No Strings Attached. - Comments

  • This was so confusing, but I really like it. I like how it makes me think of freedom, in a way.

  • You really put a lot of meaning into 100 words. The picture matched the drabble so well. From this drabble, I could feel a sense of attachment which was unbreakable. Your writing style is amazing!

  • I... I kinda love this. I think I understand what you're talking about, but I could be wrong. But yeah. You're an amazing writer, and it just takes me to a different world when I read it.

  • Hmm. At first, I was a little confused as to what you were trying to write about and say to the readers - sort of like, what message were you trying to give us? Once I read the author's note, though, and it said this sums up everything you've been feeling recently, I thought it was really good that you used what you used to describe this.

    The picture you used 'matches' your drabble, and I like it too. You wrote about random things, and I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing, but it still gives a good effect I think. In just 100 words, you've written a lot of meaning. :3

  • I don't even know what to say about this. There isn't much to say, but it's still a fantastic story here. I love the photo mostly, that picture just totally matches the words you're conveying and just ack--brilliant.

  • It's fairly short, so there isn't really much to say. Even though, it was really powerful in the few words that I did read. I like how you don't outright say that there's something holding her (you?) back, and that you show it. The strings really do create a brilliant metaphor, which you worked to your advantage well.
    I think it's relatable too, how people feel like they're just... stuck.
    Anyways, like I said, I really liked it, even though it was really short.

  • Lovely layout :)
    I love the pure emotion you conveyed in this; the way you used simple words to build up to a deep picture.
    Nice job!

  • Firstly, and nobody else has hit this topic yet, I applaud your story layout. Often times I refuse to read a story due to the near impossibility of reading it because of a distracting, dark, ridiculously skinny, etc... layout. Your color choice seems relevant to the topic and the imagery ties in perfectly with your theme. And best of all: it is easy to read.

    I got the sense that you were struggling with attachment versus freedom and using strings to convey that was a powerful image that I as a reader could understand, and relating back to your layout once again, the image you chose to accompany your story really enhanced the raw emotion in your work.

  • That was beautiful. I've seriously never read a drabble that good. I could feel the emotion, which is good since it is such a short passage of writing. You got the point across so eloquently. Great work, I'm not sure there is anything you should change about it.

  • I don't even really know what to say because, well, that was really amazing and I could never write a drabble like that. I just couldn't at all, and for this, I applaud you. *claps*

    "If I make it to the sea, I will jump." is my favorite line ever. Absolutely gorgeous.
