The Fourth Letter

Leave a comment

As you’re already aware my first draft has been completed. I quickly began the editing process and writing my 2nd draft not long afterward. The first three letters have been very smooth with one of them almost bringing me to Happy Tears.

Now I’m at the Fourth Letter and it just brings me so much mental drainage to even reread. Every time I reach a new topic I am utterly disgusted. Not even  in my Ex, but in my own personal decisions while dating him.

I was weak.

I was too forgiving.

He could have got away with murder.

I’m almost embarrassed for my younger self.

This relationship was the beginning of me losing my identity to a man. I began putting their needs, their reputation, their desires, all before mine. I began making all decisions for the betterment of him, not myself, not even for us.

Why didn’t I believe my soul had importance anymore?

This is the Climax.

 

Love,

With my First Draft being complete I have felt more comfortable accepting meetings to discuss what my book is actually about. Twice in my discussions has my book been compared to Brittany Renner’s book “Judge This Cover”. For those that do not know who Brittany Renner is, she is a women who gained popularity on Instagram for her good looks and fitness routines. If you look at her Instagram today you might say differently but the truth is still the truth.

Hearing feedback of at least two persons who felt the same way, I felt the need to do research on her book. I had never read it before and I was not one of her followers. I read reviews on the book first before I proceeded to read it on my own.

I read the following chapters:

 INTRO, SETH , & HALFWAY POINT

I remember hearing that a women named Brittany Renner was writing a book on her past relationships promoting it with taglines like “7 men, 7 lessons”. This was the first time I had ever even heard of her name. I found it very interesting but I didn’t rush to read it because of it’s very mixed reviews considering it was about $20 and I wasn’t one of her fans.

After reading her introduction and the first two chapters I understand her being a lot more and can sympathise with her behavior. Once I figured out the gist of her book I couldn’t finish reading. While her book is interesting and very relatable, it’s filled with a lot of graphic conversations about sex  and anger towards certain individuals she speaks of. Such words have become distracting and overpowered the execution of the lessons she is sharing with her readers. I’ll most likely finish her book one day when I’m in the mood to read something that will definitely entertain me in ways that make me feel extreme lows.

It is my belief that Brittany is still in the healing stage of certain experiences. As I reader and writer I can feel the hatred and sadness she expresses through her writing. Even towards one of her exes mothers who she calls a cunt. I felt very drained while reading and almost depressed. This not what my book is about.

“An Open Letter to My Exes” will not make it’s reader feel depressed or drained. I have healed and each word has been written with not one ounce of hate in it’s pen. Not all the exes in my book totally suck balls, lol. Sometimes I’m the one that is sucking terriably and I’m vulnerable with my readers on what I did in those situations. My readers will feel safe, uplifted, engaged, and will gain a better understanding of themselves and their own relationships to help make better decisions in life..
