Alwayswantedto was a great writer and tremendous inspiration.
I read his stuff, and it was like I found something I loved but didn’t think could exist.
I started writing some things, and a few stories in, I wrote one that drew some heavy darts. Discouraging blows.
Next thing I know, alwayswantedto messages me to tell me how much he liked my story and my writing. I am so thankful I got a chance to thank him and let him know how much his writing and his words meant to me.
Great guy.
The person was even better than the stories, the way he would reach out to tell other authors how much he enjoyed their work and encouraging them. I noticed he seemed to have a fondness for stories that took some heat-often because they were a little darker or more serious than the typical "yay mom sex!" stuff, some of his had some dark undertones and not always HEA.
His Pm to me was on a story that a lot of people were saying was just to serious and depressing. I think those comments were why he reached out to people, to tell them not to worry and you were doing just fine.
