YOU'RE GONNA MAKE ME CRY.

That was so, so beautiful and heartbreaking. The way you described their relationship and how perfect it was to them, just to break it apart was so tragic and amazing. I haven't gotten this emotion over any piece of writing in such a long time.

Your imagery was flawless, as always. You managed to incorporate all of the details and information needed for the story to be effective without it being harsh or gruesome and I really loved that.

The way you added that message with the first letter in every paragraph was so lovely. Ah, I adored this.

So incredible.

I'm never one for reading romance-y type stories, but I really enjoyed this one. Maybe it was the twist at the end, the fact that you spent so long painstakingly describing how beautiful their relationship was to then tear it apart, or maybe it was just the way that you described everything, I don't know. I genuinely felt for the narrator as I read through this, their mindset was completely clear and oh-so-heartbreaking.

Rather than turning some aspects of this around to become quite harsh, you've managed to write everything so eloquently and I really do love the fact that you described her drowning rather briefly and...I don't want to say beautifully, but there was a certain grace about it, rather than it being a horrible ending. I've never seen that done before and it worked really well in amongst the rest of the story.

The imagery, description and grammar were all pretty much flawless. I love the fact that the first letters spell out 'I will miss you'. It's such a unique way of hiding a message within a story, I've never ever seen that done before.

Absolutely breathtaking, really.

This story was beautiful! And as I've said before your imagery is amazing! You have a way of capturing so much in your words... Good Job !!!

I wish you didn't ask me to comment on all of your stories because your writing is so flawless I can't stop telling you how flawless it is. I can't think of anything else to write because I'm so speechless and jealous.

Your imagery made me feel like I was watching a movie. I love your writing, Nic. <3

This was so sad and so beautiful! I like how you started off with the good things about the couple and how they were having a beautiful day at the beach. You gave a lot of background into their relationship and it helped me feel more connected to the characters and understand what was going on better. When she ran out into the water, I just knew something bad was going to happen! I like that you described the drowning scene very elegantly instead of being more action-y. It made the piece more beautiful and romantic and I really liked that. This piece was amazing!

This is gorgeous.

I loved how you incorporated an acronym into the story and how beautifully it helped develop each paragraph. You are an amazing writer and each piece I read you leave be stunned.

Writing is one of the best forms of coping with life and it allows us to express emotions that otherwise would have no way of going out. You always pour yourself into your writing and it shows how devoted you are to what you believe in, which also reflects on your unique and beautiful style.

Nic, this put me in tears. If my brother and dad weren't home, I'd be sobbing. This is such a beautiful, heartbreaking, and inspiring story all in one. This gives me hope and I couldn't have asked for better timing.
I read your blog about your dad's girlfriend's father and my condolences go out to everyone affected. Loss really does suck but there is always hope.
You're such a talented writer, hun. Keep it up. <3
