If you're asking about style, yes, you have it ;) Your style is very strong and compelling, I like it a lot. There are various grammatical and punctuation errors, which might not seem so important at this point, but they can really impede how a piece is read. An awesome sentence can be ruined by a poorly placed comma. Which is just my inner editing nerd speaking, to basically remind you that if you're going to create this book, you will need a lot of editing and re-editing and content editing and all. Which, by the way, I really hope you do. You have a great voice and a strong introduction. Keep writing and keep us updated!

I've been following this story since you first made the thread (long time, huh), and I am loving it. You have composed it very well. There's just a bit of cleaning to do, and then it shall be perfect! Mwahahahah! ... Needless to say, I'll keep reading it.

Well I'm glad that my story was enjoyable. Personally I feel like I am just dragging it out so much, but that's because I already know what I want to happen. Editing will probabibly take place after the story is finished, but you all are welcome to edit for me. Thank you all for the support, and I'll keep writing.

Well hon i think that you manage to capture the true essence of a true TS and how sed person feels about this so far

As fore dragging it out ? From what i understand about this its VERY important to be able to describe a seen in as much detail as possible without getting overboard of course so that the characters can better come to life sweetie (learnt this from my RP in another sight were we ONLY use words and pics ;) )

As fore the cleaning up ? Well what we ALL have to remember is hat we Rome wasn't built on a day ether and a true writer CONSTANTLY evolves in hees /hers writing So JUST keep on writing dear and you will get better and better on this as the time goes darling B)

I really enjoyed reading your work so far. It would have been great to have had a friend to talk to at school, but I doubt whether any of the girls I hung out with would have been sympathetic. Keep writing, I'm looking forward to chapter 4.

The third chapter was wonderful, but it did get a bit confusing in parts.

Switching between first and third person like that could be a bad thing. And you did it well in Chapter 3, but be careful. You should, however, be consistent in how you indicate internal dialog. I, personally, like when thought is italicised, rather than put in quotation marks, but it's up to you.

At least I hope I understood the intended purposes of everything. Otherwise, it's too confusing! :P

      It was not that long ago that black people were banned from the University of Mississippi.  Schools were segregated and the same excuse of protecting the women (or girls) of old miss.  Times and many feeling have changed with time and federal intervention.  Unfortunately politicians love to separate and divide to gain power.     Hugs,   Charlize

      I agree @Birdieto just "fit in", is what drove us to therapy. I'm not fitting in just to please someone with a closed mind. At least you know who your fair weather friends are now.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Yesterday in the lobby some of the residents were talking with me. One asked, "how come in all the TV commercials at the centre you don't appear in any of them?"   I explained that, "I'm an embarrassment to the centre and they don't know what to do with me." I get edited out!   Quite the differing options with the ladies at the table as some of them said, "that's discrimination", while others said, "they can see why."   Another lady said, "you would fair better if you cut your hair and went back to overalls, you should strive to fit in!"   Their opinions are as meaningful to me as rubbish. I did 45 years of trying to "fit in", and not doing that again. 😉

      Gosh, missed Monday again.   Did you know that Producer Keith Oslen was distraught because the duo his recorded Buckingham-Nicks first album went nowhere? In walked Mick Fleetwood also distraught because once again Flleetwood Mac lost a guitarist in Bob Welsh and he was at least going studio shopping and came to Sound City in LA because he'd heard the drum sound they got there was incredible. He asked Oslen to play something recorded there. Olsen played some of Buckingham-Nicks and Fleetwood loved the sound of the guitarist and wanted Buckingham. Olsen said he comes with Nicks because Olsen managed both. Fleetwood didn't want Nicks but eventually the remaining Mac members said okay and next thing you know - the Fleetwood Mac that scored a huge following was born. Sadly right after the "Fleetwood Mac" album and before "rumours" was recorded, the band got huge headed and got rid of Oslen so they didn't have to play him a lot of music they wanted to keep. Olsen did ok after by recording Ozzy Osbourne, the Grateful Dead, Whitesnake, Pat Benatar, Heart, Santana, Saga, Foreigner, Scorpions, Journey, The Babys, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Joe Walsh, 38 Special, and Eric Burdon & the Animals, among others. BTW - Olsen was also a members in 1967 of a band called Music Machine (not the James Taylor one) that scored a huge hit with the song "Talk Talk"

      Still on contentment high from Sunday.
    • Heather Shay
      CONTENTMENT The relentless pursuit of happiness often overshadows the more subtle yet profound emotional state of contentment. While happiness may be a fleeting high, contentment is the gentle hum of satisfaction that resonates through the soul, offering a sustainable path to life satisfaction. Oscar Wilde's poignant observation encapsulates this truth: "True contentment is not having everything, but in being satisfied with everything you have."
