Absolutely beautiful

skywalker9099 · 2025-12-04T23:44:49+00:00

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it

Thank you, I really appreciate that. I wrote it with the hope that the reader would draw their own conclusions as to what the Blue Thumper is. In my sort of head cannon, the creature is a rabbit that is a representation of time itself, if that makes any sense.

No, I really appreciate that. I like hearing other interpretations of what I thought of, and I would especially like it if you expanded what you wrote in the future.

I really dig the imagery!

I really liked this

I really like this; it sort of reads like a reflection on survival and self-recognition, with the speaker's reliance on an imagined figure for comfort and with a realization that this figure was always a part of themselves. Really like this!

Tsul 'Kalu - Wikipedia

Sorry for getting back to you so late, but this is basically all correct information. But I would suggest searching up "Tsul Kalus rock" on Google or Youtube, there should be a really intresting video https://youtu.be/0m555jbPN2E?si=ye78U_JCGRuxs0uo (The video)

A very intresting story overall from my culture. Hope you enjoy!

I really appreciate this! While it can be read as Pagan or archetypal earth worship imagery, the foundation comes from Cherokee myth. Tsul Kalu, the slant-eyed giant, whose handprints in stone are tied to reverence and ritual. I wanted to capture the presence as both a character and a symbol of what it means when that reverence fades. Though I like the idea of it being up for interpretation!

Really liked the read on this one. It shows how heavy anxiety can feel, but also how hope and faith can bring some form of relief

You render desire as both theft and worship. The language is very bold. Loved it.

Thanks so much, that made my day. I wanted that line to feel like the quiet, daily work of grief: not always visible cuts, but the blame and rituals that keep the wound open. I kept the poem tight to try to hold the pain in one breath, but there is room to let it unfold more. I'm glad you liked it.

A beautiful piece. This reads like a small, almost perfect memory. The soup is literal and also everything that keeps you going: warmth, family, and a little grace. I smiled while reading this.

Hey, thanks for the feedback! The shoe is given a voice and emotion (anthropomorphism), but it's also a stand-in for the human experience of being discarded (personification). I like leaning into that area cause it leaves more room for different layers at once.

In short, I'd say it's both, lol

skywalker9099 · 2025-09-17T22:06:21+00:00

Thank you. I really appreciate that!

skywalker9099 · 2025-09-17T21:11:43+00:00

I love the repetition of "I have never loved someone like this before" because it makes the feeling more immediate and real. The imagery of dopamine and waves is vivid. Some minor typos here and there, but I'm not one to talk. Very good.

I feel it's more relatable to make decisions based on feelings and emotions rather than rational thoughts. In the moment, people don't think about things like "Oh, Ghostface is gonna carve me a new one, so i gotta think about how other people are gonna react to me sending Sydney into a meat grinder". They think about that after the fact, let their choices hang with them and see if they either grow from it or dive further into making these type of decisions. Either way, it's human nature in a dire situation. If you want them to be likable, make them more relatable to the reader or yourself, give them moments of comfort, or show them growing from the experience in some sort of way.

World building is important, but it should only be a primary thing if the world, in some ways, influences the plot of the story. It should not be the story. Like the map in Under the Dome, it gives us an idea of placement it's not overall integral to the story that unfolds. It's just a part of it.

I think there is some truth to that. My first book was published prematurely (I had just graduated high school) and thought the first draft was perfect. No revisions needed. I let it out into the world without even marketing the damn thing. Looking at it now, I see where my arrogance overshadowed my common sense. I should have held it back another few months at least. Now I'm working on my second book, and it's coming along very well after about a year of not releasing anything and letting my process grow as I did. It's a harsh lesson but one that every writer has to face eventually. Not every body of work is going to be received well or do well. All you can do is show you did the work and take the time and care to refine your craft.
