It's always interesting to pay attention to when a story really feels "live." I believe there are many ways to the place you need to find to write that way. I don't think it's impossible when your life is happy—at least, I'd like to think it's not. :)Annabeth Leonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07455191827664110878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-90451125284431692952017-07-07T20:25:50.733-04:002017-07-07T20:25:50.733-04:00I hope she did have a happy ending!

Looking back, I'm wonder...It was pretty gross. Looking back, I'm wondering why, now, I never had the woman go down on her late husband. There was some kind of a squick there, some place I couldn't go, but I don't know why.Garceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-82787372349608941472017-07-06T05:57:56.596-04:002017-07-06T05:57:56.596-04:00I think a lot about transformation these days.

And I wanted her to have a happy ending, complete with bluebirds, after all the hell I put her through.Garceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-88117001226442479442017-07-05T13:02:23.859-04:002017-07-05T13:02:23.859-04:00These are great excerpts, Garce, though I can'...These are great excerpts, Garce, though I can't really imagine either of them being "dirtier" in any sense. The zombie sex is gross to the max (the effect I assume you were aiming for), and the scene with the violent husband is pitch-perfect.Jean Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805088081675965859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-87719448958580321202017-07-05T07:41:26.049-04:002017-07-05T07:41:26.049-04:00Oh!

That is definitely a violent, and a powerful story. Seems more relevant all the time, too.Lisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.com
