So, first, your creative writing skills are amazing *gives applause*
Second, you totally just reactivate my plane fears because of how perfectly you depicted this XD I actually felt my heart stop beating there for a second, haha. The plane ride I had to London was so nerve racking because......it was literally the ocean. All of it (idk what else I was expecting?) So when I fell asleep on the plane and woke up to turbulence I literally (was very tired and delusional) that I thought I was falling into the ocean XD Anyway, the whole point of telling you this is you described the thoughts and emotions so accurately I would have believed it to be a true story Lol!! Bravo!!
so glad you liked it!! i've actually only flown within the country, never over the ocean, so i had no idea what i was writing XD. i'm pretty sure my mc would've died jumping out of a plane but whatever. thank you so much for the feedback! :)
ive struggled with anxiety and panic attacks for some time now and tho its not nearly as bad as what this mc is going through, you managed to express the emotion perfectly!!!
so glad you enjoyed the story!! and the dream this is based on was extremely anxiety-inducing 😬 but at least i woke up. wish we could do that during real panic attacks…
gosh thanks! i only have a substack account bcs i subscribed to hosanna nichols' blog (thoughts from a powder keg), but i do have a wordpress blog where i share about my writing and im considering posting one of my short stories on there soon! if you want to check it out, it's penfighter5.wordpress.com. 🙃
um welp i started another wordpress blog im coauthoring with two friends in... july? i think? its a Christian living blog called gifts of grace. and then i decided i needed a personal blog where i could share about my writing... so i started penfighter! that was in september i think. tho time is going by so fast everything's blurring together 😅
I love this! great job!
thanks!!

There are only a few stories that give me this bittersweet and calm vibe. This is one of them, a sign of great writing! Awesome story. I loved it! ✨

Outstanding job! Very well-written.

Woahhhhhh..... Jack, that was incredible!!! I'm literally speechless right now XD. Very nicely done!

At first I was totally confused, but I soon cought up. Good job! You're a really good writer. But, can I ask you a question?
sure!
Are you Christian. I don't want to hurt your feelings if you aren't!
i am! i write devotionals for my other blog @The YA Section and my most popular post on this blog is about my faith :)
Oh! Good! I was just confused because your characters mom took the Lord's name in vain.
heh well not all my characters share my faith 😅
(also some exclamations seem fitting at certain moments)
Yes, that makes since! Thanks for clarefing! [I spelled that totally wrong!]
Ocean blue...
