I apologize for not giving a warning. You all are right. I should have seen that.
And to answer your question, @this-is-not-an-alien as to why this particular post hit so hard… part of it may have been the way I wrote it, but I think part of it is because previous posts from Ku connected with you guys and by this time, you guys know Ku and her character… she crept into your hearts… and then I hit you with that… sorry.
looking back, im wondering why I didn’t see it. Usually with something like that I would know to give prior warning to it.
Random thoughts! I think that’s just the hardest thing for a guy doing a woman’s POV that’s the biggest thing I’ve ever come across but you handled it very authentically…thank you for that compliment. I really don’t have any experience with personal trauma or anything like this, but like it was mentioned before, many of us are ultra-empathetic… in fact, my WIP is the very first time I ever attempted to write from a female’s POV. It’s definitely something I feel that I would be unable to do, save for the grace of God.
(Also, another warning-he will not at all be happy about having to do this, so he will explode and start another battle. Sorry, It’s just who he is)Lol that certainly will be interesting… especially since Saevus will be fighting the castle this time… lol. Ku (and maybe Abirami) just might join in the attack. lol. Though Abirami may just relegate himself to damage control… and corralling everyone else to safety…
Yeah, Ku’s ordeal is definitely triggering for us ladies. However, it is an issue that shouldn’t be ignored any longer, so I appreciate that your writing deals with it.aw, I am sorry I failed to be more sensitive (especially with not giving the warnings) but thank you for your appreciation too. I really do try to write honestly about real issues, not color-coating stories or idealizing the world (hehe… idealizing… whose word was that again?) but again, making sure not to leave it without hope, perspective, truth, and joy.
In what is now the second book in the series, I write of issues of discrimination, ostracization and racism – in a way that come natural to the fantasy world… and then the third book, which im about 1/3rd of the way writing, will deal with morality and the value of life…
wait… so, did Airu attack Jade, or attack herself? sorry, I probably should be able to read between the lines, but my mind’s apparently not working right now.
