Break from story for chapter 26
sorry.
I have to write this, and wanted to ensure that everyone that has been reading had the chance to help here. I need to have some help. I am in a quandary about whether to allow Erik to kill Raoul or if Raoul should be spared. I mean, I am trying to help with his healing the anger and dangerous side of himself; it seems that it is so hard for him to stop having a reason to kill. It would seem that the best thing to do would be to kill him off, but I do feel sort of sorry for the Vicomte for the mess he has been through. It might be good if he has a chance to make it right in his head? What do you all think? I just have such a hard time with the true nature of violence, I am unsure if I should write about it. You notice that even when I wrote it before, I skirted the issue; I am a wuss when it comes to that stuff. I will do it if you all think I should, I just wanted to find out how many of you faithful readers would really want me to kill him off. I am still not sure if it would be Erik to do it if I do kill him off, either. Well, there it is your chance to say what you think and help me with this story.
I am almost done with it, I shall miss it, and miss you all being so excited to read my writing, I am so truly grateful for all the kind things you have said, and very grateful for the critical things said, too. I finally read the part I wrote about seeing the ballet girls undressed, and it was a bit lecherous sounding, however, it showed the poignancy of him seeing Christine, a point of reference if you will to let him know what he was missing. I don't know if it makes sense. But I do appreciate the comments about Erik not being that way, I agree and did think about removing it, again, what do you all think, that was found in chapter 11 half way through the chapter, if you re-read it and think it is diminishing Erik in the story, I shall find a way to remove it from the story line. I don't want to do that at all and I see where it could, as I was very kindly told, thank you Erik's angel, I can see your point.
Well, that is all I had to say about the story so far, I decided to ask you all for help so that maybe we could make this story stronger together. I really really want to stress again how much I appreciate all of the input your reviews have given me. I could tell when something was not working by the nature of the reviews and I made sure not to do it again, Thanks also for your patience with me. I promise that chapter 27, since I had to call this 26, will be up when I hear what you readers would like to see happen. Till I hear from you.
Oh yah, if you all want me to just write it and surprise you, let me know that too. You can email me if you want to give me anonymous input. I will read it. Thank you so much. Have fun reading. Marykate.
