as bad as this sounds, something i hate more than anything in the world is when i read someone else's writing and it's about a million times better than mine could ever be, no matter how hard i try. i mean, it happens a lot, but mostly with books by professional authors and it never fails to make my heart drop a little.
but at the same time, i do love reading great writing. i'm just a terribly jealous person and always compare it to mine and wish that i had the same imagination and way with words as they do. well, as you do. haha. i really thought that this was amazing. i mean, at first when you said you hadn't written since middle school, i got a bit worried, because if i was reading something that wasn't very well-written and had to give my opinion, i wouldn't want to be mean, but i wouldn't want to lie. you know? but this wasn't poorly written and it wasn't jumbled in the slightest. it was amazing and i'm very jealous of you. i wish i could write like you can. haha. i also generally don't like oneshots. they always annoy me because i'm like, 'why would i want to read one chapter instead of a whole story?' but i really enjoyed this as a oneshot. i don't know if it would be the same if it was a full story. i think it was perfect just the way it is.
well, i suppose i'll stop rambling now. haha.
Your writing is fantastic and this story was simply so enticing. I really hope you do a full story about this or anything because you can definitely call me a fan of your writing :)
