Hey hey,
So I finally got around to submitting my entry for Wayward's challenge. I feel the need to do a little bit of an explanation of it.
Basically, the little story sums up much of my feelings (and angst, lol) that I had in high school.
I was constantly feeling so confused about relationships I had with girls, and just my overall outlook on what I was thinking about "love" in general. After some time I began to just assume that I'd end up alone. At first that rather depressed me, but then I came to feel almost pleasant about it. Which is what the story is mainly about: the idea that if you do end up with someone in the end, then all you have to do is just keep living your life; eventually it will come together.
While some may say that what I am talking about is "fate", I'd rather disagree. I've never been one for believing in the whole idea of "fate", but rather in something that is moderately associated with it. It's more along the lines of, "Whatever happens, happens".
Whatever the case, the story was quite enjoyable to write. While I really do not like writing fiction anywhere but in a book, I felt that this challenge was enough to make me come out of my shell and write fiction on the Internet.
I've also never liked short stories, so it was rather interesting to write one of my own. I wanted to try to write something as different as possible, but still within the bounds of the challenge, so after a bit of thinking, I thought of writing about a metaphorical trial (as the challenge was about two people going through a trial). I haven't done any writing like this in a long time, so it was really quite enjoyable. I don't know if I made the story as clear or as good as I was hoping (that it would be interpreted in the same way that I meant it to be), but overall I am rather pleased with myself on the final result. So because of that, I'm happy with it.
Any comments or things of that sort would be deeply appreciated as I haven't shown many people my fiction writings. And this style that I did in particular, I haven't tried too many times, so it would be nice to know how I did (from other people's point of view).
Thanks everyone.
In a rather pensive mood,
