It’s been almost a week.

7 days.

7 days of hidden pain in caring eyes.

7 days of hushed voices and abruptly abandoned conversations.

7 days of a forced smile on his lips, hiding shivering coldness.

7 days of knowing he would die.

He shouldn’t have been surprised. Not when he recognized the first symptoms, not when he saw the

I've been waiting for something like this forever, and I expect you have too.
An amazing start to a truely awe inspiring character. You know hon, this really reads like the intro to a novel. I mean you have such a knack for OCs that if you wanted to write original fiction I really think this is your window honestly. Something about this piece is big, I can feel it. Think about it love, I'd be down for the ride

*cuddles* This has been coming for a long time. To write about Shaun is very difficult for me and not just bc he's a very complex character but bc of my emotional involvement. I mean, don't get me wrong, I feel very deeply for all my characters but maybe bc of his illness, bc of the fear that he might just disappear there is something between us that could be very helpful but right now is just making everything more difficult. :)

And honestly I'm scared of the idea of a novel bc the more I write the clearer it becomes to me that the one thing I am good at is this, writing short intense pieces. I couldn't write a proper novel, I can't write stories just emotions. *shrugs* This helps me with OCs, I can feel their every breath, but I couldn't write a proper long novel. :(

Very intense and beautiful as always.

I agree with Liv that you could really try yourself on a novel. You are sure good enough for it. I often read that you just write emotions but you know, why not just do that? Have for example, 5 characters, original of course. Have them go through 5 emotions (like I don't remember what House episode it was; the one with the 4 stages of denial. For example each of them having to deal with death and these stages, for you seem to like more angsty stuff). That wouldn't be a novel in the typical sense, but I dont see why something like that shouldn't be something people would like to read.

I'm sorry, I'm in a very talkative mood today, never mind. I just really think you are excellent and perhaps you want to broaden your writing horizons. Also knowing that you like to act, you could even act your own writings out. Even have a play made of it. I really could see it work. With all honesty.

*grins* Talkative is good. Very good. :) I'm so happy you like my writing. *happy dance* And I feel so honoured that you two think I could do that. Yes, I remember that episode (Season2 Ep1: Acceptance *sighs* I'm not obsessed, nope, not at all :P), and oh boy you have no idea how much I want to write something using those stages

Honey, nobody said short isn't good *snickers* well in writing anyways. What I was trying to say is, you can stick to that and still write something longer. Whatever you would call a book then like that... short stories? I don't know. Don't let that be in your way or stop you from anything.
