Review for 17 Days

17 Days

(#) ilo9vemcrgmfrb 2008-12-30

Okay, I wasn't going to read this. I read a bit of the first chapter, and I had to stop because it took me back to ths place I was in after my mom died and I started using, and I didn't want to go there. But I read the rest of the first chater, and I cried my way through it, because while I was cleaning up, I went through the same fucked up emotions, and I started to feel like I was right back there again. I decided against the second chapter after I washed my running mascara off of my face. Except I just couldn't stay away. I cried myself through the that chapter, and the third one. It brought me so much back to the place I was in while I cleaned up that my whole body is shaking.
If there was anybody out there that didn't think you're a fucking amazing author yet, they should after this.

I cannot fucking wait for an update.

Author's response

Thank you ... seriously ... that was a really moving review. I truly fucking touched that people really like my stuff and get something out of it.

I've gotten "cozy" enough with this particular part of my past where I can talk about it in passing or make references to it in casual conversation, but writing this? Yeah, I was fucking shaking myself at points just remembering it all ... not just the feeling like your going to die and all the other physical stuff, but the emotional stuff too. It's a test that's for sure. I had to push myself tonight to get this chapter out of the way. Everything in the first week here is pretty much going to be dark, evil shit and like I said, I'm not going to sugar coat any of it. God help anyone that would have to read actual account of full 24 hour days. LOL

And thank you for pushing yourself to read this ... and relive it.
