No it's totally lost, the stuff I wrote to you personally lol. But there is more to come about F, just not in that story and not until I answer you properly! I only got 2 pages for that story like I told you after. Just remember it's part of a much larger body of work but that was the first thing I wrote that got me noticed in class by my teacher and in a way, changed my life b/c it also was when I started taking myself "seriously" as a writer. And it's still one of my favorite pieces even though it's short, I feel like I did what I set out to do. When I joined the home group & graduated to 5 pages, I tried to expand it. I'm still mad at myself because I wrote some really great stuff but when I re-read it, I felt guilty because it showed the more "problem sides" to Freddy & our relationship and I deleted it. I changed it to this watered down version and there was one person who had come with me from the first class to the home group & I always remembered her feedback. She said she remembered "Freddy's Girl" & loved it so was really looking forward to reading more but that the extended piece didn't feel as authentic and painted him out to be too much of a "Saint" (which he definitely wasn't lol). That really helped me & I've tried since then to always be honest in my writing. My favorite quote about writing is technically about poetry but can be applied to anything. "You cannot write lies and write good poetry". True that! Anyway you keep crushing too. I know you will😉 Xo, G
