I actually think I'm going to have time to write this weekend and I wanted to jump back on this story. Sizing up where I'm at with the story and what I have to tell, I think there is one only one more chapter. I'm contemplating adding an Epilogue, but wondering what your thoughts are on it. There is a poll at the bottom of the Home page. Take a moment to give your opinion!
Chapter Six will be coming soon!
Words cannot describe the anger I have towards Bob. Knowing that he was a character in a story was evil enough, but knowing that he actually existed, that this actually happened to you is unfathomable. It greatly saddened me to learn that this story was based on your life. It's disgusting that there are those out there who will prey upon children and use their fears against them.
Note, I 'm not against loving, respectful relationships, I am only against relationships like what Bob forced you into. Love is love, rape is rape.
I really hope that the reaching out to Noah in the epilogue was real and not just to make is feel a bit better. I hope that writing this story has helped you in any small or large way.
They say hindsight is 20/20 and we all have things we have where we internally yell at ourselves for not recognizing and acting in a different way. In the moment we don't have the clarity of time and distance.
I really enjoy your writing. It's compelling and very narrative. I hope that you will continue to write and I hope that bastards like Bob get taken down every day.
Just wanted to let you all know that Chapter Six has been sent for publishing!
