These Things, I'll Never Say - Comments

  • Oh Gracious, darling this was amazing.
    Straigh up and seriously amazing.

    I almost stopped reading after you mentioned the name Joseph (emotional attachment thing going on) but I'm tremendously glad I didn't. It wouldn't have done this amazing peice of work any justice if I'd quit right before everything became thicker and shown more of your brilliance. :)

    The girl's emotions were very tangible and oddly, I found myself getting wrapped up in her character. Like these things were happening to me as well, or as if I were walking along with her. I'm probably sounding crazy, aha.

    To wrap up this comment, the only complaint I have is that the layout was a little too bright. ): It hurt my eyes while I was reading so I was all squinty. > >

    Amazing Job. :)

  • I can relate to this so well, it's mind boggling!

    Okay, maybe not completely but this > He’s over there with her. I love him, and I could have had a chance with him. However, I’m a paranoid, overly-defensive weirdo. hit home. Made me gasp, literally, about how close to home it hit.

    I wish I could catch him after school, tell him how I felt, apologize for my behaviour ... but I’ll never have the guts.
    ^nod quietly in agreement.

    I just...I still can't believe this. It's as if you've taken my life, twisted it a little, and written this one shot.

    These things I’ll never say. And the reasons that I'll never say them is because he would most probably laugh and I would most probably die. End of story.

    You're an awesome, awesome writer .This managed to perk me up, even at four in the morning. x)

  • This was great, even with no dialogue. I felt really bad for the girl. The layout doesn't do justice for the story, however. The background color is just bad. Too bright. But the one-shot was really nice. Her emotions were very evident. Nice job. :)

  • First off, the title and the summary are great. Made me really want to read it.

    Oh, wow...

    I adore the internal conflict you put upon the main character. I think it's very relatable, even to those who are outgoing. You described her emotions so perfectly that I felt them myself. The way you described her love and interest for Joseph, made me as a reader love him too. (As creepy as that sounds.) I wanted so bad for Jodie to tell him her feelings that I could just feel the internal conflict not only being placed upon the character, but me. (As a reader) That's very hard to do when writing something, but this was so wonderful. Great job.

    Thanks for entering my contest, and goodluck.<3

  • I'm the number one fan for stories with no dialogue. I really feel the connection to a teenager with to much to say, and not ever wanting to say them.

    'Trust no one, is the only way I can survive high school.' Well, yes, yes it is the only way.

  • If this is based off Avril Lavigne's song "Things I'll Never Say" you thought about it in a much different sense.
    It was kinda like Taylor Swift's "Tear Drops On My Guitar" meets "Things I'll Never Say".

    Good emotion for something with no dialogue.
    I liked this one, good work.
    =)

  • This was so sad :(
    But so powerful. I love how you didn't use dialgoue.
    I always prefer stories with no dialogue.
    Amazing <3

  • Aw, poor girl.

    This was really good. I think pretty much everyone can relate to a teenager who has so many things to say, but won't because of society and embarrassment. It's a tune sang by almost everyone, I would guess.
