Good day my Fan Fictioners… lol.
I just wanted to reply to a guest comments since he/she doesn't have an account. Please note that I appreciate all reviews and opinions. But I am a 40 year old woman and not a teenager. (God I have to say that I'm 40 now…lol) The guest said that I was a teenager and that I should refrain from writing Nessie as if she was myself. That is NOT the case. I wrote Tempted Fate knowing that Nessie and Jake had flaws. Yes it's a love story but they are not perfect (and a few have pointed out the angles I was going with their personalities... and what some past incidents have done to both Jake and Nessie. i.e. Jake losing his mother and blaming himself. Can get a temper (broke someone's arm because they teased his sister when he was a teen… fight in the movie parking lot) fearful of losing someone, being OVER protective. Nessie… being raped and hiding it from everyone… rushing into marriage because he filled a void. I took a few psychology classes in college. I believe that I can do a good job in portraying certain personalities. There are some things that Nessie did that I would break my daughters neck… lol. She's a 20 year old woman now with a good head on her shoulders. (age 15-16 she was giving me grey hair…lol)
The following is the comment from my guest:
Guest chapter 44 . Sep 14, 2013
I have been reading this story for a while now, and I couldn't help but notice that Nessie is a lot more self absorbed than a heroine should be... First she runs off to marry Jacob without giving her family a second thought, which sets off a chain of events (her father cheating, etc.) and now she is acting as if everything is teaming up against her. Throughout the story she has been cooed over, shielded, and generally been treated like someone who should not even be considering marriage for some time. I am a huge fan of this story, don't get me wrong... You can write as well as Stephanie Meyer ... But then again Stephanie Meyer is not much of an author. Anyway, I would suggest that you refrain from thinking of Nessie as if she were you, so that you don't continue to portray her as a weak teenager who lacks independence.
oooOOOooo
So to make things clear... I am not a weak teenager that I'm portraying Nessie as myself. I'm writing a fictional story about people and their trials and tribulations. Hopefully it's interesting to some. This Nessie is practically broken trying to hold on and not completely crack. (sigh)
Thank you to everyone that has read and hung in there. This story is 3 years old. Ugg… my job and migraines keep me from writing as much as I want to. Sorry for the hiatus on some of my FF. I'm also working on a book that I want to get published and have someone waiting to help me do so once it's done. So I guess I have to get crackalackin'…lol.
Oh, since I'm doing what I guess is an author's note… I would also like to add that I posted a one shot called Close Quarters. lol.. My 1st non Twilight FF. It's based off the book/ movie Warm Bodies. (Please make me deliriously giddy and review…lol) And those that know… the only reason I got on FF was because of my daughter when she was a teen. She asked me to write a story about Jake and Nessie after she grew up. lol.. and she asked me to keep it pg 13 because she knows how I can get…lol. That's why I had to make Jake's rated M POV for myself and friends…lol. She's ok with my rated M stories now. She reads more steamy stuff than I do… lol.
