Continuing with the Vegas flashback. Once this is done, I'm going to focus on some of the other characters. Honest. (But I can't help it. Beth and Emrys are so cute together.)
Just keep going. I am looking forward to how this night will end 🙂 And if they finaly get laid, with such long foreplay 😀 (storywise) Also I happens to like your typos and misspelling more and more. Somehow I find it cute and part of your style. Like in first panel “I KNID of knew you liked me, but …” 🙂 There are some of them also in book, but it adds some specialness to it.
Beth, I think you speak for a lot of us when it comes to feeling worthy of those we care most about. It’s a common problem, particularly for people who are naturally more inclined towards thinking of others before themselves, but even among those who appear to be the most confident and secure it can be a hidden struggle. We can only do the best we can do each day, so the thing to remember is to treat each other with consideration and respect as fellow human beings. Sometimes it’s easier, sometimes it’s much more difficult, but if we train ourselves to be kinder to others, eventually we might be willing to do the same for ourselves, because that kindness will be returned and amplified. Then the trick is to accept it and internalize it, so we actually believe what others can see when we will not.
Eric, you never fail to impress me with your dialogue, characterizations and overall storytelling. You have some of the most human characters I’ve ever read, complete with flaws and virtues, and that makes them real. If you’re writing what you know, as the old writer’s advice goes, then we’re lucky to have you sharing your wisdom with us. 🙂
Not sure this cut & paste will work, but there’s an older song by Sting that seems appropriate somehow.
Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot
by Sting
Let your soul, be your pilot
Let your soul guide you
He’ll guide you well
When you’re down and they’re counting
When your secrets, all found out
When your troubles, take to mounting
When the map you have, leads you to doubt
When there’s no information and the compass turns
To nowhere that you know well
Just let your soul, be your pilot
Let your soul guide you
He’ll guide you well
When the doctor failed to heal you
When no medicine chest, can make you well
When no counsel, leads to comfort
When there are no more lies, they can tell
No more useless information and the compass spins
The compass spins between Heaven and Hell
Just let your soul, be your pilot
Let your soul guide you
He’ll guide you well
An’ your eyes turn towards the window pane
Lights upon the hill
The distance seems so strange to you now
The dark room seems so still
Let your pain, be my sorrow
Let your tears, be my tears too
Let your courage, be my model
That the north you’ll find, will be true
When there’s no information
And the compass turns to nowhere
To nowhere, that you know well
Just let your soul, be your pilot
Let your soul guide you
Let your soul, guide you
Let your soul guide you, upon your way
Let your soul guide you along the way
Let your soul guide you along the way
Let your soul guide you along the way
Let your soul guide you along the way
Let your soul guide you along the way
Let your soul guide you along the way
When the doctor failed to heal you
Only so many lies they can tell
No more useless information
Just your soul to guide you
Let your soul guide you
Let your soul guide you
Let your soul guide you
Let your soul guide you
Let your pain, be my sorrow
Let your tears, be my tears too
Let your courage, be my model
That the north you’ll find
That the north you’ll find, will be true
Let your soul

Love how you’re conveying that.

Crap. I really got to get my editor (wife) to look at these more often….
