Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts.
Your first point scares me the most though. If a reader doesn't get the twist a great deal of value is lost and I doubt they are going to put in more effort to get a better understanding.
I never thought about plot like this before, and now that I do, I feel like the way I used mental illness was a somewhat cheap shot I used to create the twist. Twine I discovered halfway through after going back and have another look at 'Even Cowgirls Bleed', will probably use that for my next one.
But taking on reverse chronology was hard as balls. Turns out you can't just write a story forwards and just read it to someone backwards.
Again, I really appreciate you taking the time to comment.
- throwanem 10y agoYou really did jump in the deep end, yeah! There are sharks there. But hey, even if it didn't turn out quite the way you intended, you didn't drown or get eaten, so on the whole I'd call that kind of a win. As I said before, I hope you keep going! You seem to have good ideas, and that's the thing that counts. I'm really looking forward to seeing what you'll accomplish with practice. Edit: Which reminds me, how can I best find out when you publish again? I've followed you on Github, but maybe there's a better option you'd be so good as to let me know about.
