This was such a brilliant chapter with so much insight into Bella's mind and heart. I'm so glad she has Jake and Angela to drag her out of her poor-me attitude. It gets wearing sometimes. :o) Keep up the wonderful work!
Awww, thank hon. Bella's introspective tendencies do tend to get a bit grating after a while, but I think she's reaching this point where she's becoming more okay with who she is and what her life is like now. And I think you're right, a lot of that has to do with people like Jake and her friends breaking her out of that shell a bit. Hopefully she's trending in a good direction ;)
Awesome chapter. I loved Charlie at the beggining and Billy's reaction. I could FEEL the tension with that one.
I thought it was very brave of you to delve into the reliioius aspects of destiny. Bella's question is an important one, and I think she'd going to have answer it for herself on a personal level before she can really move on to do great things.
Heh. Dads? Tension? Never ;) Seriously though, those two were so much fun to write. And I'm actually glad you didn't hate the religious stuff. I had the idea for this chapter a while ago, but as I was writing it I kept worrying that it was coming off as heavy-handed. And I really didn't want to pull an SMeyer, where if felt like I was push an agenda instead of just writing. But you're totally right about Bella, it's all about her finding that place in herself where she can answer that question for herself. And I think that until she can, she's going to continue being unhappy.
Wow, your icon is so freaking adorable. I've been starting at it for the last five minutes - no lie.
*Ahem* Anyways, I'm glad you're excited, cause I'm excited too. I'll try and have the next chapter posted in a much more timely fashion. I feel like I've gotten my groove back, so hopefully that's a good sign...
Heh, I'm a Marvel fan. This is a sensitive issue for me ;) So thank you.
Charlie is adorable, and I really don't understand how SMeyer managed to do so little with him, especially the more I write him. There was no reason for her to "castrate" him the way she really did.
AND ISN'T THAT PLACE AMAZING! Man, I wish it was closer to IL because I've never wanted a church wedding until now...
Thanks for reading, chica. I'll try to update faster this time around :D
“But...we...I still have my pants on!” Jake exclaimed stupidly. - HAHAHA!! Charlie's reactions were hilarious (but understood since I'd be worried too lol) and when Billy butted in made it even more funny
( ... )
Okay, that "pants" line was probably my favorite from this entire chapter. As much as I was looking forward to it, writing the whole Charlie scene was so much tougher than original expected. That line was what (finally) ended my horrible case of writer's block, thank God...
And isn't that church gorgeous? Why can't my city have cool places like that?! But it was nice to write something a bit more philosophical, and to explore Angela's character a little bit more. I'm glad it didn't come off as too heavy-handed. Thanks so much for reading, hon ♥
