Wow. I really love the way you wrote Angel. Just...ubelievable.
Your language in this was, simply put, superb. You portrayed emotion so well in this. And I LOVE the comparison of Collins being Angel's drug. It really works with the way you describe it.
Wow. I love this SO much. This = amazing.
(And thank you for the dedication! You are nothing short of inspirational!)

Music is such a main influence in my life, so seeing that a song gave you more feeling makes me so much more happier. Thank you.

You're welcome. I don't understand people who don't love music as much as I do. I think music is the main reason I breathe.

And then I read this. And there it is. I hear her so much more clearly in this piece than all the others I've written.
There are so many lines I wish I'd written that I don't know where to begin. But this one, I still wanted to think that everyone was good at heart. Stupid, right? tore me up. Maybe it hit too close to home, given my recent predicament, but it really captures the essence of Angel to me. I see her as so empathetic that it can cut her deeply sometimes and result in bitterness and hurt, not to mention self-destructive behavior.
I could ramble on and on, but suffice to say, I love this.

I was so nervous to attempt to write Angel in first person, and deep down I'm a bit apprehensive to write her because I feel that sometimes I make her come off too much like me, and too little like herself... movie/Broadway or otherwise. But seeing your comment made me realize that maybe I wasn't as farfetched as I thought.
Thank you so much, dear! *hugs*

BTW, change "convent money" to "covet" ; )
I think there's always a fear, as writers, that we put so much of ourselves into a character that it ceases to be authentic and becomes autobiographical, emotionally at least. Then it ceases to be believable.
At the same time, I also believe we are attracted to write those who're somewhat like us in nature in the first place, so, as in this case, it will read authentic if that happens.
I love that you show Angel as addicted to Collins as he is to her. I think we've all been guilty of exploring Collins' passion for her but not so much hers for him. Ironically, that's part of the impetus for my new plot bunny, though I fear it will pale next to this.

You must try. Please, do so! You're a great writer, better than me... seriously. I'm sure whatever you put out next will be amazing!
