Thank you so much for your comment on 'It's the Truth'! I also thank you for deeming my "story" epic that's definitely high praise and incredibly sweet of you. :)))
It was bisexual, I think. You're right. I remember this one quote by Bowie that went something like this: Mick Jagger might think he's a sex symbol. To me, he's more of a motherly figure, really. I think that's the greatest thing.
You made a layout?! Whoo! That's great!
I'm half way done with the entry! I'm sort of paused at the moment because I don't want to continue if it isn't what you're looking for, you know? It's kind of...deep and emotional. Hahaha. Is it supposed to be funny or something?
Would you mind if I sent you a snip of what I've written so far? To see if it's alright? Or...would that be....cheating? LOL. Oops.
I think that unimaginative people are weirded out by his characters, you know? Because, one second he's having an affair with Mick Jagger and almost performing oral sex to a man on stage and dressing like this and claiming that he's gay:
to singing about conservative topics like going to church on Sunday and being a "Young American" (even though he's British, LOL) and basically controdicting everything he had said before and dressing like this:
You know?
He's hot, though. And, lovely. Too bad not everyone sees that. Oh, well.
While I appreciate what you've put in response, I kind of think that if you have to explain a lot of those points, it's not going well. I'll just explain a little more in specifics
The problem with talking about the word "finally" for a wait of a week, was that even though we knew they'd been in love for longer, we'd only been introduced to their character with a few sentences from one week earlier. Might it not have been better by not even introducing the characters with those sentences, and work the information from them into the story more broadly
The issue I had with the whole question of the "husband" thing, was that you made it very unclear what was happening there. As far as I knew, he was still in the village, and there was no reason for him to need to try and find his wife. Now that that was in doubt, I was confused about what exactly would be the logistics of the situation. Where was her husband? What was he doing?
If you wanted to make her uneducated, I would say you succeeded in part, but the problem was that as the narrator, she makes it a little discombobulating. Might I suggest instead that to achieve the same effect you included a sentence like "The British...English...whichever one it is..." or something like that.
If there arn't that many soldiers with her, I suggest that then you keep that clear. The suggestion is that when you talk about her fighting clear, there are more, presumably the others who are going to other houses.
I just wanted to help with the constructive points. I hope that helps.
Thanks for the story comment, I'm glad you suffered through it even if you were confused about the characters haha. FYI, it's Green Day's American Idiot.
