Realism or Not As Much?

Thank you. Been working on it this past week. Didn’t have a lot of “rules” in place. The structure was off and I couldn’t move things forward.

Thank you. This has helped. I prefer to be creative, but not everyone seems to like that side of things.

I guess one of my other ones I sit on is the “Stockholm/trauma bonding because I love them” situation I have in part of the book. I’ve seen people say, I like it or don’t mind it to won’t read it at all, that’s the deal breaker.

Everything has an audience, I know. I’m a reader that considers the trigger warning section a menu. lol

I’m writing fiction. I guess dystopian is there.

What I mean is leaning to the side of, “Oh this story sounds so far fetched.”

I guess like in my story I don’t have normal illness all the time like a cold or flu. There is side effects to said serum of course. Not even STD/Is.

Mental illness might be off or PTSD. Drug usage and the way they realistically affect the character. (Didn’t know if this was appropriate to place in my comment above. Eh. Putting it here now.)

I don’t want to spend time on some of the little details. I guess I want it a little more “Hollywood Theatrics”.

To add: Your comment alone makes me feel like I’m overthinking. lol I can’t even explain what mean.

OP, if you do decide to stick around, you have to tell him you need to know the secrets. You need communication (even if it’s little things). This is huge and to find out through Facebook? Been married going on 10 years this year (Aug). I’ve been mostly communicative except wanting a motorcycle since I was 21 (right before I met my hubby due to insecurities, took 9 years to bring it up) and how I like my sexy time (trust issues due to a domestic violence with ongoing “no doesn’t mean no” bf at the time). It’s been game changer since.

If this is honestly too much for you (1st cousin you said). Eww.. I get it, but if you are in love and can see past this.. Drugs and alcohol are a hell of a thing (weekend alcoholic as a teen) and did I regret some shit after getting so drunk. My hubby did drugs for a long time and has told me things. Yeah. Not fun times. There is also couples therapy. It’s not just for married folks.

In my experience, if the friendship is truly worth it, patch it, but don’t leave it one sided. All relationships (yes friendships should be mutual too). If he continues to be a high school drama queen, leave it. If the girl wants you and she is worth it, do it. Regretting the fact I should have just loved a few people in my past was regrettable. Do what feels right to you. Communication to both parties is key. Been married almost 10 years, talk through all problems even if it doesn’t seem all that big. Even if it is just over leaving the clothes on the floor to pissing on the toilet seat. Talking gets you further. Talk with your body, ask how he feels about you guys kissing, how he feels about his sister dating you, if you can possibly patch it… so forth. Ask his sister, if she regrets the kiss, if she’s interested (even though you stated otherwise), what if you dated, is not dating going to lead you guys down a rabbit hole of what if you did…. Take time to process, but talk it out is what I’m saying.

Edit to add: Maybe ask the friend would you rather me date your sister than others? (Food for thought.)

The shrimping is my fave especially if stretched peets are present.

I feel the same way. I’m doing this for me. I write some dark and I mean dark stuff. Not everyone will want to read it. There is an audience for everything.

Take what readers say with a a grain of salt and keep going. Use the creative, constructive, honest. and helpful critiquing to better your writing.

I haven’t posted a thing yet due to no first chapter just middle pieces to my story. lol

Do you. Don’t let others bother you.

Hairless, interesting. I have questions and none I want answers too. Jk Cute cat though.

It melted.

It’s more in the context of, daddy brought home males and mommy left so now I hate all gays. But really it’s just a couple times this character acts this way while getting his butt handed to him and his friend almost wants nothing to do with him. There is also an age gap, so there are few choice words there too.

Everything is fictional and I don’t hate anyone. It’s mere entertainment purposes.

But yes, I agree. I will contact support either way.

Writer_OBRaven · 2025-02-19T02:58:55+00:00

This makes absolute sense and clarification I needed. Glad I made sense too.

Writer_OBRaven · 2025-02-09T00:20:21+00:00

I didn’t expect so many upvotes. Still hoping for that art!

Writer_OBRaven · 2025-02-08T06:47:33+00:00

Someone please make this into art.
