I don't either. I guess that's one reason that all of my stories so far have happy endings. I've tried to make them end sad, but I just can't bring myself to do it.
Yeah, knowing that your work is touching people is the best feeling in the world. It is the whole reason I write. And i totally get what u meant about Auden being alive until you wrote that chapter. I wrote something once and killed my lead guy, who was an angel, and then someone accidentally threw the notebook in the fire at camp=0P. I was gonna have him come back as a human, but never got to write it, so now everytime I think about it, I get all sad. Haha
I can't imagine doing that. I grow so attached to my characters, it hurts to kill any of them, much less the main ones I LOVE most of all. I envy your strength =0) haha AMAZING STORY!!!
Thanks for the comment on my story =0)
