Welcome to Gaia! ::

The Other Side is just a potential title it kind of makes sense but i don't think it really works

other's

humm i don't seem to remeber the other title's right now
this is what happens you do most of you're thinking at 2 in the mornign and don't write stuff down


Emlee knew it was going to be a long, painful night as she walked up the stairs. She always walked up the stairs slowly. She had always wanted to be able to fell where she was on the stairs, encase it was every really dark or she went blind, but she would never count them, becvause she found that it could be and unreliable method. So, here she found herslef, climbing the stairs on her way to bed, talkinga step and closing her eyes for a few seconds to soak int the feeling, opening them and repeating the whole process. She only did this when she was alone, because it was the same childish logic that made her want to "feel" her ways on the stairs that made her selfconcious about doing so. She didn't like to be asked questions about what she did, becuase she felt no one would understand the answer. That and most of the time she didn't really have one.
Tonight she walked extra slow, not jsut because she could, because the rest of her family was sound asleep and Emlee had been instructed to get herself in bed by herself, so she was as alone as she possibly could be, but because her nees and back were acting up again. Her nees very often refused to allow her to stand straight, or stand at all soemtimes. she also had some problems with her spine and there was constantly pain between her shoulder blades. "i'm growing wings", she oftern said. "Just like Merlan", she would finish in her head, doubting that many people had read the books she had and would understand if she said it outload anyway. Just recently, the pain had crept to her lover back and she would occasionaly get what she called back spasms.



there's more but i need a break

i like reserving

Other than the spelling corrections which have been fixed on the previous comment, it looks like this is a pretty good start.

I'm curious about Emlee because she seems like such a frightened and broken character. What happened to her to make her so childlike (unless she's a kid, except the mention of "childish" as a bad thing, implying that she's old enough to not do this)?

To me the use of the word childish had the opposite effect and implied that it was not a child.

yes but later there is the mention of her older sister and her parents and stuff i just haven't typed that yet

eventually yes when my account problems are gone

Just thinking about other words you can use besides "childish"... maybe "childlike" or even "young," despite the simplicity, better connotates that she is in fact a child.

I just think that even though you will eventually explain to us her actual age and situation, it might give the reader a conflicting idea of who she is and who she really turns out to be.

Just a suggestion... hope your account problems are resolved and we get to read more! whee
