@SansSerifa yes, love it!

@SansSerifa you mean the eternal love one right?  The next chapter is up but I have to change one or two paragraph before I publish it

@coldpop77 Hey there.  I think I like shorter stories because the tend to be more clearcut and direct.  However if there were longer stories that were always progressing to an end, instead going off on a tangent, I think Id be more into that.  :-p My ideas often spring up from dreams, but organizing them tends to become more scattered.  I have always been good at ideas, but implementing them tends to be more of a struggle.  Thats why I like writing shorter stories.  If you want to discuss story ideas and tips I would definitely be interested.  I would never have guessed this is your first story.  However you mentioned fiction.  Have you written other things before?

@CARUNZIL one thing that I found helpful, is to read authors that write about things you like to read about and short stories are what you seem to like best.. which you'd find more easily online I think. In the past, I used to read a few here and there.. and wound up here lol. 

I'm new to writing fiction and have used this opportunity to create a story and practice my writing skills. I've read books and like all things cultural.. there's always a backstory. I found it helpful to read whatever subjects appeal to your curiosity... and from there you can branch out and explore more. Everything takes work and time. I found it useful to read tips and try to use a variety of resources that help me improve my skills and communication. I'd be happy to share some items with you if you're interested in doing the same. 

@CARUNZIL lol yeah .. to me it sounded like she got tired and wanted to say goodbye to the story. I read the books here .. and there's nothing wrong taking a conservative approach to intimacy.. it worked for Meyer's books.. but her premise for the approach was rooted in her religious freedom and to make the book appropriate for a teenage audience. One thing that was daring about the Eternal Love story... was that BQ had Ah Li prior to marriage but her trial covered the break with what we know about the attitudes about sexuality promiscuity and intimacy vis a vis the Asian culture. I can't help but think of the hypocrisy embedded in all things.. but despite that, it's the higher consciousness that strives for perfection. 

@coldpop77  controversy?  Do you mean the plagisrism thing? I heard something about eternal love.  Yeah, I guess you can say she took a conservative approach.  Not super detailed.   Most intimate scenes were alluded to than described.  I didnt mind that as much, but the endibg annoyed me.  Haha.  I was hoping for a little more than Im yiur father 

@CARUNZIL I later found out about the controversy surrounding the author and the books .. and I doubt she will write a follow up at all. 

@danidrums1997 cool. I tried accessing A different Reality but it would not open. 

@danidrums1997
             Im sorry! I accidentally posted it for a minute, but I hadn't finished it! I had to take it off.  I just posted my story for day one of Zervis week if you'd like a sneak peak.  It's a few days early. :-p
