RE: When the shadow falls

in Freewriters3 years ago

My gosh.

Are you kidding me?!?! You held me spellbound throughout this. I felt every line. I kept thinking...my word! This woman is stronger than I could ever be

I'm just not the kind that can let go and fight silently, waiting, hoping, enduring.

I just couldn't let go. I simply know my limitations.

I'm a different kind of warrior altogether, but wow. I know these women exist and they impress the hell out of me.

I could have sworn this was your life. You wrote it so passionately, C.H. beautiful and painful and desperate and hopeful

I loved every word.

I still have all your posts in our dm. Don't think I forgot. I never forget hehehe..

This woman is stronger than I could ever be...

It's the wives (husbands sometimes) who often find deployments the most difficult emotionally. They're the true heroes...They need to be as dealing with those who return is never easy.

Thanks Dreem, I'm glad you like it...Just a bit of writing out of the old noggin I guess. I don't expect many will read it but that never dissuades me from writing.

It's hard because sometimes people don't really appreciate fiction on here unless you're in a community. I wrote a 8-part series on here that was a little dark..but I loved it.

And I don't think many read it hehehe

It's just one of those things. I also enjoy writing fiction because it's my passion. Sometimes I'll just write under my anonymous alt-account just to stay hidden and write without any expectations.

Either way...it's fun. I write best when I have the time to fully immerse myself hehehe.

And as for those heroes...I agree.

I honestly don't know how they do it. But I'm sure glad we have them.

Both the warriors on the battlefield and the warriors at home.

I just write for me I guess, and if someone reads it and likes it enough to comment then that's great; if not then the enjoyment has come from writing in the first place so it's a win-win.
