Jul. 23rd, 2003 09:50 amIt looks like chapter 2 isn't going to be as popular as the first, which I knew as it is kinda depressing. But I've still had some incredible feedback, but...I just feel so guilty that I've made people cry.
I'm happy that what I wrote has the power to do that, but I get all teary myself when people are talking about how it reminded them of when their dad died, and that they were crying as they read.
The next one is supposed to be angsty too, but just now I'm wondering whether to do something positive first. My reasoning is that they're in this horrific situation, Cascade is a ruin, *very* few people have survived, that has to be angsty. They have to reach bottom before starting to rise again. I do have happy things planned, but not for a few chapters yet.
But the way things are going I'm going to have no readers before I get to that point *g* However, I have a pretty firm idea where this story is going, and that means another sad chapter. Two of my beta's suggested something that might cheer the thing up a little, I'm seriously going to consider what they said.
Man, I don't think I could have killed the guilt if it had been Jim or Blair I killed off. Anyone that does that must have nerves of steel *g*
