All Comments on 'Things Get Better'

I'm really enjoying your story...I'm really looking forward to the rest of it. I hope you post an update soon.

Keep up the good work!

what a wonderful start! It does sound like you have spent some thought in the development of the characters. Now for the more difficult part . . . . Keep it coming!

Great storyline. Abrupt ending.

Well, I for one, really appreciate a good story line with lots of character development. I really liked this introduction and I am looking forward to the rest of the story.

Kudos

Great story so far. Looking forward to the next installment.

Waiting for more

I really like your writing style and the story line is interesting. I thought it was kind of odd for her to even think she would be contributing money for their first date, since he asked her and she knows he is a doctor. The tone of the story thus far is that she has not dated, but that seems unlikely given her age and we are told she is attractive. Men must have asked her out over the years, but I suppose this could come up in conversation when they go to dinner. Looking forward to the scene when she tells him her life history, although I am sure that will be like pulling hens teeth.

I love it. Looking forward to the date. John better be a gentleman.

Sidney, I'm sure you're right that men have asked her out. But working five jobs and taking care of a child would leave anyone exhausted all the time. They're probably customer-facing service jobs like waitressing, and being attractive she'd have men hitting on her -- crudely -- all the time. With the unhealed experience of the rape, she'd never even want to give any man a chance.

I really enjoyed the story so far. I hate waiting for more, hopefully it want be too much longer. I like the character development. I do not like reading stories with rape, but at least we did not have to read any details.

My editor quit and I'm looking for a new one. I promise, I haven't abandoned the story. Sorry for making all of you wait so long :(

This is always great to read. Can't wait for the next story. :)

I promise to continue this story, but I'm having some major health problems. As soon as I get everything in my life back in order I'll continue this. I don't know how long it'll be. I'm sorry, but this comes first

I'm really enjoying this story. Great character development and I'm loving to see her son encourage her in the ways he does.

Hoping to read more soon! :)

Great start...but looking at the date this was posted is it a pretty good guess that this story isn't continuing ?

Why write a story and not finish it? You need to stop writing or learn how to finish a story.

I am very disappointed.

I wish, you would write the second (third, ...) chapter. So far the situation is an interesting starting point. What will be the things that draw Shirley and John together. What will she bring into his life beside bluntness? What will he bring into her life beside money, security and hopefully good sex? Which role will be Andy's?

It could end up as a deep story full of insight in human existence.

Yours sincerely, A

You were doing so well with this story and then... dipped out... Why not continue?

Great main character & the doc also looks interesting.. Have a go & finish it!

Why have such a great story and dont finish it

life often gets in the way. Like 'Cast Away' we will always wonder what if?

Yeah, that’s all well and good, but where is the rest of the story?! I mean, it’s been 6 years. What a shame, too, the story had a lot of promise. Oh well.

Sad, loving and now it stops with a sweet hope for the future ❤️ Please hurry with the next chapter. I love, love, love it! So interesting and easy to read
