Channelling frustration into your writing, use it. As you do. Permeate those pages with emotions. I think it is a success and does not warrant worries or apologies. Raw, honest writing. Keep it coming.
The title and artwork drew me in. Writing about technology, describing it, interests me. But it's hard working with technology alone, as it can be a sparse road. Like the characters you're developing; I just started here, will have to get the rest of the story!
We put a lot of ourselves and our experiences into our writing, don't we? If we didn't write like you have here, with emotion, then who would read it? I could literally feel the tension between them and Jisa's frustration with Warv is palpable.
Thanks Dan, I really appreciate that. I worried it was something of an overshare and self-indulgent, even after editing the post before publishing haha. Your words have buoyed me.
There was something I read from Neil Gaiman once. I may not get it perfect, but the gist was something like -> Be yourself... you have to put yourself into your writing in an honest way to express the truths you believe in because that's what people respond to.
Or something like that but it helps remind me to just write what comes out.
I just read both stories. It’s very touching reading both perspectives, the needs they both have but won’t express because something happened that broke the bond and they can’t have those needs and longings met again in the same way. Love the character building.
Thank you Nadia, appreciate it. I nearly deleted the entirety of it because it was perhaps verging on a whinge and a rant when there are far more pressing concerns going on all over the place, but figured it was probably something that would be good for me to look back on in time.
And thanks for reading to the end. It was impossibly difficult to know where to cut it, but I worried if I put the whole thing down then people might balk and run away at the length of the piece 😅

Thanks Alexander.
Doubt--that fickle, cruel beast.
Ah Doubt, the monster of Caerbannog. Vicious beast, with nasty pointy teeth... Only one thing to do!

Yeah he did, but I don't remember the exact quote either, but that was definitely the gist of it 👍🤗

Thanks for taking the time to read both, Claudia. Your comments are always appreciated.
Ah, they are beautifully, devastatingly bound in their old patterns. Very nicely shown here in part 1! 💖
Thank you, Elnora. Thanks for taking the time to read, as always. It is much appreciated.

Too many things to write and read and post and not enough time, hehe. A good place to be.
I will be getting to your new guest post shortly!
