Prologue

            I found my wife while I was over at the elf region.  Yes, I'm a human and my wife's an elf. I shouldn't be judge for it yet I am.  I really can't understand people sometimes. 

           Anyways, I thought of it being the coolest thing if I marry an elf. They are so foreign and I just love their culture!  However, my perception started to change after I married her.

           She started having moments where she would go crazy. She would tell how she hates the world, and how our son and daughter are just too much for her.  Over a couple years, this woud just increase. Then, one day, she just left.

A very sad beginning to the story. Hard to combine two different worlds. A very good introduction.

Coming along nicely. One thing I found: judge should be judged. Other than that, fabulous!

It sounds interesting. I really want to read more of it. :)

very interesting word choice, simple but to the point, the image of a man talking to his wife in this content is a bit off. I recommend to keep writing because i see improvement

[Pencrafter]

You have a good imagination and the courage to write. This story sound like what frequently happens in the real world. People sometimes change due to medical or other reasons. Your prologue invites us to hear more.

Slowly, after reading it and understanding, I got hooked. Keep going!

Oh awesome! :O Yes! I like where it's going...Elves are my fave. However, I would suggest capitalizing 'Elf', especially if they are of the tall and elegant breed. :) Excited for more...

capitalizing? that's a new term for me, please elaborate

[Jetta Zippora]

Well I just mean that the 'e' in elf could be written like Elf, instead of elf (which is lowercase) and I think the start and idea is awesome, it's just that when I think of tall and elegant Elves like in LOTR, I remember that Tolkien wrote the word 'elf' as Elf, with a big e. Just to tell apart from small fairylike elves. Unless your Elf maiden is little :) Hope I elaborated enough, friend.

I'm confusing myself now. lol

[deepblue04]

ok, thanks! I totally understand now, thanks!

Well, I agree with UfoAuthor, a lot of imagining is needed when we write of an opposite gender, because the way they thinks is different, and well, even the words used are different as well, so I really look forward to read your story! Anyways, I like the whole idea of the story, and it interests me :D

Hi, Susan!

This is going to be an interesting exercise, for you. Let me tell you why. First, you honestly said that you're trying to "sound like a guy." In order to do this you will have to try and imagine, or better yet, try to understand the way the human male mind is constructed and how it functions, and even worse - why.

Look at it as a challenge in psycho-engineering; that's pretty much what it takes (for female minds too). Another suggestion is to start a writing research notebook. Organize it by keyword and category. Your first entry should be the word "love." Look for all the possible definitions you can find for this word and just fill up the page(s); don't worry about reading each of them or trying to understand the difference (at this time - that comes later). Next, find all the "synonyms" for love and gather all the definitions of those. When you've done all of that little exercise, then take a good look at the mess of "stuff." What you may discover is that there are a lot of "circular" definitions, a lot of "vague" definitions, a lot of incomprehensible mumbo-jumbo. Divide your notebook into "CONCRETE" and "ABSTRACT". Put the definition for these terms (English language please, it varies by culture) beneath the heading for these primary divisions.

This notebook will keep you SANE, because it will allow you to confirm or modify your "working set of definitions" for the world that you MUST currently exist in.

How this world works, why it works, and how you fit into "the grand scheme of totality" is YOUR grand adventure. It's going to be a GOOD one, no matter what happens. TRUST in that and you will always find your way back from LOST.

I'm so happy that you've decided to share some of your thoughts. There is no more joyful experience (to me anyway) than to watch a mind explore and grow and learn to communicate with like minds. :o)

thank you so much, and in reality, my english is horrible, and writing has always been a problem for me. I really like this and I will definantly attempt the notebook on my free time!!
