    New Stories!!

    Hi y'all!

    I'm getting back into writing a little bit, and I'm cooking up a couple more stories that I'll leisurely update.

    I'm also planning at some point a series of one shots in which the events take place after The Things He Carried. Stay tuned!! And as always, thanks so much for the support. You lovely readers are the reason I want to keep writing.

    Cheers!

    Quick Update

    I know it's been months since the last update, and to be completely honest I haven't worked on the story at all. Life keeps throwing curveballs at me and it's hard to keep up. I will stick to my promise and see the story through till the end, so thank you to anyone reading this for your patience.

    Update: The Things He Carried

    Hey, y'all!

    I just wanted to apologize for the wait for the next chapter, it's going to take a while. I have a lot on my plate right now, so it's kinda hard to write. I'm not dropping the story, but I will say that it's coming to an end soon (completed).

    In the meantime, cheers!! ✌

Its fine, Take your Time. We all struggle sometimes

Any plans on a sequel?

Edit: asking as it seems kinda short to complete so soon story wise.

Did you steal the title idea from Tim O'Brien?

Yeah, but I'm also slowly losing motivation, so it would be better to wrap it up sooner than dumpster-fire it later.

And a bit of the intro from Norman Bowker's bit?

You act as if I plagiarized. It is heavily based on Norman Bowker's intro, yes, as that was a scene that hit me especially hard while reading the book.

But the real question is this: why so cynical? The way in which you're bringing this up communicates that you're just looking for a fight.

If not, think about how you word things - I can't say I appreciated the most recent comment you left on the story as it was rude, uncalled for, and generally unhelpful. Some people genuinely struggle with it - so please, mind what you say.

I'm not saying you did plagiarize the intro. I was simply stating that parts of it sounded familiar.
