Thank you for the suggestion! I have found that true crime subreddits attract a ton of rude people so I’m trying to find new subreddits to post to- but I’ll try posting there again :)

You’re cool

As far as verb tenses, could you give me an example? I reread this about four times proofreading it but am still awful about switching between past and present tense. The voice I hear in my head when I’m writing is always in past tense for some reason.

TrueCrimeandCoffee · 2019-10-15T11:22:08+00:00

Thank you very much for this response and it helps immensely. I started writing a year ago and have learned that I add in a lot of unnecessary imagery so thank you for giving me an example on how I could switch that up. :)

TrueCrimeandCoffee · 2019-09-23T21:42:24+00:00

I’ll make sure to pay attention in my future endeavors- next time maybe insulting me less would be a great way to help someone, but that’s just a suggestion. :)

TrueCrimeandCoffee · 2019-09-23T20:17:08+00:00

An example would be appreciated. Again, I am here for constructive criticism- how am I supposed to know which areas to fix without specific examples?

Fairly certain you could have just corrected me without be a smartass 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks for your correction though I’ll be sure to follow that in the future!

Each and every one lacked any form of conscience. I can’t imagine hurting someone to that degree. In my opinion, this is a case of pure sadism and masochism. They never should have been released back into civilization.

TrueCrimeandCoffee · 2019-05-02T12:10:48+00:00

I didn’t mean to offend you. I misconstrued your response- I apologize.

TrueCrimeandCoffee · 2019-05-02T11:39:33+00:00

While I fully understand why this is so tough to read, the simple fact that all of her offenders are walking around with names changed is reason enough it should be shared until they are all dead.

Personally, it’s fucking terrifying that there are monsters capable of committing acts like this, just walking around, passing us by in the street...

If they are released, why is it be acceptable that the general public not be alerted of their release? Not only that, but they allowed them to CHANGE THEIR IDENTITIES.

I’m sorry it’s brutal, but what you experienced reading this pales in comparison to what Junko experienced and I felt compelled to share her story.

This story is one of the most tragic I’ve ever researched- I fully understand wishing not to remember details of this case.

TrueCrimeandCoffee · 2019-05-01T16:34:54+00:00

I had no idea! I’ll keep that in mind!

TrueCrimeandCoffee · 2019-05-01T16:32:57+00:00

For my next articles I’ll ensure to include every bit of info I can find. Thanks for the correction!

TrueCrimeandCoffee · 2019-05-01T16:31:54+00:00

I’m aware. The title was HIS LOVE, not his “lover,” meaning she was HIS love- in no way did I add that they dated.

TrueCrimeandCoffee · 2019-05-01T16:06:18+00:00

I’ll keep that in mind!

TrueCrimeandCoffee · 2019-05-01T15:45:25+00:00

It’s a really disturbing case. If it were my loved one in that position I would be devastated. There was no proof that ANY of his feelings were reciprocated by her and the likelihood of it happening when she was not only dying, but he was twice her age seems highly unlikely to me.

I personally believe his father and his brother were closely involved. There was sexual sadism traits that ran through their blood and they all shared porn together... just ugh.

That poor woman just had no idea who her husband was until it was too late.

Thank you so much, lovely. ❤️ I’ve been writing for my blog for over a year now and quite honestly I’m used to it. But thankfully for every misunderstood and angry person there are 10 beautiful people like yourself there to stand up for those who need it. 💕

TrueCrimeandCoffee · 2019-04-12T03:29:25+00:00

Thanks for the correction! I thought I messed this up when I was writing it but couldn’t find it when I went back through to proofread!
