with great intensity. Stefan welcomed the coolness and sun that refused to be hidden behind clouds. It gave him some courage to proceed with his plan: he wanted to see Chris, one-on-one. Stefan worried for his friend’s safety. He believed bringing Devan and Jesse along would agitate Chris. But Stefan pondered if he was trying to prove a point: He didn’t want to appear cowardly. He’s lived with this man for som

    Chapter 15

    Stefan's free! The moment we've been waiting for. And fortunately, he has Devan to stay with :). Mmhmm, Jesse lost someone pretty good. Though you've already read the chapter, Jesse starts to realize just how much he's given up.

    Chapter 14

    Yeah! It's a great start. I think Jesse's insight on domestic violence and relationships will be of great assistance to Stefan at some point, though you're right, he may not be much help right now. Devan is giving Jesse much needed tough love!
  16. Your words make me feel warm :). Thank you for believing in me and writing those kind words about my writing. Your encouragement helps me get through !!
  17. That really means a lot. It's nice to put into words what I've been experiencing and I'm happy that I have others to share it with. Thanks for keeping me motivated :).
  18. I’m running around in circles Trying not to give in I fear you’ve got the best of me I fear that you will win My body reduced to empty A result of your theft Yet it is weighed down heavily From the load that you left A vile memory of the past The horror and the dread. But if the moment is over Why are you in my head? Life has taken a new design I feel trapped in a chest My world has shrunken much smaller

    This is the first I've read a story between Geoff and Tony. I like your writing style, seeing the way your characters interact, and how you express emotions. I'll have to check out more of your work. Thank you for sharing this! - Bryant
  21. I also forgot to comment that I hadn't heard of transhumanism before. How long have you considered yourself a transhumanist?

    Chapter 16

    Complications arose when Devan told Jesse that Stefan had been staying at his place to keep safe from Chris. Jesse grew worrisome. He didn’t want to be responsible for putting Stefan out. But Devan would receive a phone call offering Jesse an apartment just two days before his stay at Filiberto’s would be over. To make Devan feel better about moving forward, Jesse suggested he’d be employed the first week he was moved in. He had interviews lined up, surely a job would fall into his lap sooner or
  24. I've watched a few episodes of Full Metal Alchemist and I like the show, but I haven't finished it yet. I wanted to watch the whole video, but I had to watch out for the spoilers..
  25. This was a really cute story, BHopper. I'll have to read more of your work on here :). - Bryant
