All Comments on 'How to Tame Your Tikbalang Ch. 06'

Glad to see another chapter. well done as always

You are welcome. :)

Any update? I can't wait!

I am working on both this and Isle of Lays. Please pardon the time it is taking. I've just lost my life partner of a decade and a half. I promise I will keep writing these stories. I just need some time to get back into the headspace to do it.

Obviously you've recovered as best able, thanks for continuing to share your time and talent.

Thank you for your kind words. Yes, I am continuing this story. My hubby would kick my hind end if I don't (he loved writing, too). I am happy to share my tales with all of you. :)

First, I'm sorry to hear about your partner. I couldn't imagine...

I'm glad Buwahi asked Tala why she went to find the Bestario, because I had been wondering that same thing since the first couple chapters, especially when she knows how dangerous it is. There has to be more reason to seek it out than it just being her birthright. I find myself distrusting Buwahi because he has ulterior motives for getting closer to Tala. And while I'm sure he's already on the way to falling completely in love with her, I'm also aware of the complexity of the situation. I'm sure this is all your intention.

You have a great vocabulary. Some English words have sent me straight to the online dictionary. It's good to challenge your readers (some more than others where I'm concerned, I think).

Thank you very much for your sympathy. I take it in the spirit it was given, and, yes, grief is unimaginable, even to me--and I have to live with it. But I will keep writing because I love writing and because my partner would want me to do so.

As for the complexity and the danger, they make for a good tale. :) Tala and Buhawi are complex creatures and, yes, they do love each other on some level or other at this point, but they're fighting it (don't we all?).

My vocabulary needs the exercise of using the huge buffet of words available to us all. I am so thankful Merriam-Webster has gone online (and Oxford, too). :)

Please do keep reading this story. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Hello,

I don't know if you're still on this site (I certainly hope you are), or if you normally read comments (something that I am hinging on) but I'd like to say that this is a head and shoulders, easily, above most of the stories I've read online. Not on this site, but online overall. The story is great, and your writing style flows quite easily. I can tell that you either heavily researched the culture and mythology, or grew up in it. This is just so fantastic. Thank you, for writing this. Thank you, very much.

I grew up in the culture and with the lore. My nannies loved terrifying the ever-loving bejeezus out of me with the creatures I write about. :) So I thought I'd do something about having the bejeezus scared outta me by writing about them in a different light.

Thank you for commenting. I love the feedback, mainly because it lets me know if I'm reaching you readers as I intend, so, yes, I do check the comments on my uploads.

Please do keep reading me. I promise to keep writing as well as I humanly can.
