thanks so much for your feedback on Witness! I have been feeling like there is some sort of disconnect between the two - I have a hard time writing transitions from being just friends where it's acceptable to not have a TON of interaction to being boyfriend and girlfriend, or somehow involved or whatever. it's definitely something I need to work on. but you're right, in this story it is a little different because he is gone a lot. and they are keeping a lot of things from each other, not that the other one really knows.
Oh, dear. Well, that's not that far off, right? :D You must keep optimistic. My brother gets out at the very end of June, so that really sucks for him. Hahaha.
I think it sounds like a really interesting book, actually. I might have to check it out sometime. Hahaha. I've just Googled it, and now I'm more intrigued.
@ onlythegooddieyoung Exactly. Even though it sounds like a really dumb book it actually covered a lot of really important issues, like sexuality and gender and stuff. A+ Libba Bray.
...Huh. I never really noticed that, but it makes a lot of sense, and I like that a lot. I'll have to think about it more often because no one should really have to apologize for existing.
@ onlythegooddieyoung I just read the book Beauty Queens a while back and it had this conversation between a few of the girls and it talked about how girls always apologize and say things like "sorry for the rant" and things if they say more than like two sentences and tend to justify things by adding on "you know?" or "It's just my opinion, but..." whenever they talk. 'like girls have to apologize for existing' and ever since I read that whenever I see someone censoring themselves it makes me sad.
Ahhh...that's a good point. Hahaha. I didn't think of it that way. I was just like, "Oh, I'll bore everyone, so I'll keep it brief." But I appreciate you giving me permission. ^_^ Thanks for commenting on my blog.
Oh we fucking know what happens with Damien (some of it was the first chapter) and that's the problem.
