I nearly stopped breathing myself during Orlando's panic attack. And I think I was just so relieved when he was able to break down and cry in front of Michael. And thank God that Michael can hold him and try to help him. It makes me feel almost hopeful that somehow things might work out between them.
The emotions in this story are so raw and beautiful and real. I'm just feeling everything right along with them. In fact, I'm a bit overwhelmed at the moment. More than anything, when I read a story, I want to connect with the characters; to feel their emotions right along with them. Your writing, your words, have made me feel some very strong emotions over the past two days and that is a pretty special and amazing thing, Tessa. This is why we write, isn't it? To make people feel something--anything. The sex is wonderful but the emotions of the characters..that is the heart of any good story.
Roomie told me this is your first story and I simply can't believe it. I've also seen comments that you've had help with your English. My goodness, you have raw talent oozing out of your fingertips, my dear.
I've got one chapter left--it's 2 am (again!) and I don't want it to end. I'll have to endure the wait for the last two chapters and even then, this is simply a story that I don't want to end; I don't want to leave this beautiful world full of very real emotions and characters I care for deeply. You've made me cry more than once tonight. Well, now I'm into the wee hours of the morning.
You have no idea how glad I am that I decided to read this story. It's really amazing, sweetie. *hugs*
Gosh. I don't even know how to respond to such a compliment.
Evoking emotions and making people think is indeed the reason for writing and i am so glad if I have accomplished that with this story.
Yes, it is my first attempt at writing so I'm glad (and rather surprised) that it has been so well received. And I do have an amazing beta who helps me - and stops me from looking a fool in public with all my strange spellings etc. (you should have seen it before she jumped in; it was a mess!)
I don't know if I will write something else once this is finished but the positive responses I have received have definitely made me more comfortable with trying. I have learned a lot from writing it so I feel I am better equipped now if I should start a new project in the future (if a story comes to mind).
Thank you so very much for all your kind words. *hugs*
